The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 has caught my eye as next car. Plenty to choose from under 140K. Anyone here own or spent time in one?

This is the one that caught my eye and plan to check out at some point. Dealer won't budge much on price, but will make concessions on other parts like service or something.

These have always been a front-engined F-car favorite of mine. There are simply no bad angles on that car, just looks good. Period. I’ve heard they’re a treat to drive, also...

I’m sure it’s exactly the Italian GT car you’d expect it to be... Good luck and let us know.

I wonder if a '07 car is just going to drive old. What's it going to drive when it's 15 years old? Will plastics and electronics start giving the ghost? Am I opening Pandora's box? At that price, DB11's are within reach. There's the California or California T that are newer... Those two aren't V12's though.

8 owners in 12 years?!?! Holy cow!

There is no doubt that you pay a premium to buy, and drive, a Ferrari. Whether or not it’s worth it, is not for me to say.

At $140,000 there are a lot of other cars that I would consider.

Car was passed around I guess. If this is the car I like, I would go for one with 1-2 owners, but there aren't so many around to test drive. I don't mind buying a car sight unseen if inspected, but I at least need to have driven the same model before.

Hm judging on other manual supercars it likely is a decent investment as it should hold its value and depending how long you keep it maybe even go up. I also like the look of these and would absolutely buy a Ferrari over an Aston for example given Ferrari's generally hold their value a lot better and I believe are more reliable than Astons or some other brands. # of owners on a car like this doesn't really matter. What matters is if it was maintained and not thrashed as a rental or owned by someone that neglected it or had work done by someone that didn't know what they were doing. The rental thing is really important.

140K I'd get a no options 991.2 GT3 6MT, higher miles 997.2 RS or a 570S. Have fun with the maintenance costs with that thing.

Please tell me where I can find a 991.2 GT3 for $140k. I haven’t seen a new one offered for less than $170k.
