would you buy a silver 348,355, or 360

zelyasi · 03-02-2010, 09:53 AM

Hello out there. I'm a newbie and getting excited about my new Ferrari. One of my important decisions in purchasing a Ferrari is the ease of reselling it when I want another one. So I wanted to get a feeler if silver was a color that would be a deterent in anybody's decision for buying a Ferrari.

not in the slightest. Actually any color that rocks your boat is fine. and as far as resale goes, most associate Red/Tan with Ferrari but many excellent combinations out there.

It's very simple. You want a silver one, yes? Well, in X years' time, there'll be another one like you wanting to buy a silver one.

Onno

Welcome to Ferrari Life Zelyasi!

Buy and drive whatever makes you happy. Never buy a Ferrari with the next owner in mind. It's your own personal experience. As for silver, that's one of the safe favored colors anyway.

Agreed. Buy the colour you like.

A few years back, I owned a 2001 titanium 360 coupe with a black interior.
I loved the color combo. Looks great in the bright sunlight.

Here is a pic or two of it:

My personal opinion...If your buying a ferrari with the thought of resale as an important variable to the transaction, you are making a mistake. Its about the passion not the money.

Silver can look very nice.

It was a very popular car for 2000 due to the millenium.

Almost any color Ferrari is nice.

You buy what floats your boat. Forget what others think.

....whew I saw any color Ferrari looks nice....thank God I saw almost before I started posting: pink, chrome, purple, and gold Ferraris. That could've been a disaster.

Assuming you like Silver, why not.

Silver/red is one of the classic combos in my mind. but red/tan for resale value.

zelyasi · 03-03-2010, 10:23 AM

Thanks for all the help everyone. I had a buddy of mine that used to have a 360 tell me that people typically dump silver Ferrari's when they resell, but based on the responses I don't see that.

So what? Even if they dump the silver ones, who cares? You're not in it to make money I hope? Enjoy the silver, or whatever other colour, it's the car that counts...
