Welcome Rich!
I didnt trade my Ferrari for the 370 but I sold my 360 Spider about 2 months prior. I bought the car with 2K miles from Sacramento...was always a dream of mine to have one but not that I've owned one I will NEVER BUY ONE AGAIN!
I paid $160K OTD which was a little on the high side but it was MINT. A spider with a Challenge Grill, Red paint, fender badges, F1, all records and the red insets in the seats with red stitching.
I sold the car after 6 months for $115K and it was SERIOUS work to sell the damn thing. According to my buddy at DC Motors he said I was lucky to get 105K. I'm still paying for that loss and it makes me sick to my stomach to even remember it but lesson learned (the hard way). I would of kept it but the problems that came up on a weekly basis made me HATE the damn car. Overheating at a drive through, AC not working, damn clicking noise from the front end, constant burning clutch smell from the F1 no matter how careful I launched it.
Ferrari's SUCK...yes I said it! My neighbor has a 430 that I swear gets picked up on a flatbed every few weeks. he paid 330K for it and I'll bet you 100 he can't get 175K for it now. I test drove a Ford GT at the time and should of bought that. Bumped my head on the stupid doors over and over so it didnt make the cut
You'll love your Z. You can put 100K miles on it, mods are cheap and it starts every day. Ferrari's are great to look and sound wonderful but not if you plan on driving them much.. Porsche is my only other favorite, great cars too as long as you have a warranty.
