Father of a friend of mine, abround his early fifties, was planning to buy a 1991 Ferrari F40 for $306,000. The car is old, but the fact that it's a collector's item makes it ever expensive. However, he has supposedly seen the new Aston Martin DB9 in the New York Intl. Auto Show 2004, a car which is both a lot newer, looks a lot more refined and a lot cheaper(EVEN THOUGH IT'S STILL NOT CHEAP).
On the other hand, Ferrari is a lot more powerful and I'm sure it's more fun to drive even though I'm sure one can still get a big thrill from the DB9.
Point of the matter is, I told him to order his DB9 without wasting time. Another issue is the fact that if you order an Aston, you will have to wait for a year or even more until a truck delivers your car directly to your door. If he buys the Ferrari he will not wait, he can drive it around tomorrow.So I'm in a bit of a dilemma myself...What do you guys think?
