As a mechanic (not car), “I kind of want to be there when you’re putting it back together” is the last thing you ever want to hear from a customer.

Reminds me of the old adage "there is nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes Benz" and I assume that's doubly true with Ferrari. That extensive knowledge, like Sergio has, is alot of what you end up paying for. But I've always liked yellow Ferraris, though more on like a 355, or maybe a 430. But I've always really loved the 550/575 and just thought it was one of the most beautiful cars. They look great any color, but especially black, but they also had this like baby/sky blue color and in that they just look incredible. Would love to have one someday.

Having "a guy" who's the expert mechanic is so key with any car. I had that with a lowly Honda CRX that I ran in prepared class on the track. Of course being a typical Honda racecar owner, I would DIY almost everything. But when I could not figure something out, onto the trailer it went and up to "my guy" it went.

The 550 Maranello is the last “attainable” OEM manual Ferrari. Yes 599s and F430s can be converted but they have to have lag between shifts programmed into the software to mimic the action of the heavier flywheel of a manual car. Not quite the same.

@Setanta69 I know that's why that statement is just Absurd. The Ferrari collector enjoys his Ferrari by inviting friends over to drink red Italian wine while spending time in his garage admiring his Ferrari. Might start it up to put some heat through the engine. The moment he puts one mile on his Ferrari he knows the value will decline. This behavior is polar opposite to the behavior of a Porsche owner.
