or
2001 360 F1 Red on Beige with 8000miles $83000
The R8 is in S.Naples FL and I'm headed down there to test it this weekend (happened to coincide with Monday/Tuesday business in FL).
The other is from a dealership that my coworker bought his Ferrari from...Marshall Goldman. He raves about them and their professionalism, but my issue is with the maintenance of the 360. I have heard horror stories about the mid engine prancing ponies and I am hesitant, but the price is on point.
I have dreamed of owning a Ferrari since I was a kid and this 360 would truly fulfill the "Red Ferrari wet dream".
The R8 just seems more practical. An Audi dealership is down the road from where I live, all modern features, AWD, plenty of "wow" factor, and less problems.
But.....the other is....a FERRARI...  |
The R8 is WAY overpriced for what you get. This is the same basic motor as the RS4 which is basically the same as an M3. The Ferrari is just too dated and is an underperformer by today's standards. Really....you will disappointed even compared to your M3.
Honestly for $90-100k, I would look for a 2007-2009 911 turbo.
