Sweet! I'll bring a nice bottle of Maker's Mark. We'll go for a spin then sit in your garage and sip bourbon and admire the lines and explore details!

[lowyder993s]

Done!

[DonDavis]

Oh, and congrats! Look forward to hearing all about it.

Can we pry just a bit and ask for a ballpark price what something like this costs? Am still drooling...

[lowyder993s]

130k full asking, still under warranty. 14k miles. Was in the market for a 360, but the ones w/ no stories, owners thought the world of them, wouldn't budge off of 95-110k. SOOO much more car for the money. Problem is, they still probably have a year or 18 mos till their prices bottom out. Meanwhile, I'll drive the piss outta the thing.

It would look a LOT more fun sitting in my garage after that drive!

[Ronbo]

Wow, just beautiful!

[McLovin]

Wow, that's a bad azz machine! Esp. with a proper six speed.

Although I'm not sure what you mean by "Problem is, they still probably have a year or 18 mos till their prices bottom out."

It will be a long time before the prices on these late model higher production Ferraris (360/430) bottom out. Like, probably 15 years.

So I wouldn't worry that you bought it too early. Yeah, they will be less expensive to next year. But they'll be even less the year after that, less the year after that, for a long, long time. So if you wait until they bottom out, you'll never get one.

Update your post after you've put a few miles on her, let us know what you think!

[Z-man]

Thanks guys...c'mon Thursday!!!
Test drive the owner whips out a 9mm, just in case of carjackers
Dunno if that was meant for me or not. Ferrari got it right, they put in a schitty stereo...the real symphony is the motor. About the only mod I'd do is high flow cats and exhaust, that'll really make that motor sing!

[vash]

DAMN! i was jealous enough of the new bow!!

SICK

Mind me asking what a guy does for a living to afford all these toys?

[lowyder993s]

Works 60+ hrs a week in a family business, paid off his house ASAP, doesn't live beyond his means, doesn't get divorced and invests wisely...sometimes

You're lucky...you've got time!

[porsche4life]

Hmm... My pops works 80+ a week in a "family" business.... He can't even afford a boxster....

I made a killing on my friends company.

BUT...the other things are true, I take manageable risks.
