Check out the 812! A friend of mine just got one here;
it's a splendid Bella Machina!!!

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m having a hard time trying to
find a new Ferrari that I think is good looking. Wasting a V12 in this is
sacrilege. It’s sad that Lamborghini is designing really sexy cars is and
Ferrari is trying to do something which I’m not sure what it is.....

Yeah, I know the perspective and agree with you. 26K is A
LOT of miles for a Ferrari, but really, let’s not kid ourselves here, it is
a car like any other.
Despite the fact it uses a delicate and complex mechanism
to change gears, at it’s heart, this generation of their F1 transmission is
a glorified manual (still uses conventional gears, syncros, shifter forks,
etc). There’s really no excuse for something so major to fail within such a
short period of time.
I may have mentioned this story here before, but at one
of the shows I attend, a 355 F1 drove up and I couldn’t believe how much I
could smell the burning clutch when he drove past... Plus how the car bucked
and jerked when trying to drive slowly. I caught up with the owner later and
he said it was his first Ferrari. Oh boy...
Actually, tire rot is low on the priority list, cam belts
being the topper! Remember, gotta do it every three years or else your
engine will explode! Ha!
I really have no interest in owning a newer Ferrari. I
would’ve considered nothing newer than the 456, but I’ve learned recently
that they can suffer from major corrosion issues, even the pampered
examples. It makes sense as I remember when they were introduced that they
featured a new chassis construction technique that somehow they could weld
the aluminum panels to the steel chassis (instead of just riveting/screwing
or adhesive bonding together). I believe Pininfarina patented the
technique(?). I’ve seen the effects of how aluminum reacts with steel. Yep,
scratched that one off of my list.

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! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2005-ferrari-f430-12/?utm_source=transactionalemail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bat_model_notification
