    ferrari folks,

    i am pretty new in the ferrari business.
    now i am having plans of getting me a 456.
    but i am pretty clueless about this cars (yes, i know about the windows...) please help me, ferrari friends:
    why should i buy this car?
    why should i leave it?
    i don´t think it´s enough to say,
    "you pay for the engine, the rest is free - so don´t complain"...
    any advise, hint, recommendation is welcomed.
    thx.

    If you ask yourself why, get a lexus. If it's not for the pleasure, no car justifies this investment.
    Otherwise buy what your heart tells you and enjoy the ride.
    Get an M, they're much better, and avoid the A, it spoils all the pleasure you could find.

    Pros:
    1. 4 Seats
    2. Still very fast
    3. Should be sorted out by now
    4. 12 cyl.
    5. That look
    6. Already a "bargain"

    Cons:

    1. 4 seats, do you need them ? or get a 550 instead
    2. Maintenance is still very high
    3. Weird assembly/design
    4. Parts cost (look at the bonnet you'll see what i mean)
    5. Will depreciate further

    It is a wonderful car.
    Pros
    Fast
    Comfortable
    leather smells great
    Room for you and your three Bouviers, who love to ride along
    Very attractive styling
    Cons
    You must be adept at cotortion to clean rear seat area
    Depreciation severe
    Gasoline at 2.50 per gallon
    Bouviers tend to open fuel door and turn on parking lights when parked
    If it is just you and one friend, consider a 550
    Good luck,
    Winston
