michel lane Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 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 !!!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
