I'm with Rob, my goal is MORE Ferraris, not trading to a better one. I already have a 6 car garage designed in my mind at my current house. | ||

Don't sell the Mondial and buy the BBi. I can't afford it right now, but my goal is to never sell a Ferrari in my life. | ||

Tom; Talk to Bryan before you make you final purchase. One of his customers bought the Boxer from WWoC a few months ago, and it is still not on the road with some issues. Just as an FYI | ||

sell the mondial at the height of summer, and buy the boxer. much better bet for the future. just make sure you give the mondial a good home with loving parents..... | ||

Thanks william, I will use that analogy when I discuss it with my wife.  Frank, I have been focusing on 84s with some 83s. I have found they can be had in the mid to high 50s with some milage and service required to mid 70s with service, low miles (15-30k) and great cosmetic condition. Some out there are asking in the 90s for example your friends as FOA have a collector car (great cosmetics) but no service and 8k miles- they are asking in the mid 90s' I told the guy I would consider somewhere in the high 70s to 80s with all the services done - he never called me back - I thought it was a good deal. I was probably on the high side. A 365 BB is a monster - and very rare and prob has the closest link to racing. They are hard to find and generally price close to the high end of a 84 FI car. There is a guy on the board who has one - they are sweet | ||

HA! I knew WIlliam, International Playboy would compare it to women! LOL I miss my first racercar so bad - I still think there isn't another car out there that I can drive so well - I could of driven it blindfolded....hmmmmm...some people thin I drive blindfolded anyway LOL If I could find that car - I'd buy it back - at least NOW I can afford to fix it | ||

Yes, its not easy but if u think of Ferraris as women u r trading in a Hausfrau for a mature Diva. Course Divas require more expensive maintenance but when they put out Rrrrrrr LOL | ||

I too have been considering buying a 365GT4BB but can't get myself to let the 348 Spider go. What kind of prices have you found out there on Boxers ? | ||

my first was a 1982 308 GTSi. I sold it when I bought my 1983 Boxer...but since then I have bought a 1982 GTSi again, sold it, and a 1979 GTS which I still have. The boxer's greatest fault is the rake on the front window, the sun kills you during the day, and the reflection from the dash is awful. I think the boxer right now is still underpriced and a great bargain. Take the plunge...and don't keep more than one Ferrari... they are a pain to maintain. I know. I have five. Only one is running perfectly right now...and who knows for how long... | ||

As some of you know I have been looking for a Boxer over the last few months with the idea of getting rid of my mondial. I have taken several drives in diff boxers and it is one amazing car - a pure monster. That said I am having a hard time saying goodby to my mondial. I have had it about a year and I just love it. I feel as if I am just getting a feel for all its nuances. I know you will say keep the mondial and get the boxer - I just can't justify it to the boss (wife ). I really like the ease with which the mondial drives and enjoy being able to come home from work and take her for a spin - plus a convertible in the summer is great. Are these feelings normal( sounds like I need therapy). Did you guys have trouble saying goodby to your first? love to hear your views |
