If your going to pay $150,000 for a car shouldn't it be unique and offer something special?
Since when is a new Ferrari $150,000? More like $200K +
The new 997TT can be had for $123K, and it is special, they only sell a few thousand a year in the world! Just not as special as a car 50%+ more expensive of course

People with money, connnections and substantial resources beg, plead and grovel to get one. Yet they are unable to do so.
They don't beg to buy one, they just need to pay more than the list price. In NY there is no waiting list for people with their checkbook open.
They are not "chasing" a Ferrari, most don't want to pay $250,000 for something that you can buy for $150,000 in Europe, or if you are good "friend" with a dealer (ie run a legal scam reselling your used cars while buying a new one cheap).
Sometimes people listen to their sense even if they can afford it.
And a lot of these rich people didn't get rich by throwing $100K over MSRP on anything, especially a car.
Last, the real question you should ask is: "If you could buy both cars at MSRP, which one would you choose?"
As long as I have a nice daily driver (997S cab
) I would take the F430 for the w/e
