    I worked for Ferrari in Las Vegas when the first two US based media models of the 599 came into our shop. They needed them in town for some promo photo shoots, and they came somewhat incomplete. We had to stick badging and a few other trim pieces on them when they arrived. After a basic PDI, I needed to run it down to our contracted gas station to fill it up for the media team. Man, that car really was something special. In the 430 and 612 era, it was a very sharp car that drove extremely well. I always had a soft spot for that model after that, especially after seeing the media pics hanging in the dealership knowing that I stuck the "Pininfarina" badge on the side myself, lol.

    I know a guy that owned a manual 599. Said the car was awful and he had to get the trans fixed at least twice because it couldn’t hold the power. Ended up with an F12 and couldn’t be happier. The stick 599s are cool if you want to park one and just look at it.

    He had the work done at Norwood, which is local to me (Dallas). They're a VERY good, VERY reputable shop. If we had pulled the trigger on the car we looked at a few years ago, they would definitely have been our go-to shop for it. I'd feel pretty solid about anything that you have one of their invoices for.

      You're not alone. A lot of these more expensive cars, even if they are the "cheapest" one available, is having me either skip the videos entirely, or skip through the majority of the video to see if he talks about another car. He's losing what original made me subscribe all those years ago, and instead turning into just another luxury car youtuber. Even understanding that the market has changed since he originally started and a lot of the cars he used to buy are also just more expensive and collectable now, I'd still rather see them and am just tired of seeing "cheap" 6-figure cars. It's sad, because he started out with a fairly original idea and genuinely seemed to love a lot of the older quirky cars that didn't get much attention, and now he's turned into just another expensive car collector.

    Honestly, I'd say a 599 with a manual conversion is going to be worth, erm, whatever you paid for the car plus the cost of the manual conversion.
    Point being, as long as the conversions are available nobody is going to pay a premium for a car that's already had the work done when they can pay to get it done themselves.
    I guess the best case would be for AMG to stop doing the conversions, which WOULD create a market for cars that'd already had the work done.

    • @herrbrahms
      @herrbrahms 2 роки тому +5

      Sure, but getting the car converted is a hassle, requires driving or shipping the car to Texas, and comes with inherent risk. For something like this, most people would prefer to buy it having already been professionally done rather than having to source the job themselves.

      @@herrbrahms Like I said, the value will probably reflect the cost of the conversion - including the expense of shipping etc.
      The way Hoovie was talking, though, it was like he's hoping a converted 599 will be valued somewhere between factory auto's and manuals.
      Gotta say, if I had the cash I'd DEFINITELY get the conversion done.
      AMG don't produce junk so the conversion isn't likely to cause problems and de-value the car.
      Also, there's a good chance AMG won't be doing these conversions forever and THEN the value of a converted car is likely to climb near that of a factory manual.

    • @DavidColex
      @DavidColex 2 роки тому +1

      @@SiCrewe You are quite right, I won't expect manual conversions to be available for a "reasonable price" for anything more than 7-10 years. Cars like these will become within 20 years a collectors item to be enjoyed sparingly on paid closed roads or race tracks. They will become what horses have become after the advent of the car, so in that context of occasional driving enjoyment the 599 or any similar sporty vehicle will be more desirable as a manual, at least in the vast majority of drivers. Moral of the story: convert your old 'rrari to a manual as soon as possible.

Sounds dumb, but it's actually true. BMW E30, E36, E46 & many M cars, Hellcat, Track Hawk, Jaguar XJR, Bentley's, Aston Martin's, Lamborghini's, Tesla Plaid, Corvette ZR-1's, Camaro ZL-1's, 911 turbo, Porsche SUV's, and so many other cars put their driver into a "feeling" as they use the car. Until you drive one you don't (and can't really) get it. When you drive one, you begin to pick up on it & then before you know it, it all begins to makes sense. For some it's wicked fast, extreme handling, or a Grand Touring experience. For others it's the waves and honks you get while driving it. Still others its the wild repairs and costly dues which you will pay. Being able to drop the top, and cruise around while listening to the song the engine makes when you take off; is your siren-song. When you have that experience, even as a passenger; it makes you accept some frequent & insane repair, maintenance, and even operating costs. $1500 in tires alone just as an example (that only covers one or two cars from my list above) as an annual maintenance issue. Is it a luxury item? Of course.

    In my days as an agency driver, I regularly worked at HR Owen Sports Cars here in the UK. I got to take a few Ferraris of that era to and from the customers, including a handful of 599. I'd say I only like the exterior 80%. I still find the interior fussy looking, particularly the dashboard, despite the great smelling leather. With that said, the fact that is can seriously haul ass, yet be a comfortable daily driver the rest of the time makes it quite special. I quickly developed a soft spot for it. It's not something I would buy if I had the money, but the 599 is still one of my favourite cars I have driven (which is a lot).
    The colour of Hoovie's car is very similar to a BMW 5 series I delivered back to a customer one day. The owner commented to me how gorgeous it looked and how much they loved this "unique" colour. Before driving off with the car, everyone at the dealership was commenting how ugly they thought it looked, and who in their right mind would pick such a disgusting colour. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Unfortunately, I didn't have a bag to put over my head while driving it.

    I recently drove a 599GTB and unfortunately the transmission is pretty bad. I thought SMG-II was bad in my old M5. This was worse, and at one point the car almost stalled coming from a stop sign. And this car was from a local Ferrari dealer that had 2 others. I should've driven the other 2, but was really disappointed and decided to focus on finding an FF, instead. Engine is an absolute gem, though. That's where the money is.

    When the 599 first came out a gentleman brought it to the Watkins Glen Vintage Grand Prix festival. During one of his laps of the old track he tried to goose it just past Milliken's Corner and the car ended up stalled out at the intersection of 4th and Franklin. Hilarity ensued as the computers could not figure out how to put the car back in neutral and 6 people were involved trying to bump start the car.

    I've always loved the Ferrari 599. I understand its design was controversial at the time and many people hated it, but I've always found it to be much better looking than the previous 575M as well as the F12 Berlinetta that replaced it. It's just a shame so many of them came with that terrible sequential F1 transmission.

    To be honest. I also think the V12 Ferrari cars, excluding the LaFerrari, the FXXK and the Enzo, are underrated and i also think they are the best Ferrari cars, despite a few ones being pigs. To be specific. The best ones are from the Ferrari 456 to the 599. Also taking part are the 330 P4, 512 S & M, the 365 GTB4 and the F50. Those times when the V12 still was the norm for Italy

      That, IMHO, is the problem with investment car collectors - they value pristine examples because they don't buy cars to use them, they're just garage queens. So nobody wants to really drive these exotic cars except for special occasions and even then only for short trips. Then add in the compromises of comfort made for the sake of performance and styling...

    I have to add a second comment. This is such a great story and really made me appreciate just how far Ferrari pushed the goals with the 599 of creating a truly great GT car that still let your know CLEARLY you were driving a Ferrari when you wanted to get your rocks off, lol.
    I had a friend that needed his 599 that he had driven to St. Louis back home to get prepped and ready for shipping out for his European tour a group of them were doing. He had to make an emergency trip to California and the car was dropped at a dealer to hold for him. He calls me up and says, “You are literally the only person I trust to bring that thing back. There are no trucks available to get it back to CT in time. I’ll get you a flight and a ride to the dealer where the car is. Will you PLEASE get that thing back home?? PLEASE!!!???” Well, shortly after calling him a total dork for thinking he, as a truly great long time friend, thought had to say please, I was on a plane to St. Louis. I grabbed the car the following morning with a full tank of gas and headed north to Connecticut. That car was an absolutely perfect balance of comfortable road manners and roaring badass all the way home and never gave even a remote impression that I was going to have any problems at all. I totally understood why he drove that car on long trips so often instead of just flying. The trip was an experience, not a boring drive all the way. I’ve seen quite a few 599 with a lot of miles on the clock and I absolutely get it. You can’t help but want to drive it all the time. The experience is just so fulfilling. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

    "$50,000 in service records over the last 3 years." I can't think of a better case to NEVER buy a Ferrari, no matter how big your bank account.

    I've been an avid viewer of yours for several years Tyler and I must admit to being concerned at the change in the value of your content in the past year or so.
    Although it is lovely to get a view and a (vicarious) ride in a car I will never be able to afford to buy, let alone pay the maintenance costs on, I am increasingly finding there is very little in your purchases that I can relate to any more.
    Divulging how much "cheaper" a vehicle is because of its milage etc and then dropping figures like a purchase price of $US130k just cannot and does not compare to the markets us average blokes revolve in - or what you used to be into dealing in either. Similarly, modifying the Ferrari with a manual gearbox, you mention the figure of $40k like it's a drop in the bucket and a no brainer. You said you're not into cars as investments, but I suggest you go back through your catalogue and view a few past episodes where you mention this exact thing as the reason you went through with the deal. The dual Lamborghini purchase was one of the first I recall it being said....and its been used often since.
    Do you remember that $40k is about the cost of a top-end brand new mid-to-large vehicle - even up as far as a top end Audi A3? Most of us consider dropping 40 large on a vehicle to be a significant spend. Similarly, some other vehicles that the Wizard has worked on have had some tremendous bills - most of which a reasonable 5-10 year old family car could be purchased with. I'm glad you can afford it - it is just hard to relate to.
    I am not jealous of your lifestyle and these are not sour grapes I am squeezing. I am truly impressed in the manner in which you have managed to set yourself up - pretty much for life - at such a young age and all credit to you for doing so. I love the looks of the beasties you have and hope you continue to be able to purchase these high-end vehicles. However, sounding grateful to your viewers in one sentence and then waxing lyrical about the beauty and exquisite finish of your newest toy in the next, just don't jibe in my opinion.
    These types of vehicles are not able to be purchased by the masses, whereas what you were videoing several years ago, they did. I understand that as the channel grew, so did your ability to engage your passion for more exotic vehicles. This is perfectly understandable, but at what cost to the channel when these expensive trinkets are all that we see? The channel's focus appears to have changed and it seems to be more about the money than the car and its life in your hands nowadays.
    I'll continue to watch in hope your focus returns more toward to your humble beginnings and I do hope you understand that I'm not being nasty, but trying to point you back toward what drew me to the channel in the first place - your sense of humour, your love of hoopties and the wheeling and dealing within that end of the market. If you choose to stay in the price and exotic segment you are in currently, well, I suppose the season is over and I will move on. All the best.
