I always thought that my dream of owning a Ferrari FF would be the most difficult one to attain, even with financing and stuff, and even with having a huge house in Austin TX on the same list, but today I felt really homesick and I felt that it would be pretty cool to have a house in Hong Kong, where I was born.
Googled real estate prices and put in the places where I would want/dream for the Hong Kong house to be (Repulse Bay and that area).
71 MILLION DOLLARS USD. I DID NOT EXPECT THAT.
Have a Ferrari FF in my dream configuration for your time

Damn!
A used Ferrari is way more attainable than luxury real estate!
You can get a 612 with a gated shifter for $100K. It's almost as cool as an FF :)

Wagon vs. Gated Manual.
The struggle is real.

Believe it!
It's got a lot of miles and is expensive to maintain.
You could probably talk them down to $35K
Now I want it, haha

GET IT. GET IT FOR GLORY. I'm still a college student, so I'll have to wait until 430s are that price in the future.

Haha I wish 6MT 430s got that cheap. Probably won't ever happen. They are too rare compared to F1 cars

How about the 575M Superamerica. Will those ever be relatively affordable? I always loved the flip over roof.

Haha my guess is no.
Would be awesome though!
A high mileage 6MT 550 or 360 can be somewhat affordable

The good thing about 550's is that I think all or most of them are MT. However they seem to be 10-20K more than 456's.

I think you're right. The 456 had an option for a slushbox and a lot of buyers went for it. But the 550 didn't have that option and I don't think the F1 was an option on it.
The problem with the 550 and 456 is the maintenance costs. I've been reading about it and they can be much higher than a simpler classic Ferrari like a 328. The big V12 cars are heavy and this causes a lot of parts to wear out quickly. And the engine out services cost a pretty penny.
The 6MT F430 is one of the cheapest modern Ferraris to maintain. It's reliable and doesn't use timing belts. If only one could be had for $75K. I'd get a long term loan for one in a heartbeat. But the only cars under $100K are super high mileage F1 cars or salvage title cars.

Nice!
My old man has one. I get to drive it sometimes.
We were originally going to share it. I was going to split the monklt payments and parts costs. But it wasn't practical. He doesn't want to share. And after we got it I had to save up for a house so I wouldn't have been able to split the payments anyways
Every time I drive it I get so jealous! I wish I could bring it to my house whenever I wanted to

So is that where you get your username from? Even so, count me as jealous!

Haha it is related to my username. I'm not on that loan but I want to get a loan one day so I can afford an exotic car.
My dad got a regular 5 year loan but I wouldn't be able to afford those payments. With a 144 month loan I might be able to. But I have to pay off other debt and save the down payment first!
