You have to also add in storage, taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Most likely a negative ROI even with some appreciation.

If you're purchasing this absolutely animal of a car to keep it locked up in a cage, you don't deserve the right to buy it.

Don't be silly, the only right involved in this transaction is the one to pay for it.

When you are on your death bed, you reflect on your past and your going to think:
"Damn I wish I got most out of the GTS" and money won't even matter anymore I don't see the value in buying cars to have it appreciate over time and not using them This is directed to anyone having their cars sit in their garage

I find it odd that so many people think they will get 1 of 300 cars in the US. Dealers will pick and choose who gets them. My buddy works at Porsche and the damn list for a GT3 RS is a mile long, and I refuse to pay 328k for a car that books at 201k it's insane.

You should bring your moralizing to the Ferrari forum. I'm sure they would appreciate and respond to your view, since "keeping it locked up in a cage" is precisely what new Ferrari owners do.

A $150k property will not appreciate $100k in just a few years IMO.

My view is it will not appreciate at all with the CSL thing already in the horizon...
Then the next M3/M4 with even better techno stuff... To appreciate it really need to drive special and perhaps a homologation special of a winning race car...which it isn't! Just small production numbers alone won't do it. |

please don't.
You have $134k to blow and want to "invest" it on an item that'll depreciate the moment it is in an accident, doesn't quite sound like an "investment" does it? Seriously, if you have that much money to blow, let me know, I got some florida swamp land for you to buy off of me. If the past history with the 1M is of any indication, you might be able to buy it, drive it sparingly for about 1-2 years and eat almost no depreciation. But consider the ownership experience will be like walking on eggshells. You'll be afraid to take the car out when it's wet, or busy, or dusty, or this or that....then what's the point?

I received the following text from my Dealer today. "We just spoke with our BMW Rep. He is telling us that if we have anybody remotely interested in the GTS we (The Dealer) would need to send in a (driver) biography and get put in the running for the GTS. There is no guarantee to receive the GTS" (since production is limited). Interesting. Cheers, Chris

If true, a classic illustration of bubbleheaded over management. Of one freakin' car?!!
