I don't really like the look of the LC500. I never seen one in person but it looks like a isx50 elongated coupe. The interior is amazing though and wish I could see one in person.

Will do! Thanks

Don't like the look of the lc500 but might change when I see one in person


For what reason? Performance/looks or both? Around here the c63 amg is rare, along with the RC-F. I love the look of the c63amg but was wondering if the two were in the same class.

Didn't know Porsche was up there in reliability, guess I have learn something new! What do you think about the 911 Carrera. Would you get either a cayman or a 911 instead of the RC-F?

 

Cayman is prob one of the best handling, most predictable cars on the planet!
hard to go wrong with Porsche pedigree and mid engine balance.
Budget will usually constrain most buyers. Do you need the vestigial rear seat? There are many reasons to buy a certain car, what are your main ones?

 

My goal is to go for a luxury coupe that sounds nice. I don't think I will be using my rear seats. I currently drive a 2009 is350 and no one has ever ridden in the back of the seats lol. This is why I kind of want to get a coupe. The cayman is nice but I do not know much about cars except for Lexus. I have done some research on cayman and many people are not pulling the trigger on the vehicle due to the engine change from a v6 to a v4? What would you get? RC-F or cayman, to me they both look nice.

 

I was approved for the loan on a 981 Cayman S when I bailed and picked up my RC F. The 981 Cayman S has the same flat 6 that the 911 has. It's just tuned down. The engine is also not at the very rear like the 911, it's a mid-engine design. Obviously, if you were to pick up a 981 it would be used. They were produced 2012-2016 (I was looking at a 2016). It is a true track car. I also wouldn't want a 4 cylinder.

It depends on what you plan to do with it. The Lexus has more luxuries. The Cayman will beat the RC F at the track. The RC F has more room for storage (one reason I changed my mind). With aftermarket exhaust, the RC F makes a sound that the Cayman can't touch. You can't beat a V8 for sound. If you plan to put a lot of miles on the car then you don't want a Porsche if you ever plan to sell it.

 

C63 AMG has my vote over both the rcf and Maserati. You won't be getting the "sound" you are looking for in an rcf unless you add an aftermarket exhaust.

 

Not sure if this helps...
I actually looked at a used grand turismo and a used gtr before I decided on the rcf.

The maserati was absolutely stunningly beautiful but I was nervous about the operating costs going forward. I knew two people that have Ferraris and their maintenance cost was outrageous. Plus price was like 20k higher than rcf. But now that I'm 20k in mods, I wonder if I should have bought the grand turismo...

Ruled out gtr since all the ones in the 70-80 range were all high miles and out of warranty. Not buying all that electronics without warranty.

I have owed an Audi A4 and had lots of trouble with it. Not sure what the R8 is like reliability wise. Unless you're gonna buy a new one or with lots of warranty left, I would pass.

I chose the rcf because it looks good, has good enough performance, rare enough to stand out, reliable, and not make me car poor.
Make not an impulsive decision !

 

Summed up nicely. The RC-F can hold a full set of golf clubs! Another thing to consider for total cost of ownership is insurance. Compare rates.

 

If you can afford either new, definitely the Maserati GT. That is a great car and I know people that drive the wheels off them without major issues. Plus, it is under warranty and does Maserati have a maintenance plan like Ferrari for original owners purchasing new?

 

Yes, they do....
The maintenance plan for a Granturismo is pretty simply. You only supposed to get the car service once a year. Unless you’re driving like a maniac.https://www.rusnakmaserati.com/maserati-service.htm
It’s not cheap. But you don’t have to get the entire maintenance plan done. For example the dealer told me last year all I needed was an oil change.

 

Yeah if you can afford the maserati, I'd go for that... It's a maserati haha.
