    Maybe not everywhere but certainly in far greater supply than six months ago. As of this moment there are seven (7) 599s for sale on Ebay alone. This does not include a number at dealers and on other websites. They still seem to be holding their values fairly well but it would appear that demand has slackened enough to where there is actually a selection to choose from.

    What he said. Plus, now's the time to take the profit before the market weakens.

    The 599s on eBay may show increased selection, but the real sign of the times will come when the vehicles begin to depreciate. Of the cars on eBay, the average Buy It Now is still above $465,000, and asking price of the seven on AutoTrader is, on average, north of $505,000. So, still ridiculously above MSRP.

    However, I think the increased selection shows the beginning of the inevitable depreciation curve for the vehicles. Anyone who thinks the 599 is immune to the same depreciation we're seeing now with the 550 and 575M is definitely mistaken!

    Many of my friends have exited the 06 599 to make room for the 430S

    Gentlemen,

    There is indeed a non-dearth of 599's, as there are two for sale in Nome, Alaska and one on offer in Bethel of the same state.

    Oddly, there are only two in Anchorage.

    Same as me. I let my 599 GTB allocation for December 2007 go for premium in October. Just because I am getting 430 Scuderia. Best.

    The only F-cars I've seen around here are mine and those at January's Detroit Auto Show.:(
