    262 miles on the clock. Yet another car an owner never enjoyed.

    High spec Aperta. It also has the GTO hood. A shame the owner never drove it. This car deserves better but then again … to each his own. I hope the next owner will put some miles on it.

    Highly doubt someone paying $1.5M for a 262 mile car will put any miles on it.

    Not with that vomit inducing interior. I mean each to their own and all that but yikes what on earth is all that about? No wonder the poor owner decided to leave alone once they had it delivered :D

    That interior would be lovely had they not painted the exterior in Rosso Dino...

    Fair play, I'm happy people see different things otherwise what a boring place the world be. But the spec would drive me nuts. I do like however the GTO hood so not all bad :D

    Agreed. To me, it's a bit of a mess. The basic colours of the interior suggest classy and subtle, but the exterior colours etc. suggest sporty and loud. Not my cup of tea either. Here's what my wife said. "I didn't know Stevie Wonder had a 599SA";) I think the white one looks fab. The price? That's a lot of money for those cars! But I'm sure someone would want one no matter what. A shame to see so few miles on such special cars.

    (Before anyone jump the gun on the morals and ethics of her comment. We have a close relative who is completely blind and I have a cousin with a severe case of visual impairment, nothing malicious was meant towards anyone. We spent the time we can to take care of those around us who are less fortunate than us.)

    For reference one sold for $1.155 at Amelia Island a few months ago:

    2011 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta | Gooding & Company

    What will hurt the value is if Ferrari does an F12 Aperta, which remains to be seen but I don't see why they wouldn't. F12 GTO is being shown this week as it is.

    Sit tight. In January, you can pick this up for at least 30% less.

    Since I am the quintessential contrarian I have to ask .....

    Can we expect solely a 599 SA Aperta "correction" in 5 months or is it all limited series F cars that will decrease in value ? Is the 30% correction based on the overall health of the global economy or some other factor ? If the former, should I short a particular stock ? Why 30% ? Why not a bigger correction ? Is it possible that prices could be enhanced (ie. increase) by a global market correction as investors flee into hard assets such as collectibles ? Since you seem to have a crystal ball enquiring minds want to know.

    I'd love to see prices come down 30% for a SAA!

    Please tell me some lottery numbers to play. What about the Chinese currency? :)

    I don't care for the color spec either but to each their own. I love the SAA!

    They already did a very limited convertible F12: the F60 America.

    I think its an open question on a run out Aperta model but I wonder why would they pass up those revenues...

    I don't have a crystal ball--wish I did.

    When a correction comes--and it always comes--the assets that have moved up the quickest will be the ones to correct quickest. Obviously, they have more to move, having moved up greatly.

    I will post more later, but the makings of a worldwide margin call are coming. Greece was a harbinger. China is starting to crack. Oil and Gold are weaker than one would expect. Goldman -- today -- recommended to move out of growth and in to value.

    Change is coming. I have seen this story before.

    You sound like you know what you're talking about, I am a novice outside my line of work (I'm pretty good at polishing silly cars too lol).

    In my line of work I get to spend time with global companies. I get to spend time with some seriously clever people.

    But here's the thing. Since 2008 everyone who has told me what's going to happen has been very wide of the mark. Up, down, side-ways. Does it make it less scary? Hell no.

    But predictions of big falls or gains I discount. Why? Because the only thing I've learned since 2008 is no one has any idea of the outcome, if indeed there will ever be a single outcome. Our world is now so connected, the amount of information and the speed at which it travels is dramatically different from 2008, and any time in human history. Governments, individuals, corporations are all connected - for good or bad. It means there's a huge number of mega wealthy people - from all political backgrounds who now share the same fear of losing their shirts. Forget the banks, the entire system IMO is now Too Big To Fail.

    Like I said it's scary. But then, I press the starter to my F50, hear that lunatic engine fire or feel the crazy mental amazing surge of boost as the turbos on the F40 cut in or pop into my glorious 599 GTO for a hard charge, and you know what? I give **** :D

    Last year a RHD Aperta sold for £600.000, now one is up for sale around 1M, so the prices of these rare cars are on the up in the UK.

    Agree - just wish you had a crystal ball. Listening to Kramer on CNBC you never know what to buy/sell. Dump growth, buy value, short Chinese stocks, short Apple, blah blah. I say we just drive the heck out of our F cars and screw the value. Let our Estates worry about the value !
