One 612 or both 456 and 550

612 IMO. You can only drive one car at a time why have two old GT cars when you could have one bad a$$ GT car. Now if you were talking a 550 and 430 or 612 I would say 550 and 430. Two different type cars.


Once again just my opinion

 

Idget a 550 and sell the 456 if you dont need the 2+2 and get something sportier , like a 355 ?

 

Good call!

 

From what i have heard the 612 is very nice but no match in terms of driving sensation compared to a Maranello. Go with a nice Maranello , you wont regret it.

 

Why would you own both a 456 and a 550? They are not all that different.

Personally, I would get the 612.

 

go with a 550 and a 355 spider... or a 550 and a 360 coupe!

 

If you are used to the 456 and are looking for an additional sporting feel trust me the 612...is miles ahead of both! The 550 is a great and accomplished car...but the 612 gives you so much more and the 2+2 is a real plus in the everday world. You get more out of the car...besides...its faster, handles great...and looks incredible in the flesh. If you want to keep your 456 and get a second sports car...go for a 360.

 

Probably slightly higher, but if you look hard and compromise on a (relatively) high mileage 2005 model, you might be able to get one for $175,000 next month. In reality, plan on $190,000-$210,000.

 

How is "the hunt" for a 612..?

612s with the manual box already have asking prices under $175K; given the current queasy state of the economy, I'd expect the F-1s to be in that range pretty soon.

 

+1

You can only love one really

 

i would keep the 456 and buy a 599. two truly different expierences, practicalities, purpouses and sensations.

 

theres a 2000km's car up here you may like.

 

If you haven't already, I'd recommend checking out the thread on the Ingrid Silver 612 at Ferrari of San Francisco.

 

One 612 over 2 vintage cars...

 

Here are my thoughts. I'm a collector. If you want to be a collector or start a collection. I'd go with the 2 cars. 456 & 550. If you just want to drive a GREAT car. Go with the 612. I have a 456 & 550. I don't see nothing wrong with owning both. Variety. Hmmmm, which car should i drive today... That's a good feeling.

 

I think from a value perspective, which may or may not be relevant, you'd be better off with fully or at least nearly fully depreciated cars of any number whose total collective price is close to a single new one. I tend to agree with those who say the performance etc.. is not that different between the 456 and 550. Why not trade the 456 on a 550--I assume a 20k to 40k boot is to be expected there--and buy something totally different for a two plus two, like a 365 gt4 or a 412 figure high 30s for a good example of either, that would let you have fun with your daugther and experience something different from your 550?

 

575!!!

 

Looking at your collection, IT would kill me!!!
/OT

Get the 550, great driver and a whole different car than a 612. let your heart decide
