We are selling the M3 fairly soon and we are starting to look at new options. Trying to get my dad into a murcielago lol. I told him to go mental and get whatever he wants. Is the new M3 out in the new year??
We will probably sell before that comes out.

What other options are there for about £120k max?? Preferably something fairly new.

weeeee, i would go for that new marcos it cost like M3 maybe little more but got more power

From an M3 to a 120KGBP car?

Neema702 · 09-13-2005, 02:36 PM

Assuming that would be around $67K US, i would say either an S4 or a C55 if your going for a sports sedan, a LS430, a A6 or a CLS500 if you want a lux. sedan, and a Boxter S if you want a sports car.

er 120k pounds is just a tad over 67k $...more like 200k $ i think...i dunno what level of practicality etc u want? u could go for a porsche, or a TVR??or...man there are so many nice cars out there, just make sure its a good one

[EDIT]Dani's choice seems a very nice one

definately recommendable

£120k equals roughly $220k.

For up to 120k you're looking at:

--- New ---
Aston Martin DB9 / Volante
Bentley Continental GT
Ferrari F430
Merc SL / CL 55 AMG / 600
Lamborghini Gallardo
Porsche 996 GT2

--- Used ---
Aston Martin Vanquish
Merc SL / CL 65 AMG
Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale
Ferrari 575 M
Lamborghini Murcielago (?)

My choice... something with a RUF badge

He's coming off an M3? That means practicality isn't an issue?

F430 or a DB9 then. Or an M5 if he's the practical type.

Personally, I would go get two cars for 120k. An AM Vantage and a LR Disco 3.

or...

If you're dad's patient. Wait for the V12 Quattroporte with the new autobox.

It' difficult to say as you haven't specifies what kind of car you are looking for. As already said you couldn't go wrong with an F430, or even better a DB9, it's quite significantly cheaper and will leave you more money to spice it up with equipment.

Save yourself a bit of cash and get an AMV8; or you could get one of them and a track car such as a caterham/atom etc.

If not, go mad and get a murci with a tubi or similar

I always find it suprising that someone looking at a car in this price range needs to ask (or get his son) at an online forum what car they should get......but thats just me.

Honda_PoD · 09-14-2005, 09:54 AM

Cayenne Turbo and you will have money for options

Yeah?? We have had the M3 for 2 years. Business has been sold and new one bought.

Anything really, thats the reason I didn't specify.

Neema702 · 09-14-2005, 01:55 PM

sorry about the conversion issue earlier, i don't know what i was thinking. as for the car, i would say go for a F430 if you want a exotic, a S65 if you want a sports sedan, or a Bentley Flying Spur if you want luxury.

personally... i would go for a Range Rover and a 911 Turbo.
