    Hi All,

    Just want some help with my dilema. The time has come make a change a say good bye to my beloved 348. I was seriously considering a 4200 coupe or spyder (wanted the coupe but now summers here.. the spyder seemed more appealing). However looking in a freinds Glass's guide I suddenly realised that at a stretch I could afford a 550 so which do I go for? The plan is to use it everyday (unlike the 348) but whilst the Masser is a fantastic car and I would really like one its not quite an F-car... Buy the Masser and save some cash or stretch the budget and get the 550?? Then again there is also a 355 to consider but although we all know its vastly different to the 348 my freinds would just think I'd lost the cheese cutters....??? Any comments or help appreciated

    Thanks
    Jaime

    Maser Spyder looks cracking value, and sound stunning. Running costs look high though.

    Coupe has the 4 seats which might be handy from time to time.

    550 is the superlative handler, looks v good. If I could stretch to it, I'd get the 550 if I was in your shoes.

    360 might also be in within reach now.

    Get the very last of the 355. I use mine everyday, for everything! A great car. And reasonably cheap to keep.

    Thanks all, although one vote for each so I'm still undecided!

    Would love a 360 but don't really want to do LHD as my everyday and RHD are outside my budget (£50-55K). Just found out the 4200 spyder I was after has been sold and waiting to see what the dealer with the 550 will offer me for the 348 before committing myself so will have to keep thinking...

    Your budget is perfect for a 355 Spider :) Defo the one to go for!

    I had a masser spyder for a while, it is the perfect car for day to day use, friendly but quick when you want to. Get the roof down and it really works. A 550 just has more low down grunt ... feels like the road is being ripped up behind the car :)
