Beautiful car. Was the 4,700 miles worth over $200K+?

 

Not in hind sight, but the Scud would have been a keeper if I didn't have the CGT, too. F430 is a great car!

 

I've seen this car in person several times and it's flawless. It's almost the twin of mine, sans the stripe.

 

you can say that again

 

Thanks for the heart felt empathy. May your life be filled with only foresight and perfect decisions.

 

I paid $60K over when I ordered my 430 Spider in 2007...$344K before tax and license. The car was beautiful, but I didn't like the feel of it, and barely drove it. Sold it 3-1/2 years later for $184K minus dealer commission. So I lost over $160K and only drove it about 2,700 miles. Pretty expensive on a per mile basis. But who cares? You win some, you lose some.

 

Yes, losing some money always hurts -- but you have a great attitude.

I don't think anybody buys cars like these thinking they're economical to own. As least, in my case, the Scud was a blast to drive. My hardest discipline was keeping the miles low for resale and for the Ferraritosi who expect a garage queen. I guess at 4700 miles, I failed, but this car is immaculate and I loved driving it. This may be the best handling car I've ever owned. I wish I could keep them all, but I need to scale back.

 

The "love it but hate to put too many miles on it" thing is a real dilemma. I'm thinking of selling my 2011 458 now even though it's the best car I've ever driven. I could net my purchase price back, which would be nice. I'm buying a 2010 GT3 which I may just drive the "c***" out of for a change.
