In pursuit of a 430 Scuderia...hopefully

You guys have tempted me so bad that I have engaged a professional : ) Just called Chad @ EMG Cars in Arizona to start the research/hunt for me. I bought my 308 through him and was very pleased with the transparent negotiation and our similar philosophies on cars. I am too emotional about the car to do this properly.

He mentioned they have a 2011 458 Challenge car coming in the same price range - LOL! Not street legal though...little too extreme for me.

 

Oh man! That is what I want to do - all day long!

I should have known this thread was a bad idea. Hahaha.

 

Beautifully done. Not my first choice on color for this car. Way too expensive for what I want/need.

I think I'm looking for a "storied" car as they call it here haha!

 

It just got done snowing and is now in the high 40s...what the...working in garage with doors open - ha!

Yah I'm dying here...trying to button up the 308 so it is ready for the weather.

M3 is ready, but going in for some more track-focused suspension tuning and other goodies.

That is awesome that you enjoy it that much. All of my instructors seem to have enjoyed my driving as well, but all were able to make me better as well! Every one I've ever had!

16M? Excuse me? Wow.

I signed up for my first track day at PIRC - 4/12 : )) It's no road Atlanta, but it has potential if the new investors follow-through. It has some nice elevantion changes and interesting highspeed turns on the back. You can get scared for sure : )

Chad is researching over the weekend and calling me back on Tuesday; this is not looking good for my pocket-book.

 

Nah. I've already had offers to buy at close to 150k with more options than I need or want : )

At least 5 people have contacted me just from this thread. Don't get me wrong, these cars are AMAZING. I will be taking mine off the market permanently. But, they are not yet worth what they should be IMHO. They are not yet hard to get - at all. But, I also do not believe they will reach their true valuations for a long time.

 

You should be. But there are very good cars for 150-175k if you are patient and don't care about options or colors. If you don't care about a lot more (like me), then you can save even more. There are a lot for sale out there in the US. I think it is simply a reflection of the kind of owner right now - perhaps? Who knows...like I said, if/when I can get one, I will never sell.

 

If it were black or red or maybe another color, I *might* make an offer. It would not be close to that number though. I think the car is worth more than what I would offer, and I would tell the owner that.

I'm under no pressure to buy right now. In fact, I don't even have the lift in yet to store the car. I have all the leverage, not the market : ) I am willing to wait up to 18months or until my first deal hits - whichever comes first.

 

Is English your first language? Just curious.

Like I said. I have had multiple people try to contact me and sell me scuds below 175k. One recently did not sell on ebay w 20+ bids and was only at 121k IIRC.

Are you basing that on live auctions or something? I could see if you walk into a dealership. What data points are you using? Thanks.

 

Oh I see, you sell these things. Now it makes sense ; )

 

For a "brand new" Scud - I can totally see someone paying 250k.

Maybe prices are higher in Canada?

This thread isn't about debating prices - I hope.

I will try to be as transparent about what I pay and the process as possible without compromising any parties involved or their possible future negotiations. Hopefully this will be of use to future members. : )

 

Hmmmm...I would seriously factor in a full repaint : O

No offense to those who like this...my M3 is actually a silver-blue.

I would do a dark blue all day!

Thanks VERY much for both data points!

 

Awesome! The instructors out here have GT3s that they kill the local track in...those are the fastest cars I've seen here locally. Also the vettes - but talk about boring...I don't think they have to shift! haha. I would guess I will see some serious stuff at mid-ohio. My thought is to trailer it behind the X5 to save my energy for the track and get to some tracks toward the coast.
