In a quandary!

[norwoodboy]

Having recently retired early i am looking at a second car (Toy really) i am looking at either E63 or E63S , is there much difference? or a Nissan GTR.
This would be a used car purchase wondered if anyone had any thoughts?

Cheers

You don't say what you intend to do with the new car or what you expect from it ?

Well I am going to be shot down in flames here as this is a MB forum but if your budget permits and it is just a very fast toy you are looking for without comfort/practicality then I would go GTR.

If however you want it for practicality and comfort as well, then either MB will suit you well and I am sure you will get loads of advice from the many owners on here.

Thanks Guys,

It would be used as a second car for messing around in really i will keep my e350 for the more normal type of stuff ie. shopping etc, not a mid life crisis i hope more of having worked hard for some time just want to spoil myself now.

I refer you to my previous comment then

You're a very very very long time dead which is why I bought a 911 - I'd have another in a heartbeat (as well as the rest of the fleet natch)

If I was buying an E63, I would not be keeping the e350 as well, I doubt I would ever want to drive the e350 again. You can drive the 63 to the shops no problem. You can also drive the GTR to the shops. If you want fun and are thinking of the two, you could join a GTR owners club and take it on track days.
