| after experiencing the CGT Im deffently down for light weight, bare bones, raw, brutal, CF tub cars all the way. Does anyone know anybody with an F40 I can talk to? See there car perphaps? Maybe get a ride?? Possible swap rides if they are crazy enough?? The Diablos days are numbered one way or another. Its like the NSX, abosultely amazing (though less perfect) but it just cant compete. And if anyone see one for sale under 425k please let me know  Im no gonna pay that much, but its a reasonable point to haggle em down into reality  | |

| Ive found one, but its like pulling teeth to get any info to me from my broker talking to his broker talking to him. Two weeks later and all I know is hes come down 10k. I still dont have a VIN, maintance records, past history or damage or not, what kind of upgrades were done to turbos and whatnot ect. If everything is inline, with upgrades they are asking a fair price. And after talking with Brian its about the same cost to keep running as my Diablo and more reliable as it doesnt have any electronics really aside from boost/back preasure/ fuel mixutre stuff with aftermarket exhausts. would be nice to trade the Diablo in and get this we shall see...... | |

Ferrari claims like 2600, but they are a good 3000-3200 in the US it is cool to look at the LM/GTE race cars vs street, escpeically with no muffler BS | |

| lol the one Im looking into now is at 385k, which is more than I want to spend BUT has turbo, brake, seat, etc upgrades which I would do anyways, so I can justify a lil more. Im sure they will come down a good bit more as its at 11k miles and doesnt have full records, been on the track, and 5 owners. None of which I car about, but alot of Ferrari nancys are looking for garage queens. 11k miles over 20 years is not alot at all, except for F40s its kinda high milage  after the Diablo low milages problems, I want nothing to do with anything under 10k miles no matter what the price, in fact if its over 20k miles even better!! finding F40s is hard (even though they made the same number of CGTs and they are everywhere) let alone high milage ones, so I may be waiting a bit. On top of that in 07/08ish they were 450-600k cars, but back from 01-06 they were 315-385k cars makes buying now hard to justify as they are on their way down again | |

| Dan.... this was posted on F-chat... one for sale Ferrari F40 ZFFMAN34A0L0086438, the 39th USA F40 built by Ferrari SpA in July 1990. Red with red seats. Original flawless paint with original unblemished standard seats (replaced by red OEM units for driving whilst the originals are preserved as shown below). Original steering wheel and shift knob also preserved and present. 6,200 miles. Tubi cats delete with Tubi Sports exhaust, original factory exhaust and cats are with the car. $17,000 major engine-out service performed at local authorized Ferrari dealer about 200 miles and 2 seasons ago. All deferred maintenance brought up to date. Fresh Michelin Pilot Sports fitted. Scrupulously maintained & detailed, this F40 is garaged in a climate-controlled room as shown below. As indicated by the miles covered in the last 2 years, the car is rarely driven and the current owner desires that it goes to a home where it will be enjoyed more often. The car's owner has today authorized me to clarify that this car can only be purchased in a private sale via myself, and any representations by other parties are not a means to purchase this car. I have personally known this car for several years, and have personally put hands & eyes on her in several careful inspections. The car is local to me, 10 minutes away. All images posted below were taken by myself at the owner's home, are strictly copyright to Joe Sackey Classics LLC, and are not to be used for any other purpose other than viewing to develop interest in the aforementioned vehicle. This F40 is in my estimation the very best car available in the country for a very fair market price. All principal interested parties please contact me directly via e-mail below. joe@joesackey.com __________________ | |

| Another F40 hit the market: $525k 14,300 miles. On Ferrariads.com This is an excellent F40 that we believe is now worth selling, as we also think these cars are appreciating rapidly. Investment quality cars are way, way up if Barrett Jackson and so on are any indication. If a Hemi Cuda is worth 1.7 million, surely the last Enzo era Icon (he died shortly after the 1987 European debut of this masterpiece) and arguably first of the outlandish supercars is worth 1/3 as much. Anyone serious enough to consider this car should know the basics - 478 hp twin turbo V-8, no power anything, no traction control or ABS, and only 211 ever built for the US market. Carbon Kevlar body and interior panels over tube frame construction and race-car-oriented design features abound. This car has now passed the magic 20 years that usually end the depreciation cycle and the build numbers make it a candidate for continued appreciation. Heck, even the European cars are all north of 385K euros and there are over 1000 of them. The only cheaper car, as far as I know, is Roland Linder's car that was resurrected from a burned hulk and he wants $350K for that one. I am not aware of a single F40 listed worldwde at a lower price and this one is this low only because of the "high" miles - egad! - 700 miles per year on average! Frankly, I think the miles indicate at least some care and feeding, as sitting around is horrible for a car. Also, look at it like we did - with a "high" mile car you can use it as more than an objet d'art and enjoy the way it feels, sounds and moves without cringing that you turned your 3000 mile show queen into "just another" used F40. Please note that this is not a distressed sale, so please respect that. This car has been properly serviced and cared for. In 2009-10 it received: Full Service, including cam belts, most all engine seals, fuel pumps, fuel tanks removed and cleaned, injectors (all 16) serviced, fuel filters, all fluids changed, complete nose to tail inspection with more items than I can recall off the top of my head, but no corners were cut. Tires New clutch Rebuilt alternator Seats re-upholstered with proper Nomex from Re-Originals. This F40 is extremely original, even the passive restraints still work. The only modification is the Tubi exhaust. No one has butchered the car for speakers, radar detector or the like. The car is not perfect - it has some stone chips and the patina you would expect on a well-loved, but driven car that is 20 years old. It runs and drives as it should and we welcome any inspection you like. It runs cool even in Texas summer heat, has the explosive power you would expect from twin turbos and light weight. It comes with a new OEM front splitter, but I say leave the old one on for the inevitable scrapes (that is what we did). I can also put serious buyers in touch with the well-respected mechanic who did all the work on the car while we have owned it. | |
