Depends on which model....since Ferrari has a 4 year waiting list....and you can put down the minimun 10%-15% Deposit ($25K-$40K??) to get on the list...and get ZERO Miles for 4 years and stand in line like a minion, I'd say per mile per year, the Ferrari costs an insane amount (What's the interest on $25K-$40K cash for 4 years, plus the humiliation of being a minion??) as compared to a Lamborghini that you can either buy off the floor or order to spec and take delivery of in about 6 months..

If you're talking used cars, you'll have to be more specific about Models.

Yea I know....every time a "how much bla bla" thread pops up it fields a whole new set of answers....one guy thinks $1MM Dollars for a postage stamp is a deal, and another guy thinks $5 for a spark plug for his $250K car is a rip off....there's really no making sense out of it all based on a first post with so little background info....so why not just treat it as humour until there's enough for us to treat it seriously.

I didn't really see that from my post but you're exactly right.....our "passion" is what really drives us, not how much for an oil change. We Want What We Want, and we work hard enough & smart enough to get it! We;ve saved owners literally Millions of Dollars by banding together and sharing our knowledge, but this is because of our "passion" to own what we want to own, which is a LAMBORGHINI!! 99% of all the people here either had the Car or the Passion first, and found this Community & our resourses second. This forum wasn't started about money, it was started about "passion" and to keep our fellows from getting ripped off. We still spend what we need to spend (and exotics of any type aren't cheap), we just don't need to get hijacked by theives any longer.

Uhhhh...this is 2006 (not 2004) and this year is fading fast....2007 will be upon us before we know it. Time Flys When We're Having Fun!

You're comparing a 12 Cylnder Lamborghini.....Their FlagShip Model, against Ferraris 8 Cylnder Bottom Rung Model.

oh boy spaggetti ooooohhhhhsssssss....

How long do you plan on owning one? What type of milage do you expect to accumulate during ownership? Who do you want to Impress?
