Well, the F430 has been at the dealer for the last week.  I put it up for sale when things were going real bad but then they got better.  Then I had one last thing to take care of: the F430.  Soooo, I did one more trade and made enough to pay for the whole thing.  So, now nothing to worry about right?  Well, suddenly a buyer appeared at a decent price.  Oh hell, now what.  So now I'm thinking. . . sell it.  The replacement will come in about a year to a year and a half and the numbers are going to go way down on this car.  I recall the 355 and the 360 going down pretty badly.  (I want talk about the 348)  I still can't believe the prices on these 430's going down the toilet.  You realize these things were 100k over MSRP and the 4 year old ones were going over brand new msrp just 10 months ago?!?! (WTF!)  Now 168k for a spyder is a good price when it went for 240k 10 months ago.  That's insane.  Dealer tells me that the brand new 430 is going at MSRP and you can even get the greatest semi mass made car in the world right now (the 599) AT MSRP.  That's freaking sick and in my years of collecting cars, I've never seen that at Ferrari.  Hell even their mistakes went over MSRP (Mondial, 412, old 612).  Anyways, so I'm thinking if it goes for 165 now and I can get it then I should and just bank the 190k I made to buy it and get the new one when it comes out in a year.  Heck, I may try to do another trade and make another 100k and buy a 599 (although I'm not the hugest fan of the looks).  My other option was to get another R8 but I was hoping to get one for a daily driver after I give back this M6.  I thought I'd turn to you guys to hear your thoughts.  Any?

As much as I'm not a Vette fan, I'd be inclined to suggest the ZR1.  Really for no other reason that there won't be another car like it (from the domestics) for some time.   I think it'd hold its value relatively well for what it is.

I never know you had a Z06.  I recommend it for the engine and the way it handles and performs in spite of the Corvette body holding it.

Well, I like the British cars.  My next bet would be the Caterham 7 or the Atom.  If you don't like the Porsche GT-3, that would be the way to go, IMHO.

And of course, the McLaren F1 is the best car sports car ever built.

Since you'll be sitting on it, can I borrow $20 that hasn't touched your ass?

You should grab a GT-R for shites and giggles.

I vote you hit the 'donation' button at the top of the page...

(..someone i know..) has an F360 sitting in their secondary garage because they "don't like it"..

I actually spent part of the day at the Bentley/RR/Porsche/BMW/Audi/Mini dealership today (yes, it's one dealership.. ). They had an F599(?) they just got on trade... the person I was with was all over it, but it didn't interest me in the least. Not sure why.. ferrari's just don't really do it for me.

I think you should go for a GT-R as well. The prices have come back to reality, and if you have (and want) to burn some cash I think it's a nice "in between" car..

Update: Yup. an F599...

I think you have the right idea in that now is not the best time to own an exotic car.  I'd be quite happy with the M6 'vert with it getting warmer and all.
