    It's F1 not manual

    Do you like the all-leather lower dash vs. the standard carbon fiber? Purely a matter of taste. Seems incredibly well-priced given the mileage.

    The price is on the higher end of the current market.

    Very high end for a 2008 with no HGTE kit.

    599 is essentially the replacement for 550/575 vehicles. In other words, same mission.

    I would probably have opted for a mid-engine vehicle (F430 or 458) instead, to keep things different and interesting.

    Respectfully, this is untrue. They're wildly different.

    Based on the other responses, seems like my statement about price was wildly incorrect. Guess I misread something along the line.

    Agree, the price seems HGTE 2010 territory. I have been checking prices lately and they are all over the map from $144k (with 20k-25k miles) to high $100ks. Hard to determine what is or not a good deal to get in at...

    Beautiful car though...

    I understand they are different, as newer models tend to be. But, they are all front-engined, V-12, 2-seat GT cars. Their mission is the same. The 599 was the official replacement for those cars.

    If you like the idea of different generations of the same concept, nothing wrong with that. I just like to mix things up a bit.
