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

[clyderomerof4 (clyderomerof4]

The cars go down in value big time
By the car because you like it and want to drive it not wax it!

And they last longer as well
Ferrari's are no longer money makers
Haven't been since 89 when the ole man died

To many guys treat the car like the SuperModel that never got to sleep with her 
boyfriend, so she slept with someone else!

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?
