The cost of ownership is killing me. As one of the working poor,
having a Ferrari is
a real struggle. I paid 30K for my gt4 and since then I have spent about 10,000 per year
on jackets, horses, shirts, light up signs and do dads! I just dont know what i am going to
do it this keeps up!

Peter, I paid $29k for our Land Rover two years ago. It's value now is about $15k for a loss, not counting $500 is services, of about $7k per year.
My SL500 was also $29k just under three years ago. Sold it for $12k after investing $6000 in repairs. That's about $8k per year.
I know that is not what you were originally talking about but if one considers total out-of-pocket...a Ferrari that holds its value doesn't look so bad.
As for the 456 vs 550, I have heard nothing but bad about the 456 and nothing but good about the 550. Strange that. Also, look at the value of a 456 versus time and you'll see a chart worse that our stock market! I looked at this because I considered a 456 for a while. Ended up keeping my 308GTB and buying a new M-B C300. Forza uh... Ferrari!
:-P

My 355 is in the process of getting and engine rebuild and a full respray. Once this is done, the car will average costing me just over $10k per year all up.
