meshmesh Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I'd like some opinions please :confused: will all the tossers lately in trying to source am R34 GTR, we're sort leaning towards a "so called" equivalent eg: coupe, comfortable 4seater, has some presence...blah blah blah. The only thing we could think of is a CL500, but after speaking to a few mates, they reckon its an old mans car .??? But after slapping on some 19/20" inch brabus wheels will it still look like an old mans car?

siksII Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 sorry to say, it is an old mans car out of the merc range, i would take an SL65/55 AMG anyday. that has to be on the best looking big convertibles ever, a beast! AND faster than a 911 turbo convertible (might come in handy) although, if i were after something with room/boot, i would choose an E55 AMG. if only they offered manuals eh Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/53036-opinions-is-this-an-old-mans-car/#findComment-1042344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
martydaman Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 its not an old mans car... its an old rich bastards car... but if you dont keep it stock i dont see why it would still be classified as one Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/53036-opinions-is-this-an-old-mans-car/#findComment-1042348 Share on other sites More sharing options...

siksII Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 it also looks like one of those mercs that suffer from massive depreciation (relatively faster than the other expensive models anyway) just get an r34, go to japan and pick one Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/53036-opinions-is-this-an-old-mans-car/#findComment-1042356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
meshmesh Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Bass that's a classic line. , but I've just turned 30 and the bro is 33.. so dunno if we are classified old - though sometimes I feel it. sikII (an E55 you reckon.. hmmm now there's a nice car ), you're right about depreciation, the only reason we really thought about it, is because a dealer we know may have one, at a pretty good price.

JezR31 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 They dont look so bad if you throw abit of money at them, but stock they dont really draw attention because of the paint colours mercedes used, to me they just look like any other Mercedes Benz id see in the city. The rims are 11x20 ET36 and the tires are 285/25, front wheels are 10x20 ET36, 255/30 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/53036-opinions-is-this-an-old-mans-car/#findComment-1042406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dojobi Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 That LARS K one looks damn nice, but I certainly wouldn't be paying that much money for a SOHC engine. I haven't been in one, but I do hear they go quite nicely. I'd still take the R34 though. Kind of off topic, but it involves luxury cars. My dream car is a Toyota Aristo V300 Vertex Edition (Lexus GS300 with a VVTi 2JZ-GTE). I was considering buying a locally delivered GS300 and dropping the V300 engine in, but it was a bit out of my price range. It's not a coupe though, so it's not really what you're after. I'm not too sure why I even mentioned it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/53036-opinions-is-this-an-old-mans-car/#findComment-1042493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
