550/BARCHETTA/575/SA MARKET

I thought I would start a new thread to keep track of and discuss this market/inventory in North America. I borrowed this idea from Stokpro for the CS market thread. I think it would be a good place to keep track of the market and inventory on these V12 GT cars. I will just contribute a few ads to start it off.

Just from a short time looking at a couple of publications I have found:

From Canadian Autotrader: 8 - 550's for sale, 1 Barchetta & 4 - 575's and 1 - SA

I only noticed 2 SA's for sale on FerrariAds .

 

Here are the 2 SA's for sale in Canada:

I did not intentionally omit the 456 market......I just forgot to add it and should have thought it through before starting a new thread.

 

Low mileage 550:

Wow, so beautiful...

 

The car really is stunning in person...perfectly maintained as well.

 

Randall, I think that is a very sharp color combo. The price is very reasonable as well.
I have a 2005 575M F1 Argento Nurburgring/Nero and this 03 for sale has a sharp interior IMO.
That will be a good buy for someone who likes that color combo. I think it should sell fairly quickly.

 

Here is one from Sports Car Company:

history? silver/grey barchetta, 6.5k miles,thanks

 

Sorry, but I do not know the history on this car.
Maybe someone else here does or just call Ferrari of Newport Beach and they will let you know.
I inquired about a couple of different cars there when I was looking to purchase, and they were great with sending me all the history they had.
That Barchetta seems to be a very fair price. I don't think I would sell mine for less than 175K unless I needed the cash.

 

I borrowed this link from Zedtt:

https://www.vintagedrivingmachines.com/car-listing/2002_Ferrari_575M?ajaxed=1&ad_id=19150663&action=viewlisting

 

The ad states that this is a platinum car, how is that possible? It has completely incorrect headlights.

please explain? thank you in advance.

 

It seems that this car has the 575 headlamps, very strange indeed.
Maybe there is a story to this Barchetta?

 

without disclosure? are 575 headlights "better"? it is little mysteries like these that keep a car from selling--hmmm

 

This car was for sale in December, 2003, at Silicon Valley Auto Group; silver/charcoal, carbon fiber trim and race seats, shields, modular wheels, red calipers, 2K miles.

Then it was on eBay on 19 February 2007 through St. Louis Motor Sports, LLC, silver/black, 4,380 miles, $205,000.

This is/was a Jon Walton car, and it was built after the first few 575Ms, so it's possible - though I have no proof - that it left the factory with those headlights. But irrespective of the ownership provenance, it's more likely that the headlights were added after market.

I saw it in June, 2008, at the 2008 Le Belle Macchine d'Italia concorso in Skytop, PA.

It is odd that a limited production, numbered car would have different headlights than the model specific year; especially being a Barchetta.
You would think that they would follow production specifications unless the owner actually requested 575 headlamp assemblies.

ps.Maybe the originals are in the trunk.

Sweet, thanks! I didn't have any information on that Barchetta until now.

 

Your welcome.

New to Ferrari world, so I hope I won't offend anyone here. If the TDF Superamerica (559 built) with 6.5K miles w/CCB option. went for $167K? When I saw most in US are asking in the $220K~ Range (2 in Canada with 8K-13K miles are asking $180K-$200)
Where as Barchetta (448 built) are asking still near the $200K, So does this means realistically they should be priced at $155~175K range if they were to move them?

Also, is it worth while to import instead of buying within Canada? ie, cost of importation?
