should I buy a 599 ...any help would be much appreciated

[michael gould]

At present I own a DB9 and an Audi S8 but have decided its probably time to change the DB9 .......looking at 08 cars with 30k ish miles ...... apart from the obvious what should I look out for ? Prices for 599 and 612 seem to have hardened considerably in the past 12-18 months and industry opinion is prices will head north just as they have with 550 and 575........any thoughts or recommendations would be very much appreciated

Thanks everybody .....not much on the market at present at 100k apart from "high number of owner" cars

Many congrats on the new purchase. Grigio Silverstone is a great colour on the 599. Enjoy collection day. The first time you put your foot down in 2nd/3rd gear in a 599 is one of life's special little moments. I remember collecting mine from Dick Lovett on a bright, sunny February day two years ago. I smiled so much, I think my face was actually aching by the end of the day!

Thank you that’s a lovely post.....pick up day tomorrow......nice and steady for the 130 miles home ....

Well my new 599GTB is home ......holy sh*t is it quick .....my DB9 is quick and my Audi S8 is very very quick but the Ferrari is ludicrous........after 140 mile drive home I’ve got the hang of the F1 box ....much smoother gear changes by dropping off the accelerator between shifts .......I shall enjoy showing it off tomorrow.......may thanks for all your kind words
