i have decided to keep mine now, chap came over from denmark , offered me the price i wanted and let me think about it .. 2 days later i told him i was keeping it . I have test drive the following :

 

1: DB9

2:VANTAGE

3:355 SPYDER

4: 348 SPYDER

5:996 TURBO

6: F 360

7: F 550

 

Apart from the looks and the workman ship in the cabin , these cars are a money pit , servicing was to expensive and the performance was pretty poor, even the 550, i was dissappointed with. Nothing really compares to the supra, ok the cabin looks abit dated , but for an extra £2000 , Iam getting the driver console leathered and new satnav system installed. Also changing the exhaust system to make it more driveable .

 

What iam trying to tell you Gaz, the supra makes mince meat out of all these cars in performance and overall running cost, i think ill just change the colour scheme every 2 years and get new seats for mine. Have a re-think again , iam sure you will make the right choice. Also have you seen how much 996 turbo's are dropping in price !!!!!.
