I'm 1 year into my 328 and I have to say it has made the E60 just everyday regular transport. The 328 is an occasion. I love driving it and have done over 10 k km in several months including a trip to the 60th anniversary celebrations in Maranello which was one of the most amazing trips of my life

If you have had dreams of owning one, research the market, do not buy cheap crap - it will cost more in the long rung. My car has been faultless in the 10 k km, I am not regretting the purchase one bit and just looking at it in the garage brings a smile to my face. I spent a year here: www.ferrarichat.com before taking the plunge and finding the perfect car. I use the same nick on both forums BTW.

nice car thanks for the info.
I have many frend that have classic car and very old car.
So I am well prepaired to fix the car.
for me, when I do buy a old Ferrari, eg. say $20,000us I would keep a extra $10,000 to fix the car.
that the fun of owning a classic or a old sports car.

That maybe works and is fun with an old MGB, Mustang, Alfa, etc. With a Ferrari if you want to buy a heap and fix it properly that's more like $30k and $30k so better buy the best you can find for say $50k and have fun driving it rather than be scouring the world for unobtainium parts.

Also a late eighties Ferrari doesn't drive like a classic car - they drive and handle like proper sports cars - I've seen over 260 km/h on my GPS in mine and the cornering and handling are great. That's not like an MGB in which you would amble along in on a leisurely Sunday drive.

As far as the Ferrari theme park is concerned it's just a next step of cynical brand extensions which include NICI cuddly toys, laptops, Puma shoes and a whole lot of other garbage that now carries the brand.
