I actually think that sportscar smart money is with Ferrari at the moment. Porsche , esp classics have gone mental. For the price of a 993 4S you get a Ferrari 550 which will destroy the 993 on every single segment. Diff league. 911T are now flirting w 100k which is preposterous. That will get destroyed by a 348 which is 1/2 the money (obviously not L4L car or generation but you get my drift)
Prices for well sorted examples avg mileage.
V8
348 - £45-50k
355 - £60-70k for manuals less F1
360 - £60k for manuals (add 10k if you want red)
430 - £70k
458 - £120k
V12
550 - £80k bullet proof
456 - £50k for manuals not v reliable
612 - £55-60k more exp to run
599 - £85-90k
348/355/550 belt service prices aren’t bad. Belts need to be done every 3 years and add £1k to the price of the service. Engines don’t need to be dropped anymore... at least not at respected indies that aren’t there to bleed their customers dry.
To the point made above I pay £600 for the annual on the 430 / 900 on the 550. Add £300 to that for the major every 3 years

I have said on here many times , that the new software driven volvo is probably more complex than a Ferrari now , and would you take your Ferrari to someone who hasn't been trained to do the necessary work ....
well here we DO have a Ferrari owner . who does do the right thing with his Ferrari but wont with his volvo !
a strange world we live in ...
you do need to negotiate that price down a bit though ... the difference between the 18000 and 36000 service is a fuel filter and Air filter that's all and dont forget the whole car's software gets all the updates and you get breakdown cover all for free....
