Bad Decision? Might trade TTs for Gaylardo...

hi everyone... i am thinking about trading in my Turbo S for a Gaylardo... anyone have any thoughts about this? should i keep my Turbo? i have about 3000km on it right now and from the whole sale point of view i am not loosing much... but i am scared that if i don't sell it in the current year the car will go deep down hill... and i am sure that Gaylardo keeps much better value than my Turbo any thoughts on this? i am even considering a 360 Spider or Aston Martin DB9... which will be the better and whiser decision here? i really do need help...

thanx alot in advace!

if u're worry about the resale value of the TTS don't do it. if u really like the Gallardo then do it. u'll be up side down no matter what so do it only u love another car more. looks like u have many other rides so u probably don't have to worry about putting miles on it. just keep in mind that Turbo is only car u don't need to be afraid putting miles in the true sports car market.

Lucent thats thanx for you opinion and you are right the Turbo is the best daily... i drove the heck out of my 03 and now with this Black one i kinda let it sit and drove the Cayenne... but to tell you the truth i really like the Gallardo and the Aston Martin... is just that i had enough with speed now i want some PIMP lol i mean i just want something that stands out abit because there are so many TT on the street here too is just kind of boring... want something alittle more exotic... you think i should go with the Gallardo? do it drive better than the TT in any way? maybe some current owners can barge in and share some opinions? thanx in advace!

If u sell ur tt... u will loose at least 15K off the sticker. I bought and sold extotics for ferrari to lambo to H1 to etc. all in two years.. about 9 cars al in all... and counted almost $130K in Loss due to trade in ...
I got smart... If u r scared of having an exotic car cause of value loss... then maybe u should by a house instead. Hwat I mean, we dont buy these cars and worry about resale value... if we did.... then we wouldnt have any fun. I have those who have exotics and keep them in the garage for there neighbors to enjoy. I had a Lambo roasdter VT for 6 months and put on 8 K miles. most lambos dont have that many miles through out there life span. I traded it in and took a hit of $35K.
But I dont care cause I enjoyed $35K of it... not lost it.
that my take.
