One only has to look at resale prices of Maseratis to see what the durability of these cars really is if they were used as actual cars. Hint, they suck.

I was talking to a kid in his mid 20s yesterday about them, the myth is still there and he was surprised that I have zero interest in the new cars, but when I explained to him that a Ferrari from the mid 80s can be serviced at home, it all started to make sense. While modern cars have really moved the technology needle, when they wear out, they’re almost worthless. I got a kick out of this article about an S65 Benz depreciating 98%.


If some irrational person comes into a glossy store front saying shut up and take my money, who am I to complain if the interaction violates PornHubs’ terms and conditions...

Peter agreed
But you have to put it in perspective 
The average Ferrari-Maserati driver does 3K miles per year !
So in retrospect this was a lifetime of miles!
One of the biggest expenses of a Ferrari owner is rotting tires and bad gas in the tank!
I kid you not
And the convertible crowd has to deal with hydraulic rams that lock up because they leave the top down rather than cycling it 
There is a whole cottage industry now in Ferrari rams for the tops!

Ferrari has it made
They sell a product that everyone wants 
They make just under the market so you always have to wait for one
There are only, what 25 Ferrari authorized dealers in the US
The car deprecates just like every other one ( no matter what the sh*t rag FML says)
Maintenace is no longer and issue because they come with a 7 year warranty 
So the dealer can ask what ever he wants for a used one after he has raped the poor dolt for trading it in.
When something does break it’s $185+ for labor and parts quality control of a LEGO set!
I am just glad I can work on my car and have no desire to own any of the new cars.
Still looking to buy a 575, it will happen, they are going back to reality slowly.
There is a guy in NJ selling one at a clyde price, I will wait until it starts to snow and hit him for it.
There is also one in BNA but it’s on consignment and owner is on meth with his pricing.
It’s a 9 owner car, yes and the idiot is asking top dollar, somebody call him at let him know what color the sky is in the real world!

It’s insane  

Currently in St. Barths our of the cold wet weather

This is a common item for 430 
A good friend of mine had one 
Luckily he had it under 30 days and he had the dealer fix it !
The early cars were bombs!
