Would like your'e experienced advice on these two cars.

They are going to be for special occasions and summer use only.

Don't want to loose to much money so this is also important.

Two very different cars, wouldn't put the merc in the same category. Merc has lost a lot already but then so has the Ferrari. Merc will be more comfortable for longer journeys. Mate of mine uses someone's f430 spider to do bits for him and he actually swapped over to a land rover disco as had enough of the journey going from south east to Warrington and back. Short journeys though he loves it

Softop super cars are a no no

You'll probably lose money on both I'm afraid, best investments are classic sports cars that have reached their natural price and general sell for the same.

Whichever way you choose, it will cost you either in up keep, garage fees, secure storage.

Double the price of the car, and if you can afford that you'll be ok.

I see one super car and I see a pretend super car! If you can afford a Ferrari then it's a no brainer!
The Benz is an every day car surely? If not the Fez, why not a proper wknd toy like a TVR, Noble or similar!

F355 and 308/328 are at a fair level and going up in price, classic supercar but servicing still isn't cheap be it a specialist or main dealer

Mark, would you not be better off investing in something like this?

Find a white one and you can pretend you're in Miami Vice.

604bhp? 730lbft of torque?

F430 without a doubt. Hold their value well too.

A friend of the family had a F430 coupe. He had it at 3 years old, and it cost him around £4k a year to maintain. (no warranty). He covered around 3k miles a year in it.
He has since switched to a Gallardo and that is costing him around half of that, and so far it has been very reliable. May be worth putting in the mix.

Brun

Still a Mercedes though! I'd much rather have a Porsche if I wanted a super car, and I really am not the biggest fan of Porkers!

The right car is now on the link dont know why it kept putting the merc up..

Its a gallardo or a 430 in red for a nice summer drive out will be doing 1k miles a year if i have it that long.

Might do gallardo first then trade it for 430 see how i get on

They are both at a freind's garage so i think im going to have a test monday

YOU, asking for advise, thought you'd had em all by now lol.

But yes the Ferrari would hold value more but IMO have the old man ownership look to them as the lambo has the cool guy look, both good cars, but if your looking to keep value then go for Ferrari, if not then I'd go lambo.
I would personally go for the car that performs the best, handling/power etc, so have a test drive in both, maybe a 24hr one that way you can decide best.

Good luck I'm NOT geleous

every man and his dog want a ferrari....I 'll take the Lambo please

Brun

With a sprinkling of Maclaren added but still not special enough for me! I'd actually take a black edition over the SLR! It still looks like a Mercedes but with touch of chav added in

Forget the merc was a mistake on the copy and pasting off pistonheads.
