True.
Ferraris are usually over-done. Technology, materials, development costs - it rise their price very high, and then make it pretty high running costs too.
New Ferraris usually are perfect when they come to market (like 458, 430). So they are great as new cars, and then also good as old car beceause they are great collectionable cars.
But those few years models - like 430, 360 are loosing with modern perfomance sports cars. And are innormous expensive.

What a poor argument, maybe u should said that u're paying for more power,torque, a lighter body, a quicker transimission, indeed a faster car. But not just saying that it's only a Ferrari, both use really good materials into their cars.
