    Stradale. An instant classic. You´ll have a chance to buy a F430 later on.

    I know that the stradale is an instant classic and that it is the last of its breed and i love (the sound, the look, and don't get me started on engine efficiency and handling),but i can't get a 430 later,my conscience can't handle 2 cars for more than 1\2 a million $, and the list is unbelievalbly long so i'm gonna wait anyway,so why not 430 which is gorgeous and loads of power too!!!but the cs.... oh my god i will never decide!

    Get the 430. You can always get the Stradale later and cheaper.

    Don, the question is when do you think you will take delivery of a F430?

    Get the stradale. You will have years of fun with this car until your 430 gets delivered. Live now!

    Even if you put your name on the waiting list for a 430 today you would still have to wait a couple of years to get one, and by the time you do get one they won't be anything special, it will just be like owning a 360 right now, it's a great car, but your not the only person with one. With the Challange Stradale you could get one pretty soon and since Ferrari didn't make may of them if you ever do decide to get a 430 you could just sell the 360 CS and get alot more than what you paid for.

    I'd definatly go for the 360 CS. And if you get one, make sure to get the Stradale stripe.

    There's a lot of CS driving to be had between now and up to two years from now :)

    And I doubt you will lose your shirt on the resale in two years (though I do think it will depreciate). So the operative question is, is the $15-20k/year depreciation you might suffer worth owning a nearly new Ferrari? If it's not, you're probably looking at the wrong kind of car :)

    i do believe the cs will decrease in value , not increase... but life is too short to wait for years...to get a 430 soon, you will have to pay well above list....the down side of the cs is you cant get a 6speed and the 430 you can....follow your heart and not your pocket book....
