    As a proud owner of Porsches (currently have a 991 Turbo S), I turned to the dark side after tracking a Scud last year. What an experience and difference to my Porsche. While I love my Porsche and still marvel at the technology and performance, nothing beats the feeling of this vehicle. I set on a mission to get one, and finally pulled the trigger on an 09' Rosso 16M with ~3k miles last week. Too bad the snow is coming down today in heaves, but she'll be placed nicely into her garage space today. I am proud to be an official part of the family now!

    Did you buy the one from Wynn? I've always eyed the 16m as well. Send pics including interior!

    I thought lambos were the dark side.

    would you mind sharing with the group (or just me privately) what you ended up paying for it? I'm looking at an 09 as well but the seller is not budging from the list price

    Thanks all! Pics to come.

    Yes, I did get the one from Wynn. I flew out to Vegas to go through it in detail as they had some slightly dirty interior pics online that concerned me. In the flesh the car did not have any obvious damage and with only some very minor cosmetics including some small rock chips and a small blotch on the lower part of the steering wheel which they fixed up. I almost bought the one on Long Island as I am from NY, but the price from Wynn was much stronger as I think they had it on the lot longer vs. the gentleman in Long Island who had recently purchased the vehicle. We took it for an aggressive drive, what a feel.

    I like Ferrari being the DARK side as it just feels much more anakin vs. luke :)

    Lamos are likely more the dark side, but coming from Porsche is like the straight-edge kid taking some shots for the first time. The Lambo may be more the ecstasy of cars :)

    Congrats, the 16m/scud is one awesome car. Recently sold my scud and I am currently looking for a rossa scuderia 16m, a little harder to find when most of them are rossa corsa.

    Would you kindly PM me the final negotiated price on your new 16M. I have just started to explore purchasing one as well and am interested in the price. I've noticed an upward trend in the sales price and I've heard from many people in the Ferrari community that it will be a car that will continue to trend higher in the resale/collector world.

    Thank you in advance and congrats on your new 16M!

    I saw this car at Wynn last time I was in Vegas. Absolutely beautiful and I'm extremely jealous! Huge congrats on what in my mind is the perfect Ferrari roadcar.

    Sorry all for the delay! I believe I responded to everyone's PM. Please re-PM me if you did not get a response.

    Re: The gentleman asking about my location. I am in the NY area, upstate.

    Pics coming soon. I only had time to get her in the garage, marvel, and leave for the Thanksgiving travel plans. Will definitely post pics. The personality of this car is so raw.
