Two 993 Turbos I had my eye on, sold this week. You got to be ready to pull the trigger when the right car comes up because the hot ones get sold quickly.
I have test driven two already. Neither of them I would buy.

Hate to say it, especially on this forum, but if I were to pay 150k for a car....it would have a different prancing horse on the emblem....

Today, you could easily buy 2 Ferrari's from 1996-1997 for the same price one 1997 Turbos S will cost you. There is a reason for that!

Very good point, however since my garage could only handle one car it would be of the 360 variety...which is obviously comparing apples to oranges to a Turbo S...just sayin....

Hey IowaS, right now on autotrader, there are about 260 Ferrari 360's for sale. That's more than the number of Porsche Turbo S in the USA. Right now there are probably less than 8 Turbo S's for sale.
You would have no trouble finding a Ferrari for sale. But what about that "engine-out" maintenance schedule!

I was under the impression with the 360 or 430 they had figured out how to keep the engine in the bay and service it. Keeping the cost out of the $10K range.

Well, at $225K, Jerry's car is really a bargain, but only if you refrain from putting any more miles on it.
Unlike a Sinatra, Streisand, Andretti, or McQueen car, people will soon forget who the hell Jerry Seinfeld was.
The only way you'll preserve it's value is NOT to drive it.
At that point, it's really an investment, and no longer a car.
