I have recently become enamoured with the 550. I desire one. However, my current situation would require me to sell my beloved 308 to obtain one. I'd be getting rid of a car I dreamed of owning when I was a kid, a car that is cheap to own and maintain and trading it in for one that is much more maintenance intensive, more expensive to insure and register and gets terrible fuel mileage.
So I got looking and I found that I could pick up a brand new supercharged Lotus Elise for a price that would allow me to keep my 308. It would have all the benefits of a new car (no previous owners), offer super acceleration and handling and get great gas mileage to boot.
So I guess I am asking, given the choice, would you rather have a 10-year-old Ferrari 550 parked in the driveway or a 30-year-old Ferrari 308 and a brand new Lotus Elise? All comments welcome.
