OMG, I seriously regret asking for advice in this forum.

Why not go and ask for advice on a Supercar forum? Although I rather suspect the reception you get will be even worse. I am lost for words that you appear to be suprised with the reaction you got here.

The very fact you think buying a 150k car is like buying any other car demonstrates quite clearly that such a car is completely unsuitable for you.

You can't go to Tesco in a 150k car, not very effectively. Well except perhaps an CL65, but thats about it.

R32 Golf.

Unless you have a million I would consider carefully the need to spend 150k.

Which cars have you driven so far? Try some porsche, maserati, ferrari's perhaps. 997 turbo is a very nice car but doesnt have the italian flare of say a GranTurismo S.

Thanks to the people that are giving me ideas. Much appreciated.

Dont need a family car. I just want a nice 2 door, sporty car but not too sporty with the horrible seats and mahoosive spoilers etc. I quite like the DBS, checked on piston heads they have one for about 152k and above. I dont know!

Have you even bothered to read the replies properly?

It seems not as there have been lots of very sensible replies, but he's choosing to ignore them and focus on the other ones.

[TW]Fox · 15 Oct 2008 at 19:29

Just a quick question, no numbers are required just a yes/no - is the total amount of money you've come into significantly more than 150k? As in, many times more?

Obviously.

Alright, alright. I obviously havent been keeping an eye on the 20 year old supercar market recently

I wanna know how he came upon the money tbh

Talbs13 · 15 Oct 2008 at 19:31

I didnt state that i wanted to buy a 150K car, i would be happy with a 50, 60k car if i like it.....I was just asking for ideas and what you would do. Nice comment about investing it! LOL.

Fox, please tell me why i made such a mistake posting in this forum? I dont see anything wrong with it? Just because i have a large budget doesnt make me a liar?

Umm, maybe you should read my posts? I said "Thanks to the people that are giving me ideas. Much appreciated." Try again.

They're not sensible, considering you seem to not know anything about the cars anyway. Which is exactly why people on here are saying that you shouldn't spend that much.

To be fair, you moaned about the replies three or four times before commenting on the few that actually gave advice.

£40k Ferrari 355, keep the change for running costs.

Whats the point in replying to that because you wont believe me.

The point in replying to that would help to judge what kind of car you could afford to keep on the road.

Just like the old addage that "unless you can afford to buy two ferraris, you can't afford to RUN one."

Maccy · 15 Oct 2008 at 19:34

Answer and maybe he will?
I think you should spend a lot less and save the rest, hence why I suggested an M5/similar.

Well to be fair to myself, i did say in the original OP that any negative people who dont want to help, go away. I think i made that quite clear. Maybe i should say it again?
