So, why the panic sell? You’re barely upside down. Did you buy because of its MSRP and you figured you’d make a few? You keep banging on about your car’s value when a lot of the people here are the OG owner (like me) and we are really upside down. You get no sympathy from me being upside down a whole $17k.
Sold ‘23 GTB 112 off MSRP. This is excluding 7% dealer commission and Sales tax. Took delivery of new ‘25 GTS yesterday. Sincerely hoping the loss on this won’t be that bad 2 years down the road. And I drive my cars - GTB had 3,800 miles when I sold it.
He created a whole thread about. Went back and forth 5x. It’s for sale. Actually it’s not. Wait, it is. Panic posted about selling his carbon wheels. The entire thing is odd and confusing. He got a car with 100 miles for 200k off. One of the best super cars ever made. In an incredible spec. I’d use the bloody thing every chance I get.
296 is super nimble and handles well but has almost no steering feel. Got a 620R and love it, will probably keep a 296 though will decide, have a new one inbound and selling current one and a Speciale deposit on. If you love 750S I would try a 765LT also - for me the 750S was a limousine (scary limo) in comparison to the 765LT and 765TLT had much better steering feel and the 2 I have driven were raw but not crazily so. Tastes vary, not saying one is better, etc. 750S is supposed to have better suspension by a bit but I haven't had the chance to test that at speed in both.
I will need to look for that! I just figure all Ferarris are walls of beep as you get in and even worse when you pull in/park.
2000 miles on I haven't figured out how to reliably quickly adjust the mirrors, the rest of the haptics I can live with. Happy to take advice on what I'm missing.
We did a Ferarri track day last week and it was incredibly distracting every time one tire got off by (exactly) 1 PSI. Happened at least 2x in each of 4 30 minute sessions. Then on the way home and kept taking me out of Carplay/maps as I was trying to navigate twisties. Is there a setting to increase the threshold that anyone has found?
the better suspension alone is worth it over the 765. I have almost 8k miles on it where sometimes we have done 3+ hours in it to Lake George it’s the best every day supercar for the money. I love trying out new cars and whatnot but it’s hard thinking about parting with what’s a mechanically sound McLaren
Got it, thanks. Will have to try 750S more, to speed limit on streets/highways with some curves for 10-20 mins I didn't notice much delta but I also didn't drive back to back. Steering felt way off of 765LT and 620R (all on P0). For my mix it'd be 296 or 750S and 620R/765LT though so it'd take a lot for the suspension to win me over as I think about adding 750S vs 765LT.
sure, it’s a great driving car but the depreciation I will not deal with anymore. This car is bleeding to death….. by far the worst depreciating car in the history of the industry… So who do you fault Ferrari or the old fuddy-duddies who just wants sticky buttons?
You bought it way off sticker and you expect it to suddenly stop depreciating because you stepped out? That’s not realistic. You sound like you got in over your head. Take the small loss while you can. You will sleep better at night.
Unfortunately, I can only write now. In my 991 GT3 RS, someone unfortunately drove behind me. On the race track in Leipzig. This caused a delay. So last week I drove the 296 on the Nordschleife for the first time. I have to change my driving style. Brake much, much earlier. You arrive at a completely different speed. I alternated between driving the 992 GT3 RS and my 296. The GT3 is a force in the corners. I can't keep up with mine. But it doesn't matter. I'm ahead for at least two corners after Hatzenbach. I don't generally record lap times. But it feels like I'm 30 seconds faster per lap.
