Good info Darren!


I'm just going to say this about the expensive repairs.... I'm trying to add "perspective" here is all.

I have some pretty expensive cars... S63AMG - Porsche Cayenne Turbo - Audi R8 Spyder....Range Rover... and owning a used Ferrari scares ME!


Not because I couldn't pay the bill -- or keep the car perfect... but because the repairs / expenses would exceed the cost of the purchase with just 3 or 4 "incidents". That just doesn't make any sense to me.

I think a guy is "smarter" buying a newer version and making payments than he is buying a pre 360 and getting caught in the repair cycle. That becomes one of those toilet bowls of "Well... we just spent X fixing X1... so I might as well go ahead and fix X2 now..." Then X3 comes along... and you've had the car 3 years and driven a whopping 10,000 miles? OMG!
