You're absolutely right about depreciation and perhaps there's build quality issues but the criticisms Jay Leno has about Ferrari are very real and very valid.

You're absolutely right about depreciation and perhaps there's build quality issues but the criticisms Jay Leno has about Ferrari are very real and very valid. I personally am not in the position to buy a new Ferrari but one day I hope to own a used exotic and it won't be a Ferrari. To buy the "good" Ferrari that doesn't depreciate or even appreciates, you must first purchase a number of less desirable Ferraris loaded with options which don't hold their value nearly as well. Mclaren lets anyone who has the money to buy whatever they want witch some exceptions. Ferrari has been known to completely corrupt the review process up to and including specifically preparing cars for reviews. This includes sending a literal team of engineers to prep the car. This means that the car Ferrari gives to reviewers is always certainly better than the ones it delivers to customers. There's even been stories of Ferrari tires literally sticking to dynos. Ferrari also has been nailed for allowing dealerships to rollback the mileage of cars as a service for certain customers. Being able to drive your car 50k miles and sell it as a 5k mile car certainly has resale advantages. Ferraris are great cars, I have nothing against them but the company is about as consumer unfriendly as you can possibly be.
