[@russelljacob7955]

@@sebastianmoradi4311 Modern ferraris are definitely back on their game. From Vin wiki and other related channels, it has become more apparent that other cars are not much different. We have seen with Car Wizard, simple failures on a Ford F150 costing more to fix than Hooptie Ferraris. It mostly seems to be now just price of parts on performance spec models. Carbon brakes or older manumatic transmissions. Some of them repair bills? I think to myself about my ten year old hatchback (astra) that has had more problems despite full dealer servicing since new and taken care of. Many thousands of dollars. Service vs MSRP cost of car? My Astra is far worse than any exotic seen on the Car Trek network of tubers. By MSRP of car? My Astra is worse than the Hilton SLR repair video. Side humor? I dont have anything exotic myself, but I can relate to the sentiment. I wanted to pick up a new (am sure Ed cringes at thought of buying new) car for summer fun and nice weather shows. But so frustrated by reliability of most nice cars in my bracket? I didnt choose Camaro, or Mustang, or Type R, or 3 series BMW or an A class Merc. My ride I got for drives in the sun and shows? I got a V6 Camry. I love how they compare to Camry so often. "Best luxury car for price of a Camry? A Camry"

I can't think of a more perfect exotic that checks all the boxes. Since you posted the first video on it, its the only exotic I've ever really been interested in. I felt your pain on that last drive. Sometimes searching for all the new in the world can't replace the old.

[@chrismanogue2021]

I just wanted to say I’ve been watching your videos for several years now and love learning about the exotic world of cars. I know there are several cars in a similar price point as the scud that will get you what you are looking for in performance, technology, comfort….. ect. I think a car that you would never consider due to the fact the car will lose value over time but you should look into it is a C8 Corvette Hard Top Convertible and this car has everything you are looking for in your next car at 1/3 the cost and the features on the car with the GT2 Bucket Seats are amazing with the mid engine it gives you the stability on the road and driving through the country roads are amazing. Thanks again for all the content you put out.

[@yorbalindason]

Thanks Ed I’m on an “epic road trip” in my 17 911 from California to Colorado and back with very little interstate- each leg an adventure. Definately helps to experience the car and all the features vs commuting in Orange County.

[@RetardsOfPaloAlto]

Wouldn’t be surprised if the buyer paid more to have Ed give a perfect sales pitch and rundown of the car for when if the time ever comes to sell it lol

[@ProjectFairmont]

I too have had excellent service from my F355F1. I am fanatical about maintenance, but it has exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort, fun and dependability. Some people are afraid to put miles on F cars as it will hurt resale, since most believe a high mile Ferrari to be terminal. Exceptional cars should no doubt be cherished, and driven!

[@hitchedtohorsepower]

One of my clients had a black with gold stripes Scud along with a regular 430 back when they were new. I got to drive both of them, along with his 599 and the 2 Murcielagos he had, and driving them back to back it was crazy how much better the Scud was than the normal 430. Glad you had so much fun with it and can't wait to see what you get next. I'm thinking about doing one of the rallies next year maybe I'll see you on one with the next car!

To me he wants different driving experience. The 458 is too similar. I bet he ends up with a Porsche 964 turbo or another Porsche model. Porsche’s are a reliable car too l. I own a 430 and he is correct it is a reliable car and to be honest the stock leather seats are super comfortable even on a long drive. I think my seats are more comfortable that his Scud seats. My fuel pump and motor mounts needed to be changed. Looks like that is a common problem with these cars.

@@drstevej2527 eh I haven't met any 100k Ferrari owners personally, but they're out there. It's like saying you'll never meet a motorcyclist with over 100k miles on his/her bike. Rare but they exist. Even though it's newer, the 458 is probably the most common Ferrari with over 100k miles since those are pretty bulletproof mechanically. Those high mile cars rarely hit the market though because usually they are bought new or lightly used and then daily driven by one person for several years. I think the craziest high mileage Ferrari out there is the Enzo with 95k miles on it out in Utah or somewhere.

[@drstevej2527]

@@NicholasNormile Compared with Porsche I find that the Italians are rarely used as daily drivers and if it’s the case it comes with huge maintenance costs. The 458 is a great car but it comes with a lot of issues if you opt to daily drive it. In any case Porsche has changed the game in terms of reliability as only Lexus has a higher customer satisfaction rating. I’ve known a few Ferrari who daily drive their cars. All but one was the owner of the Ferrari shop. The other bought a new Ferrari every 2 years. Ferrari simply does not have the R&D to make a true sports car that one can daily drive without a huge investment in repair and maintenance.
