If you fellas are in the market for a £200k car and wish to avoid depreciation as far as possible surely one of these is worth considering?
Beautiful, bewitching and its got the famous V8 sound we all love.
Seems plausible that it could rise in value and your gonna stand out like no other as a motoring officienado of exquisite taste.

Gotta disagree with you here Andy. Unless you're a footballer or criminal most of us can't afford one until in our 40'S got my 456 at 48.
As a petrol head enthusiast I just wanted to experience the thrill of being involved with the Ferrari brand as an owner it wasn't look at me honestly mate even with a V12 for my first one.

You’re right, Phil, and that’s the annoying thing - I doubt there’s one amongst us here who bought their car to impress other people. We got them to enjoy ourselves and in their own right. We don’t drive through city centres giving it the beans so people stop and stare, we head for the open roads.

the quality of mclarens are absolutely appalling
Ive had engines out of 650's and worked on 720's etc. the centre consoles of the 12c/650's are CARDBOARD wrapped in a thin skin of leather. held together by hot glue and polystyrene.
The only ones i think are fairly decent and havent had too many issues on are the 570's.

Phil, there is no argument in that you are a 100% petrol head and I believe exactly what you have said there..... But I bought my Maserati for one reason....to get laid ..... ;)

Nope..........Now if I was 15 years younger, looked like Brad Pitt, had a six pack and was hung like a Baboon it may well have contributed but unfortunately I am none of those.

I never realised, Andy. Are you saying that one of these could really improve my prospects?
