New 911 @ 23, house was already paid for ;)
Dem's right,with the finance that's available these days owning a Ferrari is within the grasp of more people than ever before.Buying the car is not the problem,it's the upkeep that's often the scarey part. Remember wealth is an illusion that can be created by the amount of debt that you have. I bought my 308 at 39,and like Al it was a 40th birthday present to myself.I'd always wanted a 308 so that's what I bought.
Got any jobs goin Tone? Have I upset you? I had a house and an E type when I was 18, had 8 children by 31. Got loads a money, loads a money, now in it. D11VE:J
Set myself a target age of 40 but did not get my 328 until I was 42. Now at 44 I am having to sell, so need to set a new goal, and that is to own another F by age 48.
26 when I got my 308gt4. Had it 10yrs now next dream its to own a Testarossa for my 40th. Struggling so far as the missus has just got her conservatory, but I did get a new garage so I am planning ahead I think.
37, the 355 I have now. EVERYBODY plans to have a Ferrari don't they? Mine was an impluse purchase really, friend of a friend decided to sell and I thought "why not". Missus got the willies when Itold her how much my new toy was......and I knocked loads off what I actually paid!!!
23, house 30, bigger house 31, 208gt4 33, Mondial 8 34, gonna build new house now bigger garage. Will keep the Mondial. Never intended to buy a Ferrari. Just walked against it, liked it and bought it.
tonyh; We should call this KidsCHat on this thread, A Ferrari is nowt to pay for when you look at what children cost. Ferrari £50k say, 1 child £200k to age 18, and then there is the house to buy on top - How do we do it? The wife was driving a Mclaren when we were 28, but that was a puchchair, could have had a showroom full of Ferrari's for what the kids cost, but just think about all those pleasures I would have missed out on - I deserved a Ferrari for effort.

Yeah, good point, I got my first house at 22 ... no big deal having a flash car if you don't own the roof over your head. And it's bricks and mortar which is one mighty fine way to build up equity to buy other things like, er, flash cars!
bricks and morter aint as good as it used to be with the property market slumping now big recession coming soon interest rate back to the good old days 16%
