Until very recently, Ferrari sold a total of 7000 cars a year across all models, and now it’s closer to 9000. Worldwide. The mid-engine V8s are the most desirable models. Even if you do get on the list for one, it may be years before you get it. Figure Ferrari sells 4000 mid-engine V8s a year worldwide. Honda…

Cali? Yes. GT4? Yes. 488? Hell no. I speak from experience, despite being friends with the guy that owns the closest dealership (and asking 2 others).

EVERY car has something that goes a bit wrong with it.

I checked to see if this was the same guy who tried to convince me that people often cross-shop a Camaro SS 1LE, a Mercedes-Benz SLC and a Cayman GT4.

Unfortunately, for an SL 600 you usually want to pay for a good one.

Don’t forget that the M120 V12 was also the most reliable engine Mercedes-Benz has ever produced in terms of warranty claims per units manufactured.

Did. Thankfully I was going with the flow of traffic (about 70) so closing speed wasn’t so bad. Both cars (even my new one) were a write-off though.

In 2005, my car was rear ended on the highway by a Mercury Tracer that was cutting up traffic, while I was in the center lane staying with the flow of traffic. Long story short, my insurance company ended up filing a subpoena to get the data logged when the airbag went off, because her story heavily contradicted the…
