Ahm first question would be: do you prefer a cabrio or a coupe?

[Merrill]

Kinda both cause i don't mind them whether it is cabrio or coupe

Well here's my take on the situation.

A relation works for the largest car dealership firm in the UK, and a while back was high up in the FIAT side of things. E.g. Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Maserati. (I don't know if they have any Ferrari dealers).

Sadly, aforementioned dealership firm stopped selling FIATs because they couldn't make any money out of them.

One of the stories, along with the ones about airfields full of unsellable cars, was that when they ordered a customer a Maserati, they actually ordered two.

One to give to the customer, and one for spares for when the first one broke.

I don't know if this was limited to cars built before Ferrari "took over", or if it is still a problem.

Reports on the new Gransport are impressive though.
It also has the added bonus of being nearly half the price of the Ferrari.

In the UK at least, a 360 would be a good bet, because there is so little depreciation.
You could buy one, drive it for a year, then sell it for not much less than what you paid.

However, with the announcement of the 430, that could mean the market flooded with 360s as people "upgrade", so it could push used 360 prices down.

The Gransport's depreciation would be fairly comical I imagine.

Or, conversly, the 360 could become a classic as the last good-looking Ferrari.

I suppose the best thing to do would be to drive both, then make your own decision about which you could live with.

Why are you looking to buy a car if you were born in '91?

Oh, sorry!

I didn't realise we were talking about 1:18 models.

The Ferrari will get more dust in the "cockpit".

Go for the Maser.

[deffenbaugh03]

I thought we were talking about full size too, my apoligies.

Wait we aren't talking about 1:18 models here, unless you can drive 1:18 models which to the best of my knowledge you cant.

I felt that putting in a "" would have ruined the subtleness of the humour.

However, as I seem to have thoroughly confused everyone: I was joking.

[Sweeney921]

alright, this 13 year old is messing with our heads
