Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Cheap 612

[Matt Boyd (ferrari308driver]

Hmm, please expound upon your statement that "As with any exotic, the usage costs will come down with age." Thinking of each version of an F1 transmission/shifting design being superceded every couple years, it scares me to think about how things will be repaired decades down the road.

Keep me on the MTL mailing list!

I have a few thousand miles at high-ish North American speeds in a 612 OTO.

A great looking car with a very usable and practical layout. The back seats are real too.

The engine is amazing as are the brakes. Handling is decent even when taking into account the considerable weight. There is a peculiar unsettled feeling to the rear over high speed (90+ mph) bumps.

As with any exotic, the usage costs will come down with age.

Matt, there are three guys that go to Montreal with 612s. Next year, you can drive all of them in one weekend.

I'm a mere mortal, so those service records are both encouraging and discouraging simultaneously. Good things like cam belts and clutch recently replaced, but those price points are something the new owner will encounter later in ownership. I wish I loved working on my cars, but whether I love it or not I can say that I can (and have) replaced cam belts and a clutch on my 308. I don't think I could do that on a 612. Therefore, I'd have to have the cash for those type repairs. Not really whining, it is what it is, I don't fret over what I can't have that others can. That car sure looks nice though, but it makes me cherish my 308 too.

It’s tempting. Wonder what it will actually sell for.
