PORSCHE PANAMERA TURBO LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO SL600 E55 BRABUS*SOLD*
Which car?

I was thinking real hard about an 07 Mystic White S600 in the hi 60's.
I might have to rethink if I can buy a new 09 S550 for under 80k!!

Test drive both, possibly back-to-back.
Then, hold on to your jaw (dropping to the floor)
Obvious choice.

Unless the mileage is way high, I'd go with the S600. How many miles are on this car, color?,

S600

It will likely just cost 10k/year depreciation.
The 09 S550 will drop 20k first year even with discount, then settle to 10k/yr.

In addition in 2-3 years the 550 will be a dime a dozen with plenty of supply and limited demand. There are always a good contingent of people looking for the exclusivity/performance/potential for modification of the bi-turbo V-12.

Lastly do you want to tell your buddies you just bought an S class or V-12 bi-turbo S class?

No contest. Unless Warranty is a huge huge issue to you, 600 wins by a giant landslide.
