550 Barchetta's are a different breed. I cannot answer the pricing question but I will say that the 550 BP will become a VERY VERY collectable car in the future. With only 448 there are over twice as many F40's out there.... | ||

I wasn't suggesting that you or the seller ask 160 for it; rather, that is where the market is on somewhat earlier, low mileage cars, and that, unless somebody has to have essentially a brand new one, they can buy the same car for a lot less than you will be asking. Based on your pricing, what's my barchetta worth? | ||

Martin: As someone who looked extensively at these cars earlier this year, your $205,000 seems reasonable-but only for someone who has to have what is essentially a new car! But I doubt very seriously that there's another 5,000-10,000 more. I agree that $160,000 would be a ridiculously low price and that you could trade it to another dealer for a heck of a lot more than that. Even with the drop in prices, I can't see letting that car go for less than $195-200,000. | ||

The factory sticker on this car was $ 223,900. We have listed the car now at $205,000 but I feel there is another $5,000 in it, maybe $10,000. The car is immaculate. I will have some pictures on my website in a few days. The seats are still covered, the car is garaged and covered. He still has the plastic bag that all the extras came in for crying out loud! | ||

Maranello prices have plummeted in the last year and a half;pristine,low mileage 99's are in the 160 neighborhood from dealers, so should generally be less than that. This seller may want more, because it is a newer car, and has little more than delivery miles, but frankly, i don't think it is worth the premium the seller is likely to want over a 99. (If you look at asking prices for this, per FML, you will see prices above 190). They are great cars, though, but i don't think we've seen them bottom out. (also, car is not at its best in red; i had one in that color combo, and like black, pozzi blue (harris imports lists what looks like a nice one; can't vouch for that dealer though), or silver. (FOA has one and asks 205 for a 99:- at that price they will have it until it becomes an antique). | ||

I just came back from a client that has a 2001 550 Maranello with only 560 miles. Red/tan with all options from the factory except the carbon package. red pining in the tan Daytona Leather seats, 3 piece rims, red calipers and so on. What is a reasonable price for this car. The car is titled and luxury tax is paid!  |
