Will I take a bath..........

A guess but if you buy at around £130k you'll trade in for 1/2 that in 3 Years with average (Ferrari) miles, even less if more miles

 

Maybe but late model 456 are still 50-60K. I don't think from here at c.130K, you are going to lose more in percentage terms than any other high end car (997 Turbo etc).

 

Its a big question, much like will house prices crash....so I'll take a guess but no more.

I think 50% in three years is steep on a used 612. A good spec early one, £120-130k with reasonably miles, I reckon would be worth the best part of £90-100k in 3 years.

Don't quote me though, as who knows what else will happen in the economy.

Would a 550/575 do? Although they don't have the rear seats, I think their residuals will be much better compared to today's prices.

Personally Paul I think you should get a 6.0.

Amazing car, amazing looks, amazing performance and amazing resale value.

Orange of course.

Do like the idea of a 612 though but for that money, I'd buy something else.

 

Your a brave man thinking of a murci roadster in Scotland, I'm in North Carolina and wondering if the useless roof will allow me to drive it enought.

The 550 does seem like the 'bargain' now, having taken its largest depreciation hit already and still being a modern car.

 

Stradale ?

 

To be honest Paul you should be more concerned with this summers Mamas and Papas range

You really need to get a grip, fatherhood is a big responsiblity. Finding a suitable buggy that will fit in the bonnet any of these cars is challenging enough

 

Murci Roadster is the way to go, F the weather, think of the sluts!

One of the nicest looking cars in the world and everybody knows it.

I'm just unhealthily obsessed with both the diablo 6.0 and Murci Roadster and would really struggle to choose one over the other.

Either way, your going to have to get an outrageous colour for it.

 

murci roadster has a crap roof ?????? unless they changed it,, its like putting a tent up,,

and bassed on your performance on sunday with the gazibo, i think youd end up wet ! alot !


you could have a 550 or 575 and a 360 spider for the cost of the murci roadster,,,,,,, well almost,,,,,,

lambo night two weeks tonight paul,,,, if your booking on,, i will,,also

scott.

 

I always remember the first time we went for a test drive in the 360 over in Egham
My wife was more interested in checking that the pram fitted in behind the seats than anything else - I think it was this fact that convinced them that I was a serious buyer

 

I remember having a Porsche 996. We had to get them to wheel about five different strollers out of M&P before we found one that fitted. I subsequently realised you can get one from Porsche ~ from memory the price wasnt too sensible tho.

 

back on topic, i can see no reason why 612 should buck the front engined V12 depreciation cycle. I honestly think you'll get caned on price, Paul. Mark's bang on the money and should know having owned a 550 and 575...
