    Not to be the evil temptation for anyone, but there is a 27k mile GranSport in Dallas Classifieds today for $54k. That is actually higher miles for a GranSport (ours had 8k) but if a clean car you can get at that price or even closer to $50k. Now after owning one for a few weeks let me first say these are a TON of car for the money. Detuned engine of what went in the 430 and most are heavily optioned, ours is a 2005 and stickered at $116k, the 2006's maybe more. 395 or 400 HP / 335 or 340 Torque (depends who you ask), 200 ms F1 shifting, adjustable suspension and Sport mode for quicker shifts, stiffer suspension, and more open exhaust. Trim is very luxurious, but the GranSport takes it a little sportier with mesh inlays and carbon fiber. We had Mia back right and my mom behind me and I had plenty of room at 6'2". Maintenance wise I think most of the F1 issues were fixed by 2004 and there are no belts (chains), I was told average $800 a year. I think clutch every 4-6 years and tires every 10k will be the biggest expense. The huge depreciation on these cars is our benefit now, they will continue to depreciate more than the stabilized Ferraris (pre 360, 456, and pre 575), but it has started to stabilize. Oh, have I said they are a ton of car for the money! 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and 180 MPH top speed with back seats! :D
