• It's getting a bit salty in here...

    Specs aren't far off what I would take but there are a few missing. Apart from that, I'd be on a 3 year lease, not 4 at a minimum of 12k miles.

    I've not negotiated anything yet and as I've set a budget of £550, I may go for hire purchase over pcp anyway.

    So far only @NurseHolliday has really answered properly; everyone else seems so concerned with my money rather than my question.

    Quatraporte is definitely a contender. Anyone have a clue on what to look for? Good options / bad signs etc.

  • Apologies, I did feel like I was being a bit over salty but didn't mean to offend. Especially re: money, it's obviously everyone's personal choice and I'm just a little jealous, and also feel like at that budget you should just buy a 911 but it doesn't fit what you actually want which doesn't help.

    Anyway, the Quattroporte with the Ferrari flat plane crank V8 would be amazing and sound immense, but a 4 door M3 a couple of years old would be a much nicer proposition than a 430d x drive. BMW do strong finance deals on used cars too.

    Don't not back down now, you've nearly convinced him to buy a Masserati. Keep the pressure on, he'll thank you in the end.
