Question Would you buy a Ferrari imported from China or Japan?
For context, I'm shopping for a 458, but prices where I live have gone crazy, especially for the Spider. Importing one from China or Japan seems to come with a real discount, and shops there can get the car fully sorted for relatively little before shipping: worn parts replaced, preventive maintenance done, and so on.
What I'm not sure about is whether that discount follows the car when I go to sell it. I haven't seen much discussion on this, so I'm curious: would you hesitate to buy a Ferrari that spent its earlier life on the other side of the world?
