    I'm about to trade in my 430 coupe for a 599. Does anyone have any opinions or thoughts on the difference between the two? If you could only have one, which would you pick and why. I want to keep both, but parking is an issue.

    FWIW, a local gentleman who has had all manner of ferraris traded his 599 on a 430 spider and said that he regreted it, the 599 he felt was a better car.

    In my opinion, Ferrari 599 gtb is very better than F430.
    I think it has got a better design, a better engine and it's more comfortable, very more confortable than the other car.
    But, 599 is a v12 so it requires a better maintenance and it costs about €80.000 more than the v8 Ferrari.

    I'm Italian and I've got a red 599 gtb: the best car I've ever had.

    thanks for the input. its a real tough one. F430 is a real beautiful car and hard to part with. Anyone here anything about new body styles in 2010?

    I suppose the real question should be: What do you enjoy the car for and what do you use it for?
