you're not going to touch an 07 997TT (the first year they came out) for 70k. well kept, low mile 07's are 90-95k.

high mile, auto, low option or undesirable options/colors are in the 80's. anything below that is wrecked or has some problem history.

there are tons of used cars that would easily be in this range. anywhere from maserati's to higher-end AMG's. that's a pretty broad range.

just a quick search of sedans and coupes between 70000-79999 yields 149 cars on the bay

i dont know about tons of cars but you did name 2 and i was talking about realistic choices.

you're is a good example. someone who wants to upgrade from an 08 m3 for something else for 70k.

what choices would you realistically have. i know even some older ferraris are in the 30's and 40s but most not would touch them with a 10 foot pole and for good reason so were talkiing about something relatively new, with better performance, handeling ect..

high end amg's maybe but maserati? what model lol

+1 QP's are definitely in the mid-70's, while GT's are CPO in the high 70's.

I just confirmed that weather cooperating there will be back to back Cars & Coffee (February 27th --8:00am - 12:00 noon! And then again.. March 6th --8:00am - 12:00 noon!). If you haven't been to one & you're going to be in town, it's definitely worth checking out. There's usually at least 3 or 4 GT-R's there. In October there were over 10. 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM are the prime times. People (cars) start leaving after 10:00.

i'll see what i can do, but my primary purpose in town next weekend is an annual shareholders/family meeting which takes place on saturday. i may skip the bank portion in the morning, but not quite sure yet.

i mentioned above 996tt, 997s cayman s and the naturraly the 996 gt2 would fall in with those choices.

a 355? you could buy one but could you maintain a 15 year old ferrari? do you know hopw rare the parts are getting on those? most owners cant muster the guts step on the gas aggressively for fear of something breaking.

amg, ill give you that but really to me, its not much better than what bmw has to offer so a sideways step rather than upward

Blake · 02-19-2010, 07:01 PM

so it's settled: if you want to step up for less, buy a gt-r.
