    I am in the market for a new car my debate is that with my last 355 i bought it at 85k and then had to put 11k into the car after about 2 years and i feel like i have just had to invest so much in the car that i feel like it was not even worth it. Now i was thinking about either a 00-01 360 or a new Quattroporte or the Gransport i know that it would be cheaper to go with the Maserati but I was thinking I want the car to last for a good amount of years to be my car i drive about 5% of the time. Now with the Maserati the cars Resell value would drop dramatically correct? And the 360's value would of course lower as i racked the miles but would remain the price better correct? I just have so many different thoughts to both sides i was just hoping you guys could help me decide. Thank you!

    None of these are super reasonable purchases. They are all luxury items and you should follow what interests you the most, not necesarily what is the better of the choices. Your name you use should make the choice for you.

    P.S. Fill in your profile and you will get more responses, people here like to know who they are talking too. Welcome to F-chat.

    Well, to be sarcastic again you already are 27 and own a CS and a 430, well at least according to your profile. What are you woried about resell value for because you are obviously a multi millionaire. If you drive a CS why why are you asking questions about a modena? The CS is a 360. Sorry man but your questions sound naive to me from someone who already "owns" 2 ferraris.

    Why are you asking this question if you already own two modern Ferraris?

    I think your question is striking people on this forum a little strange. We are thinking something like "Why would a guy who has a CS and a 430 be asking such simplistic questions about a 360??" Many may also find it difficult to take you seriously b/c your writing style comes off a bit...well....adolescent. Also, you filled out your profile a bit strangely. You said you have no "current Ferrari's" but under "other cars owned" you put a 360 CS and a 430. Look, we want to help you but as you can imagine this board has its share of "Wanna Be's" who are not always truthful...heck I wanna-be driving a 599 :) But, please work on being more forthcoming and think out/type out your question a bit better and you will likely get more help. Also, include pics of your cars, we would all love to see them.

    Best

    Haha... Yeah i figured most people would be confused why I would go from a CS to a 360? Well here it is a found a beautiful Dark Blue 360 F1 Spider with Black rims that i fell in love with. I started this topic because i have never owned a Maserati and was wondering if anyone could give me the ups and downs. But as of now i have convinced myself other wise and I am going for the 360. About my age FMax when i turned 22 the "Family Business" was handed down to me which was recently appraised at being worth close to 250million. And being young and in love with Ferrari's why not? I have a 5 car garage attached to my house and just built another 4 car garage in hopes to extend from 2 to 4.

    You mean you have owned these 2 ferrari cars only through the winter and never taken a picture of them? Or do you own an old instamatic camera without a scanner? The first thing I did was take some pics with my camera phone.

    Anyone who has a 250 million dollar business would not be boasting about it on a public forum. Your posts make no sense at all. If your so well to do than go buy a Maserati and return it if you dont like it. OR do what I do and rent the car for a week before buying one. Whatever the case may be I think your being dishonest.
    Where is Simon......we need some quotes from him and fast

    ...sorry, nobody with a business worth that would say that; they would require more discretion...secondly 11K in maintanence is not worth mentioning if one has such assets...

    How much does this happen guys??

    Lets say this guy turns out to be a kid playing with dads computer. How often do you guys see this? Disappointing that people at any age would pretend to be something they are not.

    Often and the "detectives" on here usually sniff them out in just a few posts. They can be merciless. Makes for some good threads.
