One thing about cLyde, it's always so hard to figure out what his exact thoughts are on a subject; he hides them so well...

The 550/575 was and still is Ferraris Stealth Uber car, fast but doesn't look fast!

It kills it pray unseen

That crowd you speak of goes for flash and no class!

There is no flash on the 550/575 in fact if you took the prancing horses off the fenders you would not know it was a Ferrari 

We like it that way

That crowd that you seem to be enamored with goes to your beloved Viper and  shit box GTR and turbo 4 cylinder rat cars with oversized exhaust pipes that make more noise than horse power

Just like the Nissan GTR?

 

The 550/575 was the first of the Ferraris meant to be as usable as the NSX...made for the gold chain crowd and Porsche owners?

 

Rest assured Clyde, you have the last engaging 12 cyl from Ferrari and a true vintage old school legend !!!

I like the 550 but a bit boring and looks are a B+.

 

 

Maintenance/repairs will likely be much higher too.

Aston Martin is the Peugeot of British cars or maybe the Citroen of British cars

The small stuff will bite you 

There is a saying about these cars

 

Just because it looks to you

Doesn't mean it will be good for you!

 

Check the price of water pumps, window regulators, turn signal lenses you get the idea because they didn't make many of these dreadnoughts for a reason

 

Like I always say 

It's your money

Better value in a Ferrari 550 6 speed manual 

A 575 6 speed if you can find one ( very rare)

Buy it for $50k throw a service on it, buy the silicon hose kit, do the coolant yearly along with the brake clutch fluid

Put away some money for a spare clutch and throw out bearing and brake pads 

Drive the paint off it 

 

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!

I can fit into just about anything and rarely have run into that problem.

 

Clyde, I haven't heard of anything big or expensive as needing replacement. The engine was properly engineered so it has timing chains. The coils sometimes go bad, but they are $59/each Jag parts.

 

Most of the parts cross to other marques and are pretty cheap.

 

The driveline is robust too.


There are some carbon fiber interior bits that oxidize and need replacement.

 

And, as with our beloved Ferrari, we know that interior quality rarely predicts the quality of the rest of the car.

 

The V12 sound is amazing and the brakes are supposed to be pretty impressive. Euro style, 186mph and what seems like straightforward maintenance sounds intriguing.

 

Maybe a Vanquish S also? I know CG can chime in with his overall experiences there.

Anyone own a DB7 Vantage?

 

They look pretty nice and potentially easy to maintain.

 

I'd like to hear some thoughts or insight.

 

Thanks,

LS
