  if yes, i know which maserati ur talking bout. lol

  yup, year 2.

  it was my first time seeing a GT up close, and i totally liked the rims' crown design.

  *regarding the Veyron, there was a rumor over at HWZ weeks ago that there's a SG buyer. i would say keep fingers crossed til we see it.

  there are alot of speed traps!!

  You know the Royal Bros? They said they were buying a Veyron. But they're 'dying' now, cos they have a lot of bank overdrafts and loans.

   

  Edit: By the way, I realised I haven't answered your question. A lot of these people don't buy it so they can drive it. Its just ego, for owning such a car. That's what I always feel when those people tell me what lambos, ferraris and astons they have. Pah, so egotistical.

  If I get the chance to see one, nevertheless, and have my camera, hope not the iPhone, I will definitely snap it. Will be very cool!

  ? I thought that Maserati GT is very common in Singapore? How come your lecturer can have a Maserati. You are in which faculty?

  There are buyer-s in Singapore. I have seen the Bugatti before... But not in Singapore. The sound is very nice. Even if it came to Singapore, probably will never get the chance to see it. The owner'll probably put it in a bubble wrap in his Nassim Rd house.

   

  Seems like a lot of people have seen the Pagani I took a picture of the other time, already. Guess the picture I took in the night during F1 isn't very clear. Going to Hong Seh after exams. Why don't they put the Enzo there anymore? I didn't see it the last time I went there.

  compared to you guys, i know nuts about cars, just that whenever a rare car pops up, i will go read up info on it, or clarify my doubts here. seldom go out, so i don't see much rare cars around, so i don't know about their exclusivity at all :)

  There is/was an Enzo displayed at the Science centre for a Formula 1-related exhibition. At first i thought it was from TG, cos they used a different shade of red to blank out the front plate area where TG also place his custom plate, coincidental? but since it's not at HS, then it must be still at Science Centre or deported away already.

  base price is 850k coupe & 900k spider .. before options .. which will probably set you back an additional 30/50k depending on want you want.

  They don't have a Veyron...

  Maybe, but they said the had planned to get one, anyway.

  Oo.. That guy owns a Ferrari. Rich man. 

  Where do you live? Nassim? White House? 

   

  Edit:

  You must be a banker? Which bank do you work at? Normally, businessmen won't buy ferrari, just get a merc and a driver..

  How's the market circumstances, is it affecting you? Bad or no?

  500-600K is definitely not a few F430, but wouldn't that be a fair price for a used F430 with decent mileage? Especially in these hard financial times

  Hehe. All the Ferraris will go on sale, for cheap prices. Those bankers who have their own investments will.

  I hope some Lamborghini comes up. Rather not wait for the waiting list anyway. Just get a pre-owned.

  dipsomaniac is a rich guy. Has F430 spider. lucky dude.

  fyi early F430's are still selling for well above 600k, even in this market environment. 500-600k is definitely still F360 territory. oh & dipsomaniac isn't a rich guy, just a lucky guy

  You're waiting for Lambo's to come up? Well I know there's 20+ gallardo's currently on the market, plus 2 murcies and 3 LP640's. Compare that to half a dozen F430 & 612's, and 1 F599 (that I know of) and you can see why Ferrari's hold their value far better than the Lambo's.

   

  As I always say; you marry your Ferrari, a Lambo is just to have an affair with.

  Smart ForTwo. Possibly in "Pulse" trim. It has a weird looking numberplate.

  

  Honda S2000.

  The Smart For Two is RD number plate, for research. They are diesel hybrid, look carefully, they are all left hand drive. There are a few of them, sometimes you will see them running around town.

  Oh right my bad, guess ths F430's are still holding value very well and deservedly so. With 20+ Gallardo's on the market, would some of the earlier ones be going between 500-600k?
