Exclamation Confused What to get !

So I have been car shopping for a little over a month now and just cant decide what to get I love mercedes but if im going to spend 130,000 Maybe I should get something more exotic you know??
So here is the list that I have made that I have worked prices on in my range .

06 sl55 AMG 131,000
05 or 06 cl 55 100.something
Bentley Continental GT 129.999
or a 97 lambroghini Diablo 102.000

I am keeping my car I just wanted something else to drive for the summer that will turn heads matinence on a lambo sucks and the sl55 is by far my dream car but the bentley is awsome to .?

What do you guys think Pros ....Cons ??? input would be appreciated

^ I agree. If you're going to spend that kind of money, look into something more exotic, especially since you want it to turn heads. You can't really tell the benz's (cl55 from cl500 and sl55 from sl500) apart from a distance, unless you look at the badge. As mentioned, look into some Ferrari's as well

I would get a used SL55 but thats just me. I was driving my friends bentley gt around DC last weekend and it definitely gets alot of attention and it performs better than expected. You cant go wrong with any of the cars you have listed.

Gt !

the bentley has a v12 TT with 580 HP i think, 0-60 in 4.8sec ... thats hot, plus the interior is gorgeous, you really feel the luxury in that car. especially when u get it in black.

if you're really looking for a headturner, look into getting a ferrari or limegreen lamborgini :P with $130,000 i'd probably get the new porsche turbo (HOT!) or the continental GT its so luxurious, there's a reason why every celebrity has one!

I am an AMG enthusiast thru and thru. However that having been said.
ASTON MARTIN either used DB9 or the new baby Aston V8 Vantage.

Its all relative man. Its alot faster than it looks. If it wasnt so heavy it would be a rocket. I like how you can just feel the luxury inside.
