Buy it! I was seriously considering this unit but then mrs says she'll hang me to dry with her laundry should I bring it back It belongs to two chatters here who would be more than happy to feed you with the history & it turns out that I know the 1st owner too, who's also driving a Murcie now. Anyway, it has a new belt job last year & a new air-con system that's still under warranty. The manual gearbox is much better for long term keeping with much less headache than F1s. Price is quite cheap IMO as it has a new COE & 355s are still asking for sub $200k with only few years of COE left although COE is most reasonable these days. When the 360 was launched, it was a milestone ahead of the 355 & has the glass back. The owner also upgraded the Challenge grille which is a brilliant design. If u are feeling rich & naughty, you can also install a Novitec twin superchargers for it & they did it on a manual F360! Do check your insurance & transfer fees for this. Set aside S$5K average a year for maintenance but could be lesser than that till u ganna a big Ferrari bill
You're absolutely right, I think it's a hideous looking car. The Lambo Estoque and the Aston Rapide look so much better!
oh yeah it really does not look nice to me @ all i would have to say the Estoque looks the best of all, hope it does go into production. .the Rapide just looks like a stretched DB9 to me..
Thanks for the advice, guess I got to hold it off the purchase, maintenance seems pretty expensive compared to a Porsche.. Anyway, would save more till I could comfortably afford one though!
Yup me too. All the reviews I've read so far haven been praising the car for retaining its Porsche-like drive and character but at the same time providing levels of comfort and luxury comparable to German flagship sedans. But it really looks just like a stretched Carrera, inserting the extra middle section between the front and the rear, sort of like a low-slung wagon.
Check this car out! It's a car designed by Citroen for GT5. It was originally intended only to be featured in the video game, but now there's a real drivable concept car out on the roads! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO26tmL-_gE
Been watching this thread and the happenings for a long time already. Great place to be in! This is my first/second post! Hi guys. LP560-4 Spyder hit our roads already! Oops, this is a Ferrari place, so here are some Ferraris with the Spyder. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gene_photography/ Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Joined the drive thanks to Fongster. Yes SF, I believe we've met... Car Freaks.... love your murci.... Great pics, Vanq and Synergyx... and nice drive with all the big boys!
Oh it's u! We've definitely met a few times since then including your "ES"? & the new owner was briefly in this chat before as well. Heard that u've just bought another 911?
Actually, it's not that bad. You've got to drive it more often to have less problems & it's a lot more modern & easier to drive than anything earlier. For this price, there's nothing else you can find in the market that matches the prestige, sound, power & that Ferrariness. You also won't lose much IMHO. Ferrari is the only brand in the market that holds body value for their cars. I can think of none except a few handful model that are not desirable otherwise almost all models in it's history are "collector's items". I won't say a 360 will be as they made tens of thousands of it & probably a good 10% are written off by now
Sir, please don't tell us you ordered it white with red cabin? Just remember to get the chromed rims too!
Hi Gene, welcome to finally show yourself. U have some nice shots in your flickr but do take note of the settings on flash (never easy) & play with your ISo, exposure etc. I have not seen the Mugen RR in the flesh yet & that is one very interesting car but sadly overpriced when it reaches our shore.
you know i have always been in the market for a big saloon (remember the xjr, followed by the qp?). the c63 is damn fun but it lacks a certain presence you get with a range-topping uber-saloon. not really an "action" thing but sometimes, you just want your ride (even if it's the four-door) to have that little bling factor. have been waiting for the rapide a long time (still miss my db9 - looks, not ride) but the delivery timing still can't be confirmed. worse yet, the initial indications on price are quite discouraging. the panamera is not classically good looking (neither was the qp) but it does have presence so yes, i am sorely tempted. i also have to say, and no i am not a closet employee, that among the exotics, the service provided by stuttgart is of a uniformly high standard; from sales to aftersales and i have reached that stage in my ownership experience where that makes a huge difference.
oh wow, nice speech...go for the Porsche I say, its a nice car, try the configurator, lots of nice options
Of course, just disturbing u I thought the QP looks quite nice, do you still have that, no? I know what u mean about service especially when Stuttgart throws in 5 yrs warranty..... that's why even I'm tempted with the new GT3.
Anyway, saw this today. I haven't seen any pearl orange lambo that's so "WOW" for a long time. Now, this is glam factor on a scale of 10! There was a Gallardo with the same colour parked next to it but the big bro simply steals the show. Congrats to the new owner. Btw, two SVs have arrived as well but viewing for clients only for now.
