CS Market

Very nice indeed

 

Thanks, the stripe really makes the car.

Thank you. The color looks brilliant in the sun

 

Couple clips of my exhaust with the Agency catless headers, Larini test pipes, and stock can (valves open). Don't mind the video on the second clip. I had the wrong camera turned on the iPhone. :-/ lol

WOW. That looks fantastic. Congrats. What number is that for you now?

Lucky kid! You spoiled him so soon. I would have been nervous in either position.

That blue looks really good. Congrats! Those kidsd must have been grinning for hours and I'm sure you still are!

 

Wow!!
I must have just missed you. I was there until about 10:15-10:30.
Cleanup the Unit up a bit, then went to a play with the Wifey at the Paramount.
Check out the Clearbra App Ben did on the 430 when your there next time.

Oh btw, Just leave the Keys on the seat so I can take her out for a spin

 

wonder where that Pino Verde Stradale went?

a black one and red one in the background too.

 

I've almost bought that car....... twice! The first time I saw it was at Wide World of Cars, and the second time was from the owner in MA. Best of luck and enjoy!

 

Nuff Said !!

Like Chamber music to a gear head...thanks

 

Thank you. I have put close to 400 miles on it in a week. Love the car.

 

CS's do not like to dork around town do they? These Las Vegas roads are slick too. I just put brand new MPSS's on and the rear feels like it's going to break loose at a moments notice. What pressures are you guys running for MPSS's? I run cold pressures of 30 fnt/32 rear.

 

Factory spec is 31F/29R

 

+1

I ran 32 in rear by mistake....and when HARD on it from 1st to 2nd.... Traction control would kick in!! lowered air pressure to 29 lbs.... problem solved!! now I need a neck brace!

 

Just adjusted the pressures back to what the sticker on the door says. 32 front/29 rear. Will have to take it for a drive to see how it feels now.

 

Hey there, I was referred to you from the main Challenge Stradale site on Google as I have expressed interest in the Green Challenge Stradale with Factory stripe and am curious if the owner of this car would consider selling it to me. I don't have much information on this car but I am a serious buyer and willing to paying well over the average selling price that Stradales are getting and is just based on a few factors such as miles and service records. I hope to hear from you, thank you very much, Aloha!

I subscribe to the Ferrari Market Letter which tracks "asking prices" for Ferraris. Naturally since joining the CS-owner community a few months ago I track CS asking prices (as well as Scud, 430, and 360 prices) as others on this thread probably do. So I'm puzzled by what FML shows for CS prices, particularly relative to those of the other models above:

360 MODENA 71,138
360 SPIDER 92,952
CHALLENGE STRADALE 136,803
F430 126,812
F430 SPIDER 152,017
F430 SCUDERIA 191,366

As "average asking prices" over all the various sources I know (ebay, Hemmings, FML itself, the usual dealers, etc.), those numbers all seem "about right" except for the CS number, which looks to me at least $15K if not $20K low. Furthermore, there are five CS's listed in that issue's classifieds and their average is a little above $150K.

My recollection is this has been true for the last six months at least.

Anyone know anything about FML and its data gathering techniques and sources that might explain this discrepancy?

 

I wonder if they're truly including all the CS's on the market or just a sampling to get their figures. I've been tracking CS prices for over 4 years and have always found FML pricing to be quite a bit lower. For 2013, I have yet to see avg. asking prices to dip below 152.

 

Nice Jim! Did you drive the Radical?

 

Nah, it was a Porsche club event weekend. I drove out to make contacts and get on the emailing list for track days.

Drove out to the Mt. Charleston area today (your right XLNLIFE, it is a brilliant drive). Beautiful day for a drive. It was 66* at 8k ft altitude. Have to drive conservatively though. Overcook a turn, go over the edge, and it will not end well. There are hardly any guardrails.
