Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 456 Vs 550

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hi Gang -
Was looking at the 12/09 issue of Forza and came across a article by M 
Sheehan  about the latest values of Ferrari's.  I have always been 
interested in the 456 and 550 and they show numbers for the 456 between $40k 
& $60k  and the 550 between $75k & $95k.  The author didn't say where the 
numbers came from BTW.

Ignoring the actual numbers for the moment (yes, I know they're not Clyde 
numbers) and look at the ratio - a 456 is roughly 60% of a 550.  Is the 550 
that much better?  or the inverse, is the 456 that much worse?  I know looks 
are subjective but to me the 456 & 550 and equals in the looks department.

Just wondering what the list thinks of these 2 as choices -- IMHO, it 
certainly seems like a 456 at $50k (to use the mid point) is a better buy 
than a 550 at $85k.  But the person who came up with the numbers doesn't 
think so.  I wish this was a pending purchase decision but it's all academic 
for the moment.  ;-)
