Allegedly a UK car recently traded at all but a million bucks !!

 

$200k over MSRP doesn't seem bad at all in today's market.

Might be using the tow hook (?)

 

They are ranging from $640K to as much as $800K depending on the regional market and actual MSRP and color.

 

I've seen one for sale in my neck of the woods in the past year. Asking price was ~$800 if I recall correctly.

wow

 

notwithstanding the uniqueness of the Aperta - it will come down materially in the next 1-2 years - it will not be immune to the normal decline.

 

That is ridiculous.. completely clocks the airflow required for the radiator.

 

So what's normal?

 

Not certain of that. Moving forward the V8's will be tt or hybrid so the 458SA is it for the NA V8 and are a limited edition. How high prices will go is anyones guess but it's doubtful that they will follow the normal depreciation curve of a standard v8 model. In all fairness, I am partial and therefore biased.

 

Asking $925k

I believe you are wrong. Only way they will come down is if there is a correction (and a big one) across most markets. Otherwise the 458 Aperta will be immune to normal decline. Im not saying the $1m car will sell but i believe they ones at $600-700k will and will stay around that price. I dont think we will see them going back to MSRP.

499 made (Or very rare in today's world)
Last N/A V8 Spider and LE car....

This was a collector car from the beginning.

 

big, big bubble. made worse still if production numbers are greater than advertised, which Ferrari have historically done.

 

Not anymore with the IPO.

 

Stop for a moment and think about what you just said.



Holy crap. That's a lot of coin.

 

It's all relative......a lot for some.....drop in the ocean for others.

 

Yeah I know. I fall into the former.

 

I passed at that level, and not regretting. Hope I dont, but i firmly believe that in the next recession all these inflated prices come down. Toys sell off real fast. Ask Barrett Jackson.

 

We all have to ask ourselves what we are really buying these for. There is that attraction we can't get away from which is thinking the car may make us some money. But will it make you happy? Or will another car that you aren't afraid to drive and you aren't holding on to hoping for some continued increase in value above what the original owner already made give you more life enjoyment.
Anyone who has the money and space for a collection, should have one of these in my opinion. They look and are awesome. But for those of us who want to drive the cars a bit and have fun, the collectible Ferrari's are not the right choice. I have been there and while I wish I could have kept my last one, I absolutely cannot wait for my new one.
Any way you look at it, $1MM for a car is a lot of coin. And if anyone who buys is hoping it will go up more, they will think twice every time they want to drive it.

And for what its worth, that white Aperta for sale is absolutely stunning to my eyes...wow is it nice. But the owner only got to put on a staggering 150 miles from delivery...

 

There are 2 cars in Switzerland being shown privately for just over $600k and not selling for months. I do agree that the market has peaked and will come off. Recent auction results show that only the very best collectables (e.g. 288 GTO) are holding value, while the newly fashionable (Testarossas and 512 TRs, GT3 RS, Merc SLS) are finding no bids. An Aperta is in the middle and i don't think it will ever trade down to MSRP, but perhaps it will find its spot at 450-500...I also think 599 GTOs will come down to sub $500. Speaking to dealers here, business is far from exciting this spring...
Not a reflection of either car of course. I have owned both and they are terrific, I just think the market bubble is about to go pop. I have decided to keep cars that I really like (e.g. my SLS and my LFA, among others), so that it won't bother me when their value drops!
