Should I take the plunge? The Ferrari 458 has long been a dream drive for me having once been very lucky to borrow one for the day.

Now - amazingly, I'm able to buy one, the wife has even ok'd the idea! Whats putting me off? - well, am I right in thinking that the prices seem to be actually going up! does this mean that prices will keep going up or will they suddenly come crashing down ? has anyone kept a track of these prices. I'd also welcome any owners experiences, good or bad!

Some superbly thoughtful and thought provoking comments here, it’s great to here these views. I remember the classic car bubble bursting in the late 1990's with a slow increase in values until the next crash of 2008. There may be signs of an impending burst very soon however I’m not sure the conditions are quite the same now as there is a lot more money floating around these days - but who knows.

However, hearing great comments like “you can always make more money, you can't make more time” and “buy what you really want to” , has sent me straight back to autotrader. I can still remember the sound of that howling Ferrari V8! I will post pictures if / when I stop the “speculative hand-wringing over depreciation” and go out and buy my 458.
