    Some basic info- Dark Gray- Red leather- 9,500 KMs (5800 miles) canadian car) absolutely perfect in every respect. All services up to date- nothing required- no paintwork ever- Ferrari dealer maintained- pretty much every option .Purchase price 150,000 USD. Seems like a great value- my concern is impact on future value when selling as its a Canadian car.

    Thank you,

    Larry

    IMO what you save on the front end you'll pay at the back end. If you want the car, buy it, drive it, and enjoy it.

    Buy it. My GTO was a Canadian car. I'm told the most expensive GTO ever built but I have no proof. I'll worry about what it is worth when I sell/trade it. IF I ever sell/trade!

    Listen to posts 2 through 6. If you want an investment, that Ferrari is not the way to go.

    Larry- I do not think there is any difference between a US and Canadian 599. I believe you can select metric or English on the dash. If not the owner, then an SD3. Check with your local dealer.

    I just bought an Aperta from Canada and the cars are built for North America so you don't need to change anything UNLESS you prefer a US instrumentation cluster which costs about $12K to have converted.
