My feeling is that the 430's will not getting much of a premium once the novelty wears off.(a year or so) It's a great car but it is a lot of $$ and there will be some stiff competition over the next while.



IMO it's the other way round, at least in germany... mainly because of two reasons:

a) F430's brilliant reviews in magazines. the car now attracts not only die-hard ferraisti, but also new customers who never thought about buying a ferrari in the past.

b) the strong demand from eastern europe/russia and asia. from what i've heard, german dealers get less cars than they used to get in the past.
