No expert, here. But I've asked around a bit on these and here's a few things that I've gleaned.
Best Year? '92's bring the higher dollar. But improvements from '90-'92 were minor. Though one poster in another thread claimed that quality was noticeably improved, this was the only case where I heard this.
Best Price? These cars were hot during the dot.com era. They have softened of late - and are expected to soften further. High 2's to maybe 300k should buy a great one (2-5k miles, straight car, complete records/history, nothing missing, no significant track time). 275k, or even less, might buy same car in a couple of months.
Would discourage against the super low-mileage trailer queens if driving the car is your intention as turbo seals, gaskets, etc. - go bad. These cars were meant to be driven and run better when they have been. |

Wide World of Cars (like 20 mins away from me, just across the NJ-NY border) has a 1990 F40 that is in great condition, but I am unsure of the price. If I go up there soon I will find out what they want and the details of it. |

Shelton sports cars in Ft Lauderdale had a nice F40 for about $305k , it has seen quite a bit of track days but thats what they r for.
Ive heard u can find 1 for $290k or so if u look hard, try the Ferrari Market Letter |
