    ...at least not here in Sweden.

    348´s seem to be quite steady pricewise.

    However it is another story from 360 and "upwards".

    If there are 4 348´s for sale here there are at least 15 360´s and 430´s,
    which of course tend to press the price downwards for these cars.

    The cheapest 360 here now is less than 50 % more expensive than an ordinary 348 which certainly was not the case when they were new, both of them.

    neither was the dino at one time. Time will tell on the 355 because there are only so many perfect ones out there.

    For bottom dwellers, it dosnt matter if the the cars sell $10.00, they wont be able to maintain them anyway.

    your overlooking what these cars are all about. Power is nothing. The feel and joy of driving a 355 is incredible. The 355 will out perfom a 500 bph Gallardo and the 355 feels 20 time better to drive.

    It'll be interesting to see what values of well maintained cars hold in the future, as more bottom feeders jump into fcar ownership not counting on 25% of the car's value for maintenance...

    As they say, many can afford to buy a Ferrari but few can afford to own one!

    Correct, and once they see the maintenance estimate they will dump it quicker than they bought it at any cost.

    And as they also say, when buying a Ferrari you are only making a down payment because the maintenance accounts for the rest of the cost of ownership.

    C'mon, am I the only one that thought this was funny??!?!?!?!

    Back on topic, if only I had cheap garage space and and an extra $120,000 lying around I would buy a GTS and a Spider to keep my lonely Berlinetta company. Performance for dollar the only thing that beats it is an early Porsche 996 hardtop IMO. I had one for over 30,000 miles and put almost nothing into it, just brake pads/rotors, and gas.

    Seems like with my 355 "going down on me" I want to put as many miles on it as possible before I'm too old to really enjoy the darn thing. I definitely didn't count on the purchase as being a money-making/storing endeavor.

    i love the look and feel of a ferrari but everyone knows its built like made in china. its all about supply and demand. if they made less then 10 its probably worth collecting. e.g watches, etc.
