That is why your CGT will not enjoy a resurgence in price. They no longer are considered as building exotic cars. Porsche is the German equivalent of GM but for sport cars. I suspect it will continue to depreciate in value as the warranty runs its course.
If you believe your car will go up in price your smoking something.As far as the total package is concerned, the CGT has a pedestrian sound unless under full acceleration. Even then it is not that noticeable while in the car. Additionally ,the CGT interior is small and tight and other than passengers, nothing fits in it. As one owner commented "my wife did not have room to take her little dog for a ride." Also there is no luggage space.
The CGT is not easy to drive and has been involved in several single car accidents. You need constant vigilence in order not to kill yourself. The car is too powerful without adequate safety devices. Its ride is jarring and very uncomfortable. I found no fun in driving the car. One lapse of judgment and you end up in the weeds or worse hospital.
There is a reason why the CGT is in the dumps when it comes to value. People recognize the car for what it is; a street legal race car primarily for very accomplished drivers mainly professionals. Most moneyed people understand this and consider the car radioactive.
Finally I have driven the CS often and I prefer my 430. Your F40 is a quite a car but only for the best of drivers. BTW, are you aware that a British magazine raced the F40 against the 430 around a track? Guess who won.

One second quicker in the quarter mile is an eternity. The CGT would be at least 10 cars ahead during that short distance. At higher speeds, it will start pulling numerous bus lengths on the 430.

Im already half way through my 2nd bag of popocorn, keep it coming!
Nomatter what driver you put in the 430, the CGT will always pull away. The 430 wasnt TOO far behind, I thought it actually did well considering its weight and power defecit....and possibly driver defecit.
Nostradomis, I mean Nick might be right about ressale value but I think if you own a CGT you dont give a ****. Maybe Ferrari owners care more about resale than driving
That said I wouldnt mind owning a 430 with flappy paddles although I would prefer a GT2 with manual trans.
