Hey guys

Just wondering if any of you have ever driven a F40 or been in one? Its my favorite car and I'm very tempted to sell my 360 for a F40, they have also kept their value so well over the years I feel like its a decent investment (even though I'll drive the crap out of it )

 

i have no first hand experience in one, but i would imagine that if you really want to drive it a lot it is not a good choice. My guess is that it needs a lot of maintenance and is expensive to maintain. Also it will drop significantly in value if you put some real miles on it.

Try Ferrarichat, you'll probably be able to get some real answers on there.

 

I cant stand ferrrarichat, so many guys on there that dont own ferrari's but think they do. This is by far the best board

 

If you are looking for one, a fiend of mine in Scottsdale has a very nice F40 for sale. PM me if you want his information.

 

what do they go for? low 300s?

 

The collection sold one for 450K, about 6 months ago it had less than 3K kilometers.

 

i was told that the market price for a non LM one with good mileage is aroudn 275K - 300K

 

just sat in one, I kid I played little league with father had one parked in their family room


mad pimp

 

Ive driven one. Very bad-***. My favorite Ferrari. Only one worth owning inmo. Very harsh though, crappy build quality, but extremely fun. EXTREMELY costly to maintain.

 

your right in terms of costly to maintain and extremely fun....but its meant to do one thing...go faster than what humans are meant to go...and i will sacrifice build quality and harsh ride for that

 

It was fast. not extremely fast, but fast, what i loved were the brakes, and the grip. I drove it around Moroso in Palm Beach. Never forget it. Inmo though, its not worth the money they are asking these days.

 

it's not really that fast compared to any of the new supercars

 

I think its more of a childhood thing, I've seen them with 4k on them for around 320.

Right now I'm playing with the idea, I think its because everyone keeps talking about the CGT and how its their dream car, its making me want to get my dream car

I've heard the build quality is questionable, but I've heard its one of the best cars to drive.

Todd, I'm going to think on it, but Ill definatly let you know if I get more information about the car in general

 

When you say it's build quality is questionable, are you referring to the car's fit and finish or material quality?

 

Fit and finish.
