Doesn't hurt that they can be had relatively cheaper ($150k-$250k range).

I'll keep the F430 in mind! I definitely love how it looks. Here in Georgia you can find one with a clean title, good service record, and no accidents (as long as theyre honest) for anywhere from $120-$150k. I remember when I first were looking into them, my wife next to me was surprised by how "modern" it looks, of course we know that means timeless design. However, she has this odd stigma that getting a much older Ferrari says we are cheaping out to be part of the brand. For car enthusiasts like us on the forum, this is not true and I don't care about what other people's negative thoughts are on this piece of heritage... but she does, and happy wife is happy life. I'll bring it up again and see how she feels in a test drive. I appreciate both of your inputs! I almost forgot about the f430 and how great it is!
