Ferrari for Camry Money -- With Cayenne-Sized Bills

The used-car market is drawing attention to a paradox: a 186-mph V12 grand tourer from Ferrari—priced near what buyers might pay for a well-optioned family sedan—while ownership costs can climb like an exotic. The story focuses on V12 GTs from the 1990s that depreciated sharply, including the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage and BMW 850Ci, which can now be found under $30,000. Their low purchase prices didn’t bring low bills, because complex 12-cylinder engines, low volumes, and specialist-only labor kept maintenance expensive. The article highlights the Ferrari 456 GT (1992-2003) with a 5.5-liter V12 making roughly 436-442 hp, about 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, and a 186-mph top speed.
