    Well,

    I subscribed to the FerrariMarketLetter.com
    was it worth my $140?

    I haven't really checked out the site, just browsed the classifieds.
    It seems it has the same cars listed that are on every other site, drautos.com etc...

    What is the best attribute to the FML?

    It's a great resource to have around if you are in the market for a car

    I find it very useful for the classics. (up to and including the daytona's) I like to be able to go back to old issues see what was listed in past issues.

    for example if you want a daytona coupe, it gives you an idea of how many were listed for sale in the last several years. can sort of estimate a "opportunity rate" i.e., cars appearing for sale/year.

    I found it very useful in a former life.

    A subscription to FHM is a better value.

    asking this question BEFORE subscribing would have made more sense, I think.

    That said, I've subscribed for over 15 years and always enjoy flipping through it.

    Oddly enough, Gerald gets an occasional phone call from people who have just purchased a Ferrari. They call him - after their purchase - and ask what history he has on the car.

    LMAO...!!!


    Uro, I wish you'd get a Ferrari already... I was on the Dragon in the late summer and, now that my car's fixed, I'd like to go back without worry... I could make it a :gasp!: day trip and we could get together - me in my Sentra, you in your :gasp!: Ferrari... :)

    Does the FML website have an option to be notified when new cars are posted for sale?

    If it does, It is driving me nuts tryin to find this option

    It's an option we've discussed but not yet implemented.

    Heyyyy! That was me!

    Of course, after that, I emailed him about several cars I didn't buy, so I guess it balances out.

    Seriously, though, FML is a great publication, and well worth it if you are in the market for a Ferrari, or just want to keep an eye on what's available.
