This is the difference between boys and men. From your car list Mens cars 599 is one of them it is the mac daddy the other Ferraris even if they always handled better were more the mainstream then the 550,575,599 so me personally stick with the 599.

Note nothing at all wrong with the 360-430-458 series I just think the 599 is it, Actually surprised with all the crazy cars here we don't see a lot of them belonging to members.

Stick with the 599, I would never trade in the 599 for anything except if it was the 599 GTO...That is it!!!!

Front engine V12 = Classic Ferrari. They are different cars for different people. I suppose it depends on what suits you. If I were in your shoes, I would add the Italia to the stable!

Image aside -

599 is a fast cruiser and the 458 is more of a plaything. What you want the car for?

speaking of 599's, their value took such a hit.
Now they're around $210-250K from $400K a couple years ago.

I'd keep the 599 though.

Question for the OP: I've always wondered. What is maintenance like on the 599? Cheaper or more expensive than the mid-engine Ferraris?

Personally I would trade a 599 only for 599 GTO.

it seems like most of the opinions here would be to stick with the 599. it is always nice to have the newest toys coming out, but there is always a price to be paid. I have looked at the 599 GTO, but that will most like be closer to $260K more. i heard they were making 599 copies. Not sure if that is too many at $500K and i'm not sure how they will hold their value. The reality is, i could probably get $240K for my 599GTB, but what would i replace it with? There really is nothing in that price range i could get. That why the 458 intrigued me.
