Wanting to buy a 599

All,

Really have fallen in love with this cars looks. Want one black on black. Have a TR and 360 right now so not new to Ferrari's.

Was just wondering about people's experiences with car. Mostly what years good/bad, what options are good/bad, reliability, things that break, what is big maintenance items, etc.

Really any comments you want to make.

 

Brian - From my perspective, consider the carbon brakes, 20" wheels and steering wheel shift lights as essential options on any car you're looking at. It seems that cars without these options have a lower asking price and appear to be more difficult to sell. Just an observation and opinion.

 

There is a black/black HGTC for sale and it is reasonably priced. I really want one too but I don't want black and not ready to buy today.

 

A few monthes ago i was in the same case.

I finally chose the HGTE because of the equipment that included led steering wheel and carbon packs.

After driving both (normal and HGTE), the HGTE is better in all cases.
