My wife and I are in the market for a convertible. Rockville will give me an allocation for a Turbo S Cab. Was thinking Speed Yellow with black spider wheels.

OR

F430 Sypder in Red, but 2007

Turbo S pros - new, fast, and reliable
Turbo S cons - looks like a regular turbo with the exception of S badge, exhaust sounds bland even with aftermarket exhaust

F430 pros - looks sexy, fast enough, sounds awesome
F430 pros - "older" technology in terms of audio system, BT, Nav, etc, older car so not sure when warranty would run out

Thoughts?

 

A 911 Turbo S cab would be nice to drive but I think the Ferrari would be much more enjoyable especially with the top down.
It has the one of the best sound systems located but it is located in the engine bay.
The only down side would having to repair something on it without a warranty. A Ferrari can be very pricy to fix.
That said, I would still go for the F430.

 

Both . His and hers!

 

Don't have the garage space. Looked into getting a lift into my garage like you did, but we'll be moving soon so was not worth the hassle.

The Panamera will really be hers once we decide on the car. The car is really more my idea but she agreed if we get a convertible.

 

Time to build a parking garage.
Considering the worst case when you need to throw in thousands of dollars into F430 and if that doesn't bother you much, F430 gets my vote. Sounds like you need a weekender. I've only heard/read stories about how much it costs to maintain couple year old Ferrari's.
I'd not consider any convertibles except Ferrari for the looks. gl.

 

Tough decision, would the turbo be PDK? Do you still have the Turbo in your avatar? If so my choice would definitely be the 430.

 

100% F430...I am looking for a coupe myself

 

go with the F430. you see a lot less of them on the road.

 

Obviously, if you're not bothered by the potential maintenance/repair costs, F430.

 

I am going way against the grain here alex.......i say go for the 2011 turbo s cab!!!!!! You can't go wrong. You'll mod the hell out of it anyway.

 

Sorry Berk I think I'm gonna go with 430 Spyder. After giving it lots of thoughts, I came to the conclusion that the Turbo S Cab really gives me nothing over the 997T I had with the exception of no top. The Turbo S Cab would require lots of mods to make it look more "sexy" while the 430 is sexy out of the box.

So, 430 hunting here I come.

 

The Turbo S Cab would be PDK and I don't have the 997T on my Avatar anymore.

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO......

I still love ya brother!!!! Looking forward to seeing the 430!!! Didn't you have one before??? Coupe right???

 

plus the 911 would depreciate too much

 

430 all the way, just because you dont see them around, especially if its going to be your weekend car. If yo are buying a ferrari to begin with you have to money to repair it anyway so go for it. Remember the attention your going to get as well, for example going to starbucks for coffee wont be the same anymore, you are going to have people walking around your car and taking pictures, so you have to ask yourself do you want that attention, if so go for it. DONT FORGET about the POLICE......
