    A modern dimemma; given the choice all low mileage cars, what would you choose the F12, SCUD or a
    F430 Coupe AND a Spider, roughly all for the same price

    Scud to scratch the itch and hold value until you find what you really want.
    I think the F430 Spider is one of the better looking Ferrari's, has aged well.
    F12 you can pick up any time.

    No question for me given these options, F12.
    But around the same price you could also get a 458 with lots of choice - I always counter the 458 fanatics bashing the 488 ( ;) ), but the 458 in itself and at the right price is a very good value that deserves consideration.

    Since resale value is my highest priority: Scud. Slam dunk. If money not an object F12.

    Do threads like this really help someone to decide?
    F12 = epic V12, fast and classy. Value not bad since nearing depreciation plateau.
    Scud = visceral and raw driving experience. Value will hold.
    2 F430s? Well this one doesn’t make sense to me. Quality of experience > quantity of experience.
    But in these price ranges...Italia, and higher-mileage 458 Spider also fabulous options.

    Scud. Unless you want a more comfortable ride, then F12.

    What are you using the car for? Weekends only? Scud. Some daily driving? F12.....Had a Scud for a year, amazing experience. Given that I would go with the F12 because been there done that so to say.....

    How was the Scud? I’m looking for a semi daily. Deciding between the Scud and Speciale. I’m told I’d hate both because they are too uncomfortable. I sat in the Speciale and it was the most comfortable seat of any Ferrari I’ve ever been in. More comfortable than the F12, 812 and 488 seats in my opinion. Would love to hear your thoughts on driving the Scud.

    I have both .... Scud is raw, visceral and intoxicating.
    Speciale is every bit of the Scud and a bit more on steroids.
    Speciale to me is super comfortable. Suspension is a bit stiff. Love it.
    Love both for different occasions.

    I have both Speciale and 16M and I find both to be very comfortable.

    Would you say the Speciale is more refined with less kinks than the Scud? Not as “raw” overall? More comfortable of a drive as a daily?

    Might be a bit of a challenge as a semi daily driver. ;)

    The f12 has not reached depreciation plateau as was commented above. History shows what v12’s do.

    The Scud is an amazing vehicle....Raw and shifts will rock your bones....not something I would drive on a daily basis....It needs room to run

    Yes on all accounts.
    I could see it being a daily no problem and I don’t see it that much of a departure from the 458 in terms of creature comforts - except for stiffer suspension and floor mats lol.

    def a scud for the experience and value, but not f12 pricing, much much less. F12 if you need something easier to live with, with effortless time-warping power. The f430s are a ferrari bargain, but i wouldnt get 2. I would get another different car instead for different experience
