F40 prices sinking fast? Asking below $499k and no takers

Wow, you're humble too.
You aren't a Bill Noon, or even a Griswald with your attitude.
Still didn't address your presumption about ill-maintained 12k mile cars.
I won't wait for it. You can't admit you deliberately mistated another post.

So the "royal we" are dismissing a car with miles as ill-maintained. Presumptive. I expect nothing less after your last posts.

 

Thats from another thread, has nothing to do with this one, was clearly misunderstood by you, and was directed at an individual who has now posted a few minutes ago and happens to agree with me.

 

I am still laughing at Joes comment f40 owners are too smart to get themselves into a tight spot where they need to sell the car cheap, some of them paid considerably more a year ago than they are worth now which isn't so smart now, there was a local guy here that had an Enzo and a bunch of other Lambos exotics that posters here would stroke and comment they wished they could be like him someday well he has liquidated everything big fish get small little fish get big that's free enterprise.

 

A lot of it is greed and over extension, not free enterprise. A lot of people I thought had good things going on have taken some major hits to the knees now that the music has stopped and they are left with out a chair. Sadly they are just losing exotic cars and mansions, while others are losing honest jobs and homes due to the games of others. But like you said, now some small fish will get some bargins and in the next boom might be the big fish. Hopefully the new big fish will learn lessons from the failures of the no longer big fish, but for most of them I doubt it.

F40 prices have hit their stagnation point, they will soon hit their BIG dip, stay there for a while, and eventually will double their last peak.

 

Are you confusing the F-40 with the 288 GTO? They look a lot alike and some 308s have been modified to look like 288s. But a Ferrari guy would never--never--consfuse a 308 with the F-40.

 

So your comments are thread specific, the comment is quite plain, and you AGAIN didn't recognize your presumption about miles and maintenance. I understood the comment, you didn't follow your own comment.

Point in fact, Bill looked and drove the car in that thread, and though not a PPI, had concerns voiced and he suggested a PPI/SD3. No malice, just his opinion how a car felt. Both reasonable. Your comment was superfluous, as Bill had already essentially stated same.

Your need to use IMO as a descriptor is consistent with the "not to my knowledge" disclaimer every dealer uses. Thank God your omniscient insight saved us all from a diminished value suit.
Be sure and let us know which tenets hold in general and which are thread specific. You know, which side of your mouth are you speaking- I don't want you misunderstanding.

 

Paul Frame had to sell both his F40 AND his F50, and uncuff that damsel from the bedposts, as well.......

So don't try to stretch THAT point to far.....Warren Buffett bought SEITEL........

 

Wasn't some kind of chinchilla jacket involved in that as well?

In retrospect, the board should have instituted better procedures for separating legitimate business expenses from shams such as the Ferrari "sponsorship." "Essentially, this was just a good-old-boy racing club for Frame," says SEC investigator Spencer Barasch. But the most damning finding involved a civil lawsuit brought in 2001 by Frame's ex-girlfriend Silvia Platt. Platt had worked as an exotic dancer at the Men's Club in Houston.(FSB was unable to locate Platt for comment.) After their romance ended, Platt sued Frame. Her complaint alleged that Frame pressured her into using illegal drugs, manipulated her into participating in kinky sex acts, punched her in the face, and broke into her house to steal back various gifts he had given her, including a chinchilla jacket and a Tiffany watch. The stress was so debilitating, according to the pleading, that Platt could not move on with her plans, which included completing college. She asked for $25 million in damages

 

Of course they won't confuse one for the other, but even Enzo would tell you that the F-40 is the ultimate evolution of the 308.

 

I lived in Houston then, knew Paul.
Pwned. Had a hard time getting costume to fit, head didn't fit into costume very well

308>288 GTO>288 Evo>f40 =308 based car

 

Burp

 

Estes rocket>Stinger>Atlas>Saturn V

$25M. About 5-7 years of Men's Club tips? Transcript per friend is pretty amusing.

 

Not exactly. Each stage was a fresh design from chassis up...

 

LOL! He is a lost cause.

 

Ha ha mention the 308 lineage to a ferrari its like someone admitting a relative is in prison, best kept quiet and in denial. The f40 has a reinforced 308 block and many other 308 parts, but I guess if I paid 700k for a ferrari I wouldn't want 308 mentioned at all as well. No hard feelings this thread has been fun

 

It's even worse: we all spent tons of $ on some tuned FIAT's whit a horse badge ... S***!!!

 

Well my neighbor thinks its a 308...

 

Too funny, better school him. I get that occasionally with my BB I guess laymen think any older ferrari is a 308 Magnum wrecked it for all of us

 

that is the kindest way of describing the situation i have heard.

living here in houston, if it was a chinchilla coat, i wouldn't be surprised. unfortunately, it wasn't....

 

Well one of the appealing aspects of the GTO's design is its subtle disposition so if he wants to think its a 308, I say why spoil it for him?

 

Tony the Tiger, what?

 

One of my elementary school teachers always referred to me as "that tongue-in cheeky lad."

 

I'd be telling a lie if I said I understood what that means in relevence to this thread/my comments,

Though I always welcome the weird

 

You congratulated me on owning a delivery miles F-40.

Not wanting to go in depth here...no point, but my post was made in complete unfettered jest.

This is where I poke warm fun at gorillas wearing aviator shades whilst having their picture taken for self said self-promotion.
