RE: Ferrari 599 GTB: PH Fleet
Discussion
Well if I was trying to fill my garage with appealing money makers for a while, I'd probably go for good example E30 M3 and a Sierra RS500. Depending on condition and mileage, that might just get rid of the money from the 599. If there was a bit left over, I'd buy a good example Racing Puma and stick hold of that for a few years too.
Or, take another calculated gamble (far less risky though, surely) and buy the M3 GTS in the recent spotted.

Good idea, go and find out what it is like to ride one of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zb1j8FmW74Bike.
Possibly being stupid here, but why wouldn't you try and sell it privately?
If the dealer only gave you a 6k hit then surely you'd have been able to make more than that back from a private seller?
Either way, I don't think 10k over 10 months is too bad for that car! My father in law lost that on his high spec'd E class over a year!

I've just worked out the costs on my 997 GT3 (sold last month) and it was even more expensive! A 2008 model year with 17,780 miles on the clock, purchased from a Porsche Dealer in June 2012, sold privately at the end of April 2013.
Depreciation = £7,575
Tyres (set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cups) £1,280
Oil change service £300
Insurance £705
Tracker subscription £130
Car tax £470
Fuel £620
Total running costs £11,080
I only did 2,250 miles in it - so that's £4.92 per mile!

I am amazed that you bought a car from a dealer and sold it to a dealer and only suffered £6k loss.
In fact, I would like to call the custard test here. I would like to see a Ferrari bought and sold back to a dealer after ten months with this little depreciation on the paperwork.
It makes them just about the most economical sports car out there, either superb marketing from Ferrari or you truly are the worlds best car buyer.
