Between the 3 cars, which one do you think is a better buy?
Both E92 335i & Cayman 2.7 are 2007-2008 model, F10 523i is 2010 model.
E92 335i are auto while Cayman 2.7 & F10 523i is Manual.
E9 335i is 3.0 Twin Turbo 302hp, Cayman is 2.7 NA with 245hp while F10 523i is 3.0 204hp
Price for E92 335 is rm180k-220k, Cayman 2.7 rm220k-240k, F10 523i is rm280k.
E92 seems the best buy in terms of performance & price, parts should not be too hard to get
Cayman looks unique, but parts will be expensive, 2.7 has less road tax.
F10 is newer, bigger, and the 3.0 engine leaves alot of tuning potentials, but still would be better to get 335i just it's a bit older.
So which one you guys think is a better buy? Porsche is a Porsche, it will look unique even if it's 10 years old. E92 335 performance probably able to hold on to itself for another 10 years. F10 is quite expensive and most likely the 3.0 will be outdated pretty soon & require some time & money to tune or even turbo it.
So what you guys think?
Road tax for 3.0 is rm2.2k p.a is high but not as crazy high as 3.5 while 2.7 is rm1.4k p.a.
Really tempted to get the Cayman but worry difficult & expensive to get parts so looking at 335 seems like a good buy, if only it has manual T then no need to consider.
