Default I LOVE the S600 but....

I got to thinking about this because of the 2 threads by wantone. Plus I know a guy with a 911 turbo (also in the $120's). The thing is most people spending $120K also have another car to kick around. The guy I know with the turbo also has a 330i.

So if instead of getting a S600 wantone had gotten a E55 AMG, he'd have saved $40-50K that he could throw into a FX45 or something like that.

I know most people spending a ton of money on one car can probably afford to buy several nice cars.

I like the S600 a lot but here's what I'd do if I were spending that kind of money.


Say all you wanted to spend was around $170-180K With this you could buy:


One car: like the GT2 or 360 Modena


Two cars like : S600 + Boxster S



Here's my list: (2 cars)

GT3 = $100K
E55 AMG = $75K


What are your guy's "dream list" if you had $170-180K to spend?

Hah. if I had $170 grand to throw around I don't think I'd have to worry about what kind of car I was buying.

If you're spending 170 large on a car, why not go the extra step and spend another $100k?

575M Fiorano for me.
