Hey What type of work do you guys do that has given yo the ability to buy a Ferrari?
When your buying is it mostly an emotional buying experience? Or are you just looking to save money?
I have yet to purchase my first Ferrari, but I know that soon I will be doing so and I want to know how it is that you go about buying a Ferrari!
Your input would be great!

 

It takes having your finances in order and educating yourself on what it takes to own one.

Depending on the model, you can buy a Ferrari for as little as $30k. That's the average price of a new Honda or Toyota.

I'm a truck driver and own a 360

 

Pizzeria owner here, I had a 360f1 spyder.

 

You will find mostly entrepreneurs, executives, physicians, and attorneys on this forum. However, as Donjuan said above, it is not about what you make but what you spend.

 

You forgot engineers!
and business owners.
(I am both)

If I had to guess, there are more small business owners around these parts than any other single occupation.

 

i can "afford" a ferrari. why don't i own one? lots of reasons, but mostly because right now there are other more important things for me to do with my money. (i am, however, semi-seriously considering an 2005 F430 F1 coupe i saw recently.)

btw, i work at a non-profit organization which helps meet the needs of blind people.

i think you will find folks from all walks of life who own Ferraris. priorities is what distinguishes the owner from the non-owner.

 

That's neat, sounds like your job is very rewarding helping out blind people!

 

And you have a Ferrari as well?

 

Nice, is your top speed 180? or is that an updated model with more hp?

 

It really has nothing to do with occupation, just interest. I have seen 208/308GT4 for under $25K, as well as Mondials and 308s under $35K. You can buy an excellent Ferrari for the price of a new Accord. The newer (electronic fuel injection) ones can be driven every day so you don't need a "backup" car. A friend drove a 308GTS as his only car and got priority service at the dealer as a result! Owning a classic Ferrari like a Superfast or Lusso is another matter...

 

I mop floors and express internal memos around the office

 

That being the case I'm sure that there are ways that you can get a Ferrari at a good deal and save money...

 

I am an elecrical engineer. Co-founder of the company I work at and help run. IEEE Fellow because of creativity and work I did when I was in my 20s, etc. Bought a new F430 (one of the very last Ferriari's with an M6), really nice Aston, old virgin Sunbeam 260 cid Tiger, and coolest of all, a very nice Vignale bodied '52 Fiat 8V 2-liter coupe. Cars still are an interest and my thing but anymore I am more interested in model trains and art.

 

I seriously considering one as well...

 

Ferraris are cool, but wait until your friends start collecting planes and boats.........that's when it gets expensive!!!
