    He didn't put a value limit, he put a price limit.... which he had to. Answers would be much different if he asked max of 20k or max of 1M etc so he gave us a number to stay at or below is all.

    I see a few things I would consider:

    512 Boxer carbed
    16M
    F8

    Non-Ferraris
    720S Spider
    Huracan STO
    Huracan Technica
    Aventador Roadster

    Amazing how few things $400k buys now.....

    I'm not sure you could get for under $400K but I would say 16M or a carbed Boxer. But to be honest, I'm happy with the 2 cars I have that total a little under that. Not sure I would trade them for any one car.

    In todays market, I would say either 458, 812, or GTC4 Lusso.

    Much maligned at first— these are making a comeback.

    I personally like a gated Murci

    As an owner, a later Diablo in a rarer variant (Roadster, 6.0, SV) is a great owners experience and one of the best bargains still out there.

    And I guess I can throw in the other car I own, a '05 Ford GT.....also a great ownership experience, but in completely different ways. There are some sub-$400k cars out there with miles.

    And both were bought for sub-$300k combined, the Diablo in 2014 and the FGT in 2020. The days when you can do that are long gone.

    You can, the Boxer easy.....the 16M just barely and will require some looking and waiting.

    Im not really 100% sure to be honest. The one I drove was a single head light version. i just remember the funky little switch on the steering column reminded me of the turn singnals every time I went to use it... they are nice cars, but not quite my speed... the gtc is far better looking.

    The GTC blows away the $400K limit though...

    An FF and a 458, but if it’s just one, a 458 Speciale with “some history”

    Because 'everyone' would pick an F50, F40 or a Pista????
    Or even a 250 or 330, based on all the replies above.

    I'm boring, I'd pick a 550 Maranello....

    Or a TR/BB512.....

    Is it me, or have about 75% of the cars disappeared off of FC used car ads in the last couple weeks or so?
