Rarity value? It starts with 355s, next it'll be 328s, then 348s, then 308s until finally after many years have passed the 308 GT4 will be worth more than a 360 (Mondials slightly less).
Both of them are AT LEAST £15k over the top IMO. I sold my 1998 mint 355 F1 for £40k nearly two years ago. I spoke to the dealer principle at Stratstones some time ago about the red one and how "he was taking the pizz" and he just shrugged and said the car was on SOR, if they got the money, great, if not, so be it, their exposure was ZERO. Stinks really....
Ferrari prices go up and down, I tend to agree with 208GT4. Ultimately 355's will be considered the last "real" Ferrari. Especially when the sound of the engine is compared to these new low capacity turbos that Ferrari are muttering about for the future! If both cars are £15K over the odds (agree to some extent there, although a 98 mint F1 in RHD is worth more than £40K today I feel), then it means the 355 and 360 quoted still have the same price differential.
No one is forcing anyone to buy them so whats the problem? sure if you went in with a decent enough offer you would get either of them cheaper.
Yes I agree with that mate, but what grinds my gears is that these dealers can charge big comission on these cars without outlaying a single penny If they dont sell, they aint bothered...
Other than the car is taking up floor space at the dealership which needs to earn its keep - unless the cars are kept off site I suppose?
