--- Begin Message ---There is little doubt that exotic cars deteriorate rapidly if they are not properly maintained.

I guess good things do come to those who wait...

Failure is anywhere from 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Radiator failure is common (they are plastic and aluminum) between 40,000 and 60,000.

I beat the sh*t out of me E36M3 for 60K and these parts were a non issue... If I'm laying out 10X the price for a Ferrari, I'd like to have some fun in it for a while before the money sinkhole opens up. Here's a question for you guys, does a $225K car come with a higher expectation in the quality of the parts. I think so! It will be interesting to are this same article in a few years but on the 599...
