R8 ALL THE WAY

It's an amazing car! I would get a white one with A carbon fiber side blade, or a black one with the same side blade. It may not be as fast as the 430 or G, but It drives great, looks out of this world, sounds great, oh and it Looks great! More comfortable interior, better engineering, more reliable, and it looks AMAZING!

I like your style. But I'd take this and an Atom instead.

if the car has that many miles and few issues with a good service history...it will run forever!!!

the cars with very few miles are the ones that you should be concerned about. They dont have a track record, so you never know if it's just a time bomb waiting to go off. They obviously sat in the garage most of the time, the owner would probably fire it up every now and then, take it out on a sunday drive...probably floor the poor car before oil reached proper temp and then put it back in the garage. I would take a well maintain 20K car with no issues over a 3K car with few service intervals, etc. any day.

R8 because its newer and probably less maintenance and more of a daily driver

Good advice.

R8 is a better daily driver. 360 is more "exciting" to drive. Acceleration is similar. However, I would rather have a brand new R8 than a used 360.

The R8 is the better car, but in that price range you could get a porsche that would be much better than the R8. so if you're absolutly limiting your choice between the R8 and 360...definitly get the 360. It wont be as fast but it is the best looking car over 50 grand ever made and is just a blast to drive.

i would get the R8. the 360 is dated. if you pony up a couple more dollars and get a CS then it would be 360 all the way!!!!!!!
