thoughts on ferrari 575m

[silverfox_6]

friend of mine who is a car dealer has got one of these going fairly cheap.. just wanted to know the general opinion on them
do u think they look a bit dated???

[zahal]

Nope. Think they are fantastic cars. Owned a 550 and loved it. The 575 is supposedly even better. The depreciation will have been monstrous so you are buying a 160k car for less than half that I guess? Just remember the servicing/running costs aint going to be cheap. Get the fiorano handling pack if poss.

I love my my 575, have just ordered a 599 but even after test driving it and being blown away the 575 is still a brilliant car

My only concern is, why is it cheap?

[Jonny5]

Is it F1 and have the handling pack?

[LittleBro]

IMO they dont look dated at all. I think the 550 and 575 will be a classic in years to come. Love 'em both.

What age/miles colour/spec is it?

[ferrarispider]

Great ferrari them 550s. and really no ferrari dates badly IMO.

wot he said!

both are stunning looking cars. they're easily one of Ferrari's most elegant and graceful designs, that have stood the test of time well and will continue to do so for quite some time yet IMO!
future classics the pair of 'em!

£71k does seem reasonable but the handling of a non FHP car considered to be dire, guess you can only try it and see how you get on with it. You can buy just the suspension ECU which sorts a large chunk of the problem, think it's about £900 though

currently running an 03 manual...
road tests allways mention need for fiorano handling pack.
servicing not what you would call cheap,but car extremely reliable.
(gallardo would probably be just as expensive to run imo)
for me sense of occasion when sitting inside far higher than same
money 360 or gallardo ...on depreciation i think it will never be worth less than 50k
even if you kept it for 5 years...
