Ferrari Mailing List: Re: After-action report on 2007 F430

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hi Guys -
   As others mentioned, this is a great thread - and I suspect *all* of you 
have more $$s to spend on something like a Ferrari that I do - with me it's 
just a dream until I find a way to make more money, but it's a *great* 
thread! -

   Anyway, none of you have mentioned the depreciation involved (at least I 
don't recall anyone mentioning it) - perhaps a new Ferrari doesn't always 
*de*preciate and I've heard of some appreciating after the sale.

   But some of you mentioned buying new, non-Ferrari's at dealerships. 
Doesn't the depreciation hit prevent taking the dealer option?  I know I've 
talked about it so much my wife would never consider a new car - opting for 
a 1-3 year old one instead.  I've bought 2 new cars in my life - a 71 Beetle 
and a 78 Fairmont.  Both lost money when I signed the contract...

Thoughts?
