Good time to buy a 456?

[medieval]

Probably a daft question really but is now the time to buy as prices do seem to be escalating and I dont want to miss the boat (as I have already done with the 308, 308GT4 and the 348 it would seem...tut)

Any advice will be welcomed, kind regards

Knew I should not have asked.........


355chris - somewhat confused by your response

Yes fair question and I think that probably does need more thought as both appeal but for different reasons and if I am honest either would do.

Is it considered bad form to purchase for investment as well as enjoyment ? The car would be used but I would hope to not loose huge amounts over time although as said, they are not cheap to run properly.

It of interest, would the 348 and the 456 have similar running costs, excluding fuel?

Understand what you are saying and not aimed at you and will certainly have a look at your costings.

Not that there is any harm in trying to get on the ladder mind but I am already on the first rung with a carb engined 400 so have some understanding of the combined joy and horrors of the prancing horse marque

It was more a look at what else might be available but there does seem in some quarters to be a degree of sniffiness on this forum for any interest expressed

Kind regards

Thanks Rubystone and impressive car history sir

Was wondering if the V8 would be a better companion but the other half only really likes the look of the 456 and you know at it is like, once you get a green light from management which is rare, you tend to act on it.

Kind regards

Thanks for the positive and useful comments chaps

Have of confess 355chris's comments were somewhat off at a tangent and of little use

Many thanks Mod for a good and sensible insight and thanks to Rubystone , I like your thinking on the V8 approach - she is prepared to part fund it hence the need to tread with care!

I am with you on the green thing as well Benters - all personal taste of course

Ahem, the answer might be yes then.
