550 - What next ?
Discussion
Hi All, been thinking about selling my 550 for a little while, simply as I don't really use it very much.
Will also be selling my 300sl this summer so tempted to put the two bits of money together and buy something I will use.
I have a 355 as well which I won't be selling so don't need out and out sports car
Only thing I have come up with is a DBS violante but I found it quite cramped.
So what have people gone to after the 550 or similar
Had granturismos but it's feels like a bit of a step back as a fun car.
Any advice welcome
Phil

Phil, I'll put forward the case for the Ferrari 599. I had a 550 for 4 years and loved it, wished I hadn't sold it and subsequently struggled to find something to fill its shoes. I bought a Porsche, considered and test drove quite a few Astons, including the DBS, but the only car I kept returning to again and again was the 599. Then I finally test drove one last week and bought it on the spot. It is sensational in every way; very very fast obviously, and a great sound, but also a beautiful interior and very comfortable when you're not 'on it'. I was completely beguiled by the whole package and in my eyes it's a handsome beast, too. Not missing the 550 so much now! Good luck with the search.

It's still for sale...at least it was last week because I went to look at it. Mileage and condition are very good, but I thought on balance it was perhaps a little expensive for a non-HGTE car.
That's egham for you 😉F12 lovely but probably a bit out of budget
Thanks

Don't think I could bring myself to buy a 612, the depreciation on 4 seat Ferraris terrifies me !

Do you think the 612s still have a way to go before they hit there bottom prices? I think they maybe not to far of.Phib
However going back to your original question, the 599 is an amazing car and at a gret price right now I think.
