F430 or Murcielago. Help decide

Hey guys,

I'm in the market for either of these two cars.
Here they are:

1. 2005 F430 Spider F1
Yellow w/ black interior yellow stitching
6000 miles - $150K

2. 2006 Murcielago Roadster
Yellow w/black interior yellow stitching
3000 miles - $180K

Help make up my mind! I'm going crazy hereee
Both of them are equally tempting.
Why is one better/worse than the other?
This will mainly be a weekend car.

Lucky.

Well what do you want? You already have the AWD w/ the GTR, and the RWD w/ the GT2. For wow factor I'd have to give it to the Murcielago, and that interior sounds very tempting.

For fun I'd go w/ the Ferrari. Even though I've never driven one, let alone been in one, I can still imagine how fun the Ferrari would be w/ those paddles and the RWD.

Tough choice. Me personally I'd go with the Murcielago, much rarer than an F430, lower miles, and it's a later model car. Good luck both will be amazing.

I cheer Lambo..... ha ha ha. Because Murce is more powerful than f430. You will have an extreme excotic car.

You will be a lot more comfortable driving in the F430, and its easier to drive.

The Murci wins in the looks dept, but its not the most comfortable car to drive......its like you are sitting in a hole. The seats in the Murci are not that great and offer no lateral support.

I personally would go for the 430 because I base my choices on what the car can do....not what the car is.

Good luck on your decision! Its a tough one!

on perspective of both cars they are both great...though in my opinion the murci is a higher level than the Ferrari.....im a huge ferrari guy but the lambo has its ways too.......i kno getting the top off the murci roadster isnt the easiest thing to do (helped out my friend when he first got his) the ferrari is easier to put the top down.......lambo is awd and 430 is rwd its all up to u and what your taste is...(personally i liked driving in the lambo more) hope this helps good luck with your desiction

FYI,
I test drove an F430 Spider today, and didn't find it quite interesting.
To be honest, I'd rather buy a 997 GT2 than an F430. 997 GT2 must be crazyy...
I'm going to see the Lambo tomorrow and see what happens
Thanks for the input guys.
