Hopefully they will sky rocket

 

Glad I've got a UK car.

Prices approaching £100k there.

 

Oops

 

Gosh, why, we wouldn't want a major service to be half their value would we?

$50k

 

Christ! You charge $25k for a major?!

No wonder you're doing well.

 

On a good day it would be $25k. Usually they're around $60k becuase such a service would encompass an engine rebuild

 

You were with the upseller too long

 

Whom?

 

no, the other who

 

I've been tracking the 355 for the last year and a half, on car sales only I might add.
There are only a handful listed compared to over 12 for a long while.

Australian delivered car still managed to get over $120k for a good unit.
Recently there were two red ones asking around $100k but seems a bit rough on the edges.

So I think they are due to go up in value due to demand and supply.

 

It is a brave call to think that modern high-production Ferraris have any investment possibility.

The current market has barely discovered 308's and, when the tide inevitably goes back out, all but the glass dry sump versions will be sucking air.

This market comes around every 25 years or so, 355's might be the subject of manic buying in 2040, but unlikely before.

 

Condition of the example in question is pretty much the sole determinant of price in a mass produced Ferrari that is now 20-25 years old. Even a relatively minor service will be circa 10% of the value of the car.
IMHO the 355 will never be collectible, same for all the V8 models afterwards.

 

Which car was that ?

 

I was offered a 355B from a Melb dealer last year for 65k...imported yes, but looked ok. When I quickly lifted it, it suddenly had 'finance issues' on the trade involved and eventually traded for 75 so I heard. Sports Leisure Vehicles in Melb. F*cking C*nts...don't go near them.

 

It is VERY fortunate that I haven't had anything to drink tonight.

I will eventually be writing and making public my experiences with them.
Will probably set up a website...

For now all I will say is you are SPOT ON with your description.
Do not go near them. You wouldn't send your worst enemy there. Really.

 

You've been saying that for years, but still nothing! Spit it out, man

 

I know. I had to let events run their course. And now they have.

As soon as I clarify one or two things from the perspective of what I can and can't publish I'll do it.

For now suffice to say, do not under any circumstances deal with that bunch of...

 

well, hurry up and pull your finger out...curious minds want to know facts!

 

Yeah yeah. It had kind of gone on the back burner a bit, but just seeing their name again has fired me up. As I say, it's lucky I'm sober or there'd probably be a very lengthy completely illegible post here with most of the words bleeped out!

Fortunately I kept VERY good records of everything that happened. I have every email, letter, records of phone conversations...everything.

All I need to do is publish all of that and people will be able to make up their own minds.

 

as I said, stop talking, start acting.

You wouldn't believe how many hits my web site gets about my crappy mechanic experience.

 

Fair enough. I'll get onto it end of this week.

What happened?
