How crazy would I be to buy an F40?

[cashmax]

I am in the fortunate position of having a spare £500K.

All my life an F40 has been the car I would ask for if I could have anything I wanted. I am now in a position where I could make it a reality.

I could do something sensible with the cash, but you only live once and I thought that if I find one with the fuel bags done and the belts recently changed I could own an F40 for a year or so without loosing a complete fortune.

Am I mad?

Spend money on the most hideous, ugly and horrible ferrari ever made?

Go for it.

What a lucky man, go for it, you only live once. Can I have a go?....

Can't see them depreciating, unless you drive it.

Probably, the prices of these have risen quite a bit in the last few years, but they probably won't go down abruptly in the next two years >gazes into crystal ball<

Do it - please do it.
If I had the means I'd snap one up in a heartbeat. The archetypal supercar in my opinion - one that still requires the driver to be the central tenet in extracting the performance.

Plus it's an investment.

Please do it.

Do it. Do it. Do it.

That is all.

Do it.

Can I come with you to buy it?

Tom Hartley has two for sale.

Are you really the king?

Splash the luv

[epom]

Safer than investing it in shares or anything like that... do it !!

[fatboy69]

Simple answer to your question is BUY ONE & then repost here saying 'look what i just bought.....'

No craziness involved at all. It is the best supercar out there. Bar none.

Buy an F40, drive an F40, be very very happy with an F40 in the garage. I know how happy i would be.

Not mad. Perfectly sensible.

If we prepare a chart of the value of the F40, it suggests that things go up, and also down (like stock markets) - even without taking into account the real value of money.

if I had 5 million spare, i'd buy the F40 at £500k.

Any other cars you fancy?

[MissChief]

Buy it. And then picture. With Custard. Without custard you're just trolling.

[cashmax]

There is NO WAY that I won't drive it. I want to do a European trip and some UK trackdays. Prepared to spend what it takes to keep it together, but the confusing thing for me is understanding the prices. There is one in the classifieds for 499 that just sold! others are at 300-350 mark. What is so special about the 499 one??

I'm a bit of an F40 guru, I'll happily come with you for a test drive and drive it for you. Give me a PM. Please. Please, please, please.
