What to do...sell 360? Keep? Or trade towards McLaren...

Spider Jeff · Oct 15, 2017

For what it’s worth, my son has a 997tt that he trades me occasionally si he can drive my gated spider, both of us agree the Ferrari is more fun to drive.
I’ve owned over fifty cars, this specific car is the first one that solved my constant itch for another car.
The only one close was a mid year vette roadster, for the exact reason, it was simply a blast to drive. To each his own, don’t be surprised when you see the McClaren in the garage and wish you had your Ferrari back!

When I was young my father as a graduation present offered me a choice of watches. A new Rolex submariner and an early example from the late 50s/60. I picked the new one. He stopped and said choose wisely. The new one is for the man you are and the vintage is for the man you will become.

When I finished training in 2002, I passed on a 365 GTC at 90k for a new 996 c4s for roughly the same. When I traded it in six years later I got 40k while The 365 was selling for over 200k.

New passes. Classic remains. Don’t sell the 360 6 speed for 80k.

Lease the 720.

This is what I was talking about. Everyone here has perspective that I don't have.

At this point in my life I may not be able to drive the 360 or enjoy it the way I should, but given it's the exact spec and everything I like, I get this feeling I'd be making a mistake by letting it go.

Perhaps I'll find a way to do both. That may be the best answer, but will require some patience.

Also, I got my first speeding ticket in my 'slow' 360.

I would agree if it does pleasure u sell it... but i would say u might be slightly missing the point of a Ferrari here.
I got a testarossa and a s63coupe.
The s63 is faster, shifts like crazy, handles like glue on the road whilst massaging my back...
Yet the testarossa, its sound, the scare it gives me when i push it is irreplaceable, that gated shifter...
Ideally if i were u i would keep the ferrari, get a newer model like a mclaren and ur fast wagon that way u have it all

My holy trinity is the Porsche I have, the Ferrari I have, plus a McLaren.

Wagon is a bonus

Part of me wonders if I was trying to suppress my enjoyment in order to move on from it. I keep staring at in the garage...man. It's my dream spec too.

thank you all for indulging me in my first world 1% difficulties..
