nothing against ferrari's, I think you get so much more from Lambo, for the money.
Do you mean the Ferrari-flipper would be subject to a capital-gains tax on any profit he made by flipping the car? That may be (I'm not familiar with US tax law), but sure beats knowing that there is nowhere but straight down as far as values go... and there'd be no need to get a license, as NO ONE could get that many!

I don't really think there's a feud... I know many guys that couldn't decide, so they own both

Lets see some pictures of your "fabulous" interior if you dare?

I have ridden in a 360, have a G and my good friend has a 430 that I'll be driving in two weeks. As others stated, its clearly a Chevy vs Ford mentality. I personally like both brands, but chose Lamborghini because its more my style.

I couldn't agree more. Well said. I think the LP560 is a great car, but the Audi interior is such a turn off to me. I like Audi interiors in Audis, but it's just such turnoff for me in Lambos.

Everyone is looking to get into a 2006 or better due to more power, better gearing, and revised E-gear programming.
So... exactly how many Lamborghinis do you or have you ever owned? How about Ferraris? Have you purchased one of these lately?

What would you consider bad colors and high mileage?

I think a lot of it has to do with ferrari dealers controlling the new car market. Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread. Ferrari makes it very difficult unless you are a long time customer. This leaves a lot of new ferrari customers waiting a long time for a car, allowing ferrari dealers to start off charging a large premium over MSRP. As a result used examples sometimes carry a large premium over MSRP...this would explain the value issues of the two brands.
