A buddy of mine is looking at getting something fun again. His budget is $125k but would consider spending more for the right car. I'm trying to convince him to spend a little more for the GT3 but, for the money, I'm finding it hard to argue against the F-type R.
Personally, I feel resale value alone (traditionally) for the GT3 would be enough to make the case for the Porsche but wanted to get some opinions from any of you that may have more intimate experience with either of these machines.
In light of the engine recall on the GT3, do you guys feel resale value will still be as strong as it has been in the past for the GT cars? Are there any issues with the GT3 that would make you apprehensive to the idea of driving one on a daily basis? Is there a significant cost disparity for maintenance between these two cars?
The simple economics of it are making the Jaguar very attractive up front but I'm curious if after 2-3 years he won't be wishing he had shelled out the extra cash for a GT3.
