Planning to sell my Z. What to get?

alexanderb · 01-02-2014, 07:46 PM

Hi guys,

First off, happy new year! I'm thinking of selling my Z and need help in deciding what to get next.

1. New Corvette.
2. New Porsche Carrera 4S
3. Used Gallardo
4. New or used R8(depends if I stretch my budget then I go new -> this is what the wife wants to get)

I'm looking at the Carrera 4S as it's within the budget range. I do not know how reliable a used 05/06 Gallardo would be(read scary maintenance costs), the new Vette is cheaper too so it works well for my budget, and the R8 is a bit of a stretch if I get it new. Budget is around 90k - 100k max.

I am not thinking of getting a GTR. The looks don't appeal to me.

Thanks guys!

What's your criteria for your next ride? Daily driver or weekend car? Have you test driven them?

Wheelbarrow. Another thread already hashed this out.

oh and in for the comedy and hate posts to start.

alexanderb · 01-02-2014, 07:51 PM

This will not be a daily driver. I have not test driven them and probably will not be able to as I live all the way here in Manila and will be importing the car just like I did the Z. I never test drove the Z and it turned out great!

If anyone can point me to this thread that would be great. I tried looking but could not find it.

Thanks!

Time to choose, 370Z or..........

A Carrera 4s is over $100k.

Only if you option it out a lot. I did a quick spec and mine came out to 105 which is not much more. That's if you get the base model though without optioning it out. I could live with 5K more I guess. But the Carrera 4 is around 90k only so maybe that would be a better option...

Maserati Spyder.

Thanks falconfixer. I had a read and it does not answer my question. It was mostly about wheelbarrows! haha

Mods, if that happens to this thread please feel free to close it.

Carrera 4S, though I prefer just the S. Good luck.
