Ferrari 456 GT

[Higgins23]

I will be purchasing a 456 GT shortly and would appreciate both buying and general ownership advice. The car I will likely purchase has already had both the windows done and the rear shocks replaced. Thanks.

Actually not, the 456 GT is for longer trips on the continent for which I need 2 small backseats, the Chimeara or Lotus is a personal indulgence for regular local and weekend use. I am still looking/considering the later 2 options but leaning more towards the TVR.

[Higgins23]

Yes, that is correct.

Fair question, my experience with super/very high performance cars has been that they all have a lot of issues, and in the first 5-8 years, huge depreciation. Better to find one that has been well taken care of with all the core issues sorted (example Ferrari 456 windows) and at the bottom of the price curve. If you buy new, you get the huge devale on the car, plus all the headaches of sorting it out. Higgins42

Hope not.

Thanks for the advice. I did go through the deatiled history of the car I am purchasing before hand so I have a good idea of the costs related to "the pleasure of ownership". Not for the faint of heart or wallet.
