    I am nosing around for a 612 and am surprised to see only 2005 models offered on eBay. Why aren't there any '06s?

    Ferrari production tends to go in fits and starts, especially with the 612. I believe they delivered a lot of them early in the production timeline (2005) to meet pent up demand and then fewer over the next few years.

    Also, the 05's are out of warranty - many of the 06's are still under warranty.

    I am looking around for 612 Blue or Black w/ Shileds, Tubi, 19's. F-1 is fine...Miles do not bother me either, just great service records and exterior.

    How is this car as a daily driver?

    Are the F-1's durable or due the clutch's go every 10K miles? Had a 355 with an F-1 terrible, the 575 was much better.

    I reall like to looks and having the back seat with kids is really HUGE plus..Also the extra space.

    Having several 550's and 575's I am interested in peoples thoughts about the size of this car, performnce, and feel. Does it feel large or handle close to a 550/575?


    They seem to be coming down in price like everything else which is nice, but really more interested in driving it as I do my Ferrari's now...That means 10K miles or more per year. Long trips, to the office, ect..every day.

    Feedback is greatly appreciated.

    I have driven my almost everyday since I bought it and it is a wonderful daily driver. It is quiet, comfortable, easy to get in and out of and the front end clearance is very good so you can take almost anywhere. Mine has 15k miles and is on the original clutch. When they did the recall on the trans sensor they told me the clutch still had 50% life in it.
