If 288s sold for $150k, you'd be all over it....

The 288 was a hyped 308 that's it

But the masses bought into it big time

R&T had a recent issue about the "51 Coolest Cars". They have both the
288GTO and the F40 on the list.  Of course, putting a car on a list and
buying one are 2 different things. Personally I'd prefer the 288GTO or
that 275 GTS RGarven mentioned... yes, I know those are at 2 ends of the
Ferrari spectrum...

Your comments about putting 500K into a depreciating asset are certainly
very valid..

Sincerely,
Larry

The other thing that one has to consider for investment is where is

the market for these cars going?  I would guess that I am in the

"target demographic" for an F40 (wife still says I can get one if I

want one).  But every time I'm ready to pull the checkbook out, I just

can't justify spending $500k+ for something that is realitively

illiquid, has rather large carrying costs (maintenance, insurance,

garage space, etc...) and really can't be used to it's potential on

this side of the pond.  Cars are only worth what someone is willing to

pay for them.  And what do you get?  Bragging rights?  Among who?

Middle aged guys that are trying to justify their garage portfolio

leveraged to the hilt?  Thanks, but I'll pass.  I can appreciate

quality without feeling the need to own it. Anyone hyping anything is

likely trying to sell you something or justify something they've done

to themselves.

And don't kid yourself, this isn't a property ladder game, if you're

"new" to the market, there are a lot of good choices out there for

less money than a 25 year old Ferrari...

   Good point but you really got a want it ,if you know what I mean

   Even if I had Steve Jenkins money I still wouldn't buy a car for

   investment purposes

   Nothing that is reliable from Ferrari is going to be collectible

   in my opinion

   The F50 and all those limited editions runs will soak those who

   bought them dry

   Just look at the Superamerica crowd (based on the 575)

   Couple hundreds cars made , new the car ran $250k plus

   Go on any of the used car sites to include eBay

   They are running around $150k which means the dealer gave them

   $100k if that and they had to buy a car!

   In victory you deserve Champagne

   In defeat you need it!

   You could take the same criteria to buying a 911 or an E-type Jag

   or any number of desirables, but when it comes down to the wire,

   you either pay up now and buy a ridiculously slow, cantankerous,

   unloved and expensive to maintain F40 for a "ridiculous" $200K in

   2000, or you rock your rocking chair on the front porch and see

   buyers paying $1M for the same car a decade later.  I assure you,

   I know.  I have the rocking chair.
