My friends dealer told him that the owner of a sports team offered $550,000 for a 6 speed and couldn't get it.

Ferrari keeps their prices high by having an 18 month wait (low production). Used F430 Spyders are selling for much more than new. F cars do take a big hit for anything more than low mileage.

I'm a Porsche guy but I wish they did not depreciate so much.

 

I've driven them both. The 430 spyder is a great convertible but the 599 is allot more car.

 

No way, Jose! Cars probably should be compared mostly based on price but when you get into true supercar territory, it's difficult to find good matches (CGT & M-B McL is one). The 599 is not and will not be considered supercars like the others no matter how good it is. Give it some time and it will come back to earth unless Ferrari really limits production to give an inflated sense of the true market. They are trying really hard to make their 12-cylinder cars have the same market appeal and staying power as the 8-cylinder cars have. It didn't work with the 456, 550, 575, 612 and now they are trying to make the 599 work. Buyers with the "I don't give a f!@k how much it costs I want it" stance aren't going to be around for long, especially at the over sticker numbers going on right now. Nice car and worth sticker maybe.

 

Jamie,

get the 599GTB at msrp if you are offered one...trust me on this one.

 

I know what you mean. Motorcars International in Missouri regularly sells 599GTB's for 510k, no joke.

 

Jas,
i would hold off on it although Ferrari is not making too many of them. never know what's gonna happen to the V12 but the 550/575 are not doing so well in the used market. paying nearly 500k for it is insane. behind the wheel it doesn't feel like a 500k car. not even close.

 

Arling, I have no intention of spending 500k on it, I think you misunderstood me. In fact, I would not pay over msrp for anything, but thats just me !

I think the 599GTB is an outstanding piece of kit...but I would not pay a dime over.

I agree with you on the 575 completely...they are coming down steadily, and thats the one to nab for a good price with low miles down the road.

hope everything is good man

 

i know. and i know u wouldn't pay over for it. i'm just saying even at sticker price it would be interesting to see its value after few years. their big V12 cruisers have never done well before. i for one is not crazy about the ''Enzo engine'' selling point.

 

Jamie - I thought all 599s for production run were already sold?

 

it's just an italian 928.

 

Only if I thought I could get in and out without getting hurt. Can't afford both cars and I'm pretty sure the CGT is the keeper.

 

DO NOT SELL THE CARRERA GT!

I hope I was clear!

 

I doubt they will make a 599 spider for whoever said he'd rather that above....

 

They have already reserved the tm 'Ferrari GT California'. I'll bet you a case of beer we see a 599 spider within 24 months.

 

And we think GT3 RS's going for $190,000 is nuts.
Speaking of GT3's it sounds like your liking it allot.
