Sweeeeeeeeeeeet

keep in mind though, a 360's list is only 147k, plus destination and etc. so even if it takes a dive, its still holding the value. what can 130's buy you rightg now? a '00 coupe without much options, thats a 5 yrs old car losing like 12%. even if it hits 100k(which i HIGHLY doubt will happy within 3 yrs), it still has 2/3 of value over 8 yrs period, i dont think thats shabby compared to other exotices or sports cars.
the only 360 that dips into south of 100k within a year, will be a euro or with very very high mileage, we will see.

I'm just feeling a lot of love right now

 

because i really dont want to sell. once a while i feel like shifting and f355 is a good car to fix the urge.

we buy what we like, no matter what brand, if i like lambo i would be driving a 6.0(best lambo in my opinion) no matter which is a hotter car.

although fact is:
a 170k list gallado u can buy for 140's.
a 5 yrs old 150k list 360 goes for 130's.
i think that's enuff said, to show what's "hot".

not knocking the gallado, its a heck of value for exotic car at the discounted price. why pay 120k for a porsche turbo when u can get a g-car for a bit more.

 

"...why pay 120k for a porsche turbo when u can get a g-car for a bit more."


Finally something that I can agree with you on. However, those cars are two very diffrerent animals with typically different demographics. If it were me, it would be "G" all the way. In silver please with manually adjusted seats (my head hits the roof on the power equipped models)....

Oh and if someone is paying $120K for a 996 Turbo at this point, then they deserve to lose $50k+ in a matter of 2 years!

 

Nice, Noah.

Can't wait to hear that Tubi!

 

I did mean coupes (sorry about that), and the cabs will definitely hold more value than the coupes since they won't be producing a 997TT Cab for the foreseeable future. The coupe on the other hand is long in the tooth and you can pick up a 1 year old example in the high $80k to low $90k range if you look hard enough.

Unfortunately for the 996, long term values look to plummet as the 997 becomes more prevalent. That's just the nature of that series...

 

WERD UP, PLAYA!

{ I'm not getting into the Gallardo price debate. }

 

i saw a "loaded" 996tt s coupe at ny auto show sticker over $160. it did look nice with factory painted wheel body color and tons of carbon fiber trim but who would pay that kind of money for an out dated model???? sometimes i think p prices are worse than f

 

The "S" is a Special Edition TT. 997TT's not being launched till end-next year.

 

I thought the S was basically a GT2 with AWD and more luxury options. It was easier than saying, "996 Twin Turbo with the X50 Power Package"

It's an awesome car, but you get $0 on those clever options at trade-in.

 

where?
i was actually looking to get one, wanting to spend low 80's, seems that barely can get '02 with under 10k miles. if a '04 can be had for ~90's i might well go with '04.

 

fwerrf.
if u want some extra power, just chip the shiet. why pay that much for factory option.

My friend Jon (who was born in Taiwan, to American parents) has a 1997 Arena Red 993 Turbo with a full treatment from Autothority. The only AWD car I liked driving more than the Gallardo...

 

Sign me up Noah... I wanna exercise the G car asap!

I distinctly remember your grin when I turned to you @ Autorox and told you how gorgeous that car was, when it pulled onto the stage. Congrats!

(p.s. Reading this thread does make me want to smack my head against the wall for paying what I did when I did for a car that would sell for what it would now. But hey, it's been and still is fun. And I think I can keep my cool as long as they gEt mY a/C wOrKiN aGaIN!)

 

Spoken like a true 550 owner!
