Which car do you advise me on getting?

Hi guys, I'm thinking of either getting a second hand porsche Boxster s Edition 2 (Limited edition model- 2008-09) or getting a Mecedes Benz SLK 300.

What do you guys think? or advise..

Thanks

See som people have been telling me the merc is more durable, and that in the long run, it is better than the porsche.

So I am not so sure.

Second hand?!?! Pfft what do these autos say about you? *pukes on thread*Griss_

Yeah, what's he thinking!? Just buy a Yaris because it's NEWWWWWWWW! :roll:

Seriously, we don't even know what the prices are so it could help. Also I'd probably go with the porsche because many mercedez are borderline ugly.

its not bad at all. looks and feels as new. I loved it when I test drove it.

Hasn't gone much, and it was used by the local porsche dealership manager.

Besides, its the limited edition (Porsche design edition 2) Boxster S.

Its just that people have been telling me the merc might be better in the long run.

If you want the Porsche then get the Porsche. I'd rather enjoy myself in a car than keep worrying about damaging it and whatever.

Im going for the porsche 70%

The only thing is that as I mentioned, some guys told me the liveability of the merc is more, so it will be better for me in the long run.

The prices arent a big deal and the new merc is more expensive than the porsche

I would recommend you theMecedes Benz SLK 300.

Well your profile says you're in university. So get a sensible car that's good on gas and isn't too flashy. It's odd that you make this thread right now, I was just watching on the news that a bunch of university students near where I live are all upset because expensive cars are commonly vandalized and broken into on their campus.XilePrincess

That has never happened over here, its like a private uni, but I have never heard anything happen to cars over here.

I was just wondering which one of either cars had better quality and such

I vote Camaro Z28, you can pick the year.

yeah well I'll get the same paranoia when choosing the merc too, since its new and all :roll:

Before buying either of these cars you should keep in mind that they will have repair costs higher than economic cars in the same price range. I've seen a lot of people buy these types of cars assuming the repairs will be the same as their previous cars (or not even consider the repairs). Then when something goes wrong they can't afford it.

Well TC, what car would you like?

Well Im wondering about it.

I am aware of repair costs and parts etc..
I have taken that into consideration.

Both cars have fine looks imo, so I they have passed that.
Porsche has a slightly better performance and handling, yet the SLK might be cheaper to maintain.
Though I saw at least 3 SLKs today, and I don't know. Hmm..

The porsche did feel nice/smooth and energetic when driving. The Slk was more business like and serious.

I am sure that both cars have a good life span.

Hmm.. I wonder

I would go for the Mercedes. Some people see Porsches as girl cars.

thing is, some see the merc slk as a girls car too. Now me, Ive seen both genders drive them (Slks and Posrche)

They are both solid choices, it just rounds up to what you feel is more 'your style'.

I would definitely take the SLK over a Porsche

interesting opinions

Porsches are much more sturdily built (overall) than Mercedes. But a the Mercedes will have more upper class status than the Porsche, if that matters. I'd never get a Mercedes though, because most people who drive them get them mostly for their status and are asses.

EDIT: The SLK is also a very girly Mercedes, usually 20 something year old who has a rich daddy.

Alright, thanks guys. I'm affraid I have reached my final decision.
Thanks again :)
