I would look into Porsche 996 Turbos personally, I would have got one too if I didn't care about maintenance costs too!

I almost bought a used 996, only problem was the fact that i much prefer the 997's. So i couldn't pull the trigger.. And used a 997 is the cost of a new GTR hahah... Between the 2 id take the GTR...

And if you can afford the price tag of that car the maintenance costs wouldnt matter.

I don't know, man. I used to say that, but think about it. If the person is paying cash, I agree with you. If financing, maybe, maybe not. I know I could not afford a blown engine/transmission on a supercar if I was also paying a note on it.

then you shouldnt be owning a car you cant maintain. But if you can afford a 100K car, even if making payments then paying for scheduled maintenance not repairs that are covered under warrenty shouldnt matter.

Well, if you can just spring for a $20K transmission next month, sure, buy a GT-R out of warranty. I just don't know many people who can.

I am not talking about brakes/oil/etc. That's not under warranty either except for BMW's 50K thing.

I would be scared of maintenance costs as well. I thought about it, but for my money, the Z06 and that wonderful 5/100 powertrain warranty make the most sense.

same thing here. I was looking at 03-04 996 turbo's on manhiem for 30-40k also 04 sl55 amg. I just want the warranty in case an issue occurs.
