New car?

[jhmeg2]

Thinking of getting rid of my Mercedes, and moving on to a Maserati Cambiocorsa. When I was a kid, grandma always used to comment that " someday you can take me for a ride in your Maserati." Not too bad I think for under 30 grand, I can get almost 400 horsepower from a 4.2 liter Ferrari engine with f1 transmission in a Maserati Coupe. I sell the Mercedes Benz I sell the boat I have a nice car to drive to the golf course, and live out my grandmother's dream. You only live once might as well have fun with what you got. My life has been... Shall we say not the most pleasant of ups and downs over the past 10 years. Maybe I should just splurge. What do you guys think? Here are a couple candidates.
And my current Mercedes

If it works for you, do it!

Those aren't my cup-o-tea in the Maserati realm.

Honestly, I think the Benz looks better.

 

[J.P.C.]

benz is old man's car - go for the Maserati!!!

Porsche. There is no substitute.

 

[subsonic]

What about maintenance costs on the Maserati?

 

[azgreg]

May as well go for the gold and get a Bugatti Veyron.

Porsche 911 Turbo. There is no substitute.

Call me a weirdo, but I absolutely love the Bentley Contintenal GT Speed.

I like the Quattroporte, but Maserati's are known for being the biggest lemons going. There is not a hope I would buy one second hand.

Weirdo.

A 911 Turbo is God's way of telling you that you have more money than sense. You learn this right before it kills you.

I want one.

When I was in Germany in the mid 80's me and my roommate rented a Porsche 928S and drove the Autobahn for a while. Had a great time.

No...that's a GTR

Actually...they're a lot closer in terms of performance than I thought...

The bigger difference is the GTR is almost half the price...

I would take the GTR...

Bugatti and Bentley are just a few bucks over $30k.

I'm with Lark on this one, I like some Maseratis but I think your Benz looks better than both of those ones. However, this isn't my decision so if you want it and can make it happen, then do it. Be a car ho!

The Bentley is chump change in comparison to the Veyron. At least I was on a budget.
