    Personally, I think there is nothing wrong with carbies on a mid mount V8 Ferrari! :D:D

    Its the carbies on the front mount V12 Ferrari that nobody wants!!!! :eek::eek:

    IMO, of course. :D:D

    Lol! Ok, but would a sub $40K GT4 still be ANY good?? :confused::confused:

    The ones I see vary from around $40K up to $80K. Im assuming the $80K cars are a lot better than the $40K cars. :D:D

    I dont know what a $40K GT4 looks like in person, but would be rather average IMO. :):)

    You have a 360 and 430 in the garage. Im sure you could swing an extra $30K or whatever it takes to get a good GT4 mate. ;);)

    If you cannot swing the extra cash to a get a good GT4, then I suggest you wait until you do. There is no such thing as a cheap Ferrari. Buying a cheap one will only see you invest A LOT of money and time to get it right and then you may have well bought a good car from the start and saved yourself the trouble. :):)

    mine cost $30k but i suspect i won't be able to replace it for that. they've had a surge.

    I know of one for sale for $42.5k that has a serious engine problem.

    but it's red!

    Hey if your after a Cheap Ferrari then heres a really Cheap one that you will love.

    Its over in the UK at the moment but its a piece of cake to import.

    its 7k in British Pounds so around $14 thousand Australian dollars, all you need to do is buy it, then put it on ship and then when it lands in Australia pay GST and Custom duty of 10% each and then your free to register it. too easy!! :)

    So all up you can get in landed in oz for under $20k. How awesome and cheap is that!!!! :)


    Newer than a Gt4 and more practical plus its got a unique and rare colour combo, whats not to like about it :D

    For a first Ferrari Carlos you ultimately really cant go wrong with the Mondial.

    Its has the cheapest running costs of all 80's Ferraris. Major servicing can be performed without removing the entire engine/transmission subframe.

    The body was zinc plated so rust shouldnt be too much of an issue on the body. The interior is spacious and has excellent all round vision out of the windows.

    With 4 seats its really practical, thus making it more of a daily driver than the other 2 seaters, So its got plenty of room and makes a great tourer, you can even take mates along to club days!

    It also has a longer wheelbase than the other 3x8 series and that makes handling a bit more predictable and easier to the newcomer.
    In fact
    Source

    So whilst no Ferraris are cheap the Mondial is the most affordable of the marque. Its newer than the Gt4 so less age related problems to fix. So really you cant go wrong with one Carlos, perfect way to get introduced to the Ferrari marque. :)

    Heres a thread full of pics of members yummy Mondials :D
