A high-mileage Ferrari possesses a very narrow appeal, and we would say that the potential buyers fall into two camps. The first camp is after the most car they can get for their money - we get that. Misguided, when it comes to buying a car with extraordinarily expensive repair parts, but understandable.

The other camp, we would say, is pained to see something special go to waste. At this juncture, the featured 1995 Ferrari 456 GT could end up with an enthusiastic new owner, who might tint the taillights, lower the suspension on 19" wheels, cut out the mufflers, and add Ferrari shields to the front fenders. That owner might not put aside the cash necessary for routine maintenance - we've seen listings where this has been the case. Those in the preservation camp are the brave souls who would take on a high-mileage Ferrari and fund the routine and unplanned repairs required to keep the car in its present, outstanding condition.

Clean Carfax.

Yes, these are relatively reliable as far as Ferraris go, but take a look at the recent maintenance history. The seller has clearly spent some serious money keeping up with repairs, as evidenced by the extensive repair list. This list could be off-putting - it's comprehensive, and an indication of what the car will continue to cost to run in the future. But, it's also an indication that the car was cared for meticulously, and that nothing remains unaddressed for a future buyer. Use the maintenance history provided to set expectations for future outlay, and the ownership experience should be very enjoyable.

Regular readers (thank you for reading!) will recall that the 456 GT is one of our absolute favorite cars. It remains the only Ferrari that we have driven ourselves, and we can attest - it drives exactly as one would imagine a manual transmission V12 Ferrari GT drives. We aren't in the market for one ourselves, but if we were, we'd give this one serious consideration. The color combination is handsome, the condition is great, and the price is realistic.
