1) Ferrari is not as organized at supplying technicians with the adequate manuals and repair specifics as Porsche (who is extremely organized).
2) They do break and even when they don't are not cheap to service .
3) The 997tt has depreciated . So has every car just about.
4) Audi is no price package of reliability either. Holding hands with Lambo isn't anything to cartwheel about .
1) I don't even know what this means. adequate manuals?? I know plenty of Ferrari owners - when their car needs work they bring it in and have it fixed. simple as that.
2) Every car breaks. A porsche is more costly to service than a chevy - so what. if you can't afford to maintain the car, then you shouldn't own it.
3) But you're the one who brought up depreciation. i think we're saying the same thing.
4) neither is MB, BMW, etc. If your looking for the ultimate in reliability buy a lexus.
If I were picking one of these cars as a DD then i'd pick the TT.

1) That's because the technicians deal with the drama of not being able to find any explanation so they basically write the manuals themselves .
Not to mention the "it's on a boat from Italy" commonly heard when parts faces the equally frustrating matter of getting things done on time.
The trap w/ depreciation is that it encourages people to confuse the cost of acquisition with the cost of ownership. Owning a used Ferrari at first blush seems equivalent to purchasing a new Porsche, but the cost to maintain and possibly repair the Ferrari, particularly if it is pressed into anything more than weekend duty, can quickly overwhelm the pleasure of driving the car. This happens with any expensive car that can be bought used for a fraction of its original cost. My 380SL is worth no more than $10K tops, but the guy who thinks he can drive an old Mercedes for less than the the price of a new Kia is in for a rude awakening.

As I am just learning my first Porsche ever I have to say compared to hondas, nissans, toyotas and even BMW - Porsche 911 is an engineering marvel, it is unbelievably easy to work on, everything in this car is properly organized and placed wisely. It is possible to work and repair this car with minimal efforts.
I never worked on Ferrari but somehow I do not think it would be in same serviceability class with 911 car. So far 997 car has exceeded my best expectations by far.
