@@user-rl3ef4ju9k what a blast from the past! Tbh I'm nowhere near that old goal but that's not a bad thing either. So much has happened in my life since then.

It's nostalgic looking back where I was in life when I made that comment, only been a couple of years but if you work hard you'll end up somewhere better even if it's not where you thought the map was leading you.
I had to deal with the same sticky interior which was very annoying. There is a release button for the seat btw. You can see it at 3:30 on the top of the seat.
Take off all the parts in a day, acetone everything, and paint with high quality trim paint, using an adhesion promoter. Kinda weird how this was an early 2000s problem and they still gets using the same coating that turns to gel after a while
It's use of wrong chemicals. My Maserati was fine. Many years. I brought it once to an other garage... And they put some 'renewing' chemicals on the rubbery things.. And since the the stuff begun to get sticky. Probably has to do with emollient..
The stickiness may be plasticizer sweating from the plastic, or the plastic may be polyvinyl chloride which is notorious for being sticky. I am curious if the plastic also smells bad. PVC will not only produce a residue over time, but it also stinks. It's outgassing plasticizers that produce the fog on the inside of the windows in all cars.
love my 599. how much time you need to remove that dash on the 599 for leather remove and replace due to leather shrinkage ? cant really find any videos on this
I guess that fitting a high end gt car with such sticky stuff is just linked to low quality control more than to mere cost control. It's likely a sort of mindset that could still be hardly accepted in the 90es when customers were dealing with several luxury sport cars being roughly finished,but for sure it's unacceptable in a 21th century Ferrari.

I suffer all these issues on my 599. My centre console buttons are sticky and also now illegible.

I'm a 911 owner and collector first and foremost, just fell in love with the the lines of the 599 and strayed. Ill keep it regardless of the issues but dislike the company
I'm considering buying a used Ferrari but the finish issue would drive me nuts. Would it be possible to get it fixed? Maybe put a clear wrap over those parts?
I kept track of their prices for years and just checked for the first time in years and they were down from 160-180k+ to around 110k with ultra low miles

Made in italy is the best for looks and sound. If you don't mind quality issues, electrical issues, component failure, cheap glue that is used to glue the leather and upholstery, cabin noise and clicking sounds from the dash board when driving. If you are ok with all that then its the best.
They are indeed very special and there is no other brand that has the glamor of "Ferrari". But... I think I would opt for a Porsche 991.1 GTS Targa. My God are they beautiful and also very performing. Ok, maybe slightly less quick than the 599 but almost equally as beautiful. But the big difference to a Ferrari is that you can rely on the Porsche, you know that you will arrive...

Drove it for many days
