ferrari 456m

[The Saint 911]

hi all, after reading the various positive/negative comments i have taken the plunge and pick it up tomorrow. Never had a ferrari before so cant wait- any further comments appreciated- Thanks again to all for comments. Having had an Aston im used to the bills. I was looking at a DB7 V12, as an alternative but looks wise i went with the 456.Thanks

Likewise, this model was my first Ferrari. Good luck with it. The world is a very agreeable place when seen from the inside of one of these!

Its Grigio Titanio with black leather- like most ive tried different cars and just to go and see them with an open mind, but to be honest i lost all rational of thinking when i was searching, shes a beauty. It was all the help on here of what to look out for helped me decide, and like with all these cars there are niggles,and can/will be expensive but you find that out from the research- After having tvrs /astons you get used to the niggles, and Before i start getting abused by the tvr/aston brigage i love them as well but we have to face facts- there not german quality!I think they should be driven as from what ive read thats when things can go wrong- ill provide pics as soon as -Cheers

How is the car going?
Was interested in a 456 myself, but the stories kinda put me off a bit

Is it an automatic was it registered on 28/11/98 by any chance?

Whats the spec - auto or manual?
Always fancied a manual Mgt - but there just don't seem to be many about, all you ever see advertised are autos...
