Just watched "The Cars of 007" on Top Gear. Maybe a Rapide.....

 

 

So i think the GT is out of the contest....

now its between GTR and the NSX....the GTR being the more logical choice with AWD and FI from factory....and the NSX being the more fun to own, with trying to build it and the Targa top making it a "convertible"

 

I was starting to think samething about GT
If you want luxery driving or DD, just get a e38

For that price, after paying 60-70K, you would want to hit the top on track and push the limits

--

I love NSX, to me it's one of a kind. Would by it because of Senna. But interior is too old
GTR is like videogame inside, perfect for track

NSX might be cheaper but why not pay little bit more and get a new design GTR
but, not saying no to a NSX, just can't

 

Both cars are a head turner, but the NSX looks like an exotic. Obviously, the GTR completely out performs the NSX, but still.

You can't go wrong in either.

 

NSX all day. $70K will be more than enough to get you into a mint condition one before the facelift & modify it.

 

Yup, exactly.
NSX gets the +1 on exotic
And its one of a kind, its done

What if GTR changes the design next year or something?

 

If you do go for the NSX, read the Wiki on NSXPrime. Youll learn a lot of valuable things and it will help you find the right NSX.

One thing to keep in mind is the snap ring failures that effected certain transmissions (serial number range listed on Prime) on the early models. If they have a lot of miles though, you shouldnt have to worry about the snap ring. It typically fails early.

 

can somebody teach me how to post a new thread =/

 

You should start a new thread to ask about that.

 

Doo eet

Great info Morgi...I will read up more on Wiki

Meko, if they change the design and if I dig how it looks maybe, we can wait another year or 2 until the new models come down to 65-70K and I can buy it

 

And at that time we will say the same thing right hahaha

Is there any NSX with a good deal around you?

 

One of these bad boys flew by me yesterday.. and man it sounded and looked bad ass!!! Not this exact one... but it was murdered out similar to this one; CL 63 AMG

 

CL or CLS?

 

Did someone say CL63? AND under $70k?

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/3404139692.html

I'm in love with those but damn they depreciate

 

CLS* And I never really searched for 'em because I never was interested in them... until yesterday.

What's the price on the one you posted? CL is blocked at my work.

 

2008 CL63 with 34k miles for $64,900

 

There seem to be plenty near me. So Anil, if you like one thats out this way, Ill gladly drive it back to KC for you. Ill even cover the gas

 

CL AMG

My current dream garage includes a CL65. 738 lb. ft of torque.

 

The sad thing about AMGs is that they're like Italian cars; they depreciate but the maintenance fees don't.

I found a C63 AMG of the current gen., few years old for around $40K with roughly 10,000/miles a year like the one you posted. Brake service all around is $5,500-$6,000; fronts are over $1,500/side. Who knows what the optional ceramics cost.

 

 

If I had $70k just lying around for a car....

It would be used as a down payment on a 2015 NSX.

I'd also use a little of it to build an addition to my garage, with a lift so I could store said NSX and my S2000 atop one another.

 

hard to choose.

used GTR for sure, just for performance but realistically if the options were on the table...

slightly used e92 m3...those v8 engines are impeccable!

 

Seen 3 of these rolling all white in Korea town today lol. One that passed me, made my car feel puny...The exhaust sound on one of those thing...my god.

 

I could never afford one on my salary but gd i'm tempted to lease one for 24 mths on my car program, rebadge it and pretend it's a c250, all the while racking up the debt for the hell of it.You only live once right...........

 

Would a modded S8 be out of the question? Not new, but a few years old....

 

how will you get back

well i dont have 70K lying around....i am just saying....

but yeah the maxxx is 70K....one thing i hate is payments....I like to get rid of them and like to live my life without worrying about payments....so hence the max is 70 K.....

lift in my garage, i shall do that one day....and might have the TL atop a 70K car LOL

I hate them Audi's....my uncle has a 2006 A6 with Sline package and it needs something or the other every 2 months and the maintenance bill is in the 2500+ range....

 

Anil are you determined to buy within 6 months or so? Would you considering waiting longer so you can increase your budget?

 

Ty...this is just hypothetical....

I am working on something and if all goes good then yes in the next few months....if not then gonna keep everything as it is

 

Im going to stay there, living in your mansion and driving the NSX whenever I damn-well please.

 

possibly a clk black.. doesn't have quite the numbers but on looks alone

 

if you quit your job in VA then how are you going to pay rent?

 

Morgan works the corner at night for me. He's become a favorite for many female clients since the vampire craze started with True Blood and Twilight and such. There's no need to watch over him since he's easy to spot with his translucent skin. I get 90% of his revenue and he gets the scraps. Considering he just got the house and the FR-S and such, that goes to show how valuable he is to my operation

 

 

I'm going with the CTS-V as well........best bang for the buck and the sound is MEAN.

 

If I plan on buying a brand spanking new car, it will be the CTS-V...

 

I'd probably buy the Ariel Atom and keep it garaged at the track.

 

Yeah it was a white one that flew past me in Downtown Boston. That thing ROARED
