As many of you, I watch the market more as a fantasy than in any real hope of acquiring one. I've also noticed that the 430 seems to be the "sweet spot", and acknowledged as a relatively "reliable" and "affordable" compromise.
I do remember, however, one that caught my eye last summer. The price was very reasonable. Reading through the ad, however, what really struck me was "$40,000 in recent maintenance". I'm sure the seller saw that as a major selling point, indicating it needed nothing. To me, however, the mere thought that one could spend that much on "maintenance" was horribly depressing. Totally out of my league. Not just the cost, but the frequency with which one would be presented with the opportunity to spend that much on "maintenance". By all accounts, from what I gather, 20,000 miles is considered a "very high mileage" Ferrari. Hell, I put that on my 911 almost every year, and have for darn near 20 years at this point.
