Want to own a Used Ferrari?

Wait till 2006.Schumi and Barrichello's Ferraris are for sale during that time.All it takes is hard cash dudes.My guess is that whoever becomes the owners if they ever want to sell-and that is a very BIG IF it will be up for auction on an eBay or Sothebys or Christies.

The conservative price estimates are for 4 such F1s were describ­ed in a sales packet handed out to potential Clienti at the recent Monterey Historic event. Newest on the list was the F2003-GA in which Barrichello won last year’s British GP. Price was €1.5 million (about $1.82 million), not including tax. That car was still under a two-year “technological moratorium” designed to keep Ferrari secrets away from Minardi and Jordan, but it can be released next Jan. 1.

The other three were 2002 models, which could be taken home right away. Prices were €1.4 million apiece ($1.7 million) for two that had each won a single Grand Prix, and €1.5 million for a two-time winner. Note an extra victory is worth another $120,000 on the résumé.

The red missile comes with a complete set of the ancillary equipment needed to make it work—tire warmers, coolant and oil pre-heaters, pneumatic-valve air compressor, hydraulics unit, even a set of jacks.

Thats not all friends - To cover administrative costs, Ferrari Racing Owners are charged annual dues of €1,000, about $1,200. This entitles buyers to have their cars custom-fitted, and to drive shakedown laps at the factory’s Fiorano test track. Owners can send their mechanics through service training, too—the rumor is not true that a factory tech must be on-scene whenever the car runs. Once they learn how, anyone can operate an F1 Ferrari and one would do well to remember it’s not a space shuttle, it’s a car.

For more info well get in touch with Ferrari the dream machine makers in my opinion.
