what would you do?

For the first time in my life, I have enough stashed away for the car of my boyhood dreams. a Ferrari. But with the 430 around the corner, I just know I'll be bored with the 360 in a year or two and also take a big hit on depreciation. But since I am not on any Ferrari dealers VIP list so my wait for the 430 will probably another 2-3 years?

What would you do. wait because it's a more sensible thing to do? or just pull the trigger on the 360 just to realize a dream and forget what resell will be like in a couple of years?

Challenge Stradale or F430. Just for the technical advances in both. But the 360 can be had at a bargain price, even now.
With a connection, it appears you can get a 430 as well.

thinking about a low mile CS. someone local is offering a 900 mile one for 205, will take a look at it this weekend.

still hestitating. I think my C4 Cab is holding me back more then anything. did'nt know how to answer my wife when she asked me last week " what do you need with a Porsche AND a Ferrari."

Women: They'll never understand.

YES - Ben, are you selling it or having someone sell if for you. I believe yours is SG or something close. How many miles and how much are you asking?

LOL. 280K. No thank you. Not only do I have to justify a Porsche & a Ferrari to my wife, I have to Justify why I gave away a Mercedez.

peter, they'll never understand, just like we'll never understand why they need more than one necklace for their single neck, more than one bracelet for the single arm they wear it on, more than one ring for any certain finger, etc. it's just a boy/girl thing
