Is this Scud Price for real??

Yea I searched far and wide daily for almost a year. This was one that got my attention because of the price for a low mile '09 . . . until I found out about the accident. I even got a quote from ricambi for a scud steering wheel and they told me $9650 with a 45-60 day lead time. Ouch! I previously had a used scud wheel on my 430 but had sold it 2 months earlier which I was kicking myself for doing.

In terms of the accident leading to a cheap non led replacement, while possible, I don't think that was the case. I honestly think some owners wanted a scud with alcantara all the way around than have LEDs. A no frills racer so to speak. The one in atl had no LEDs and radio delete keeping with the theme.

The thing I don't like about this ad is that it advertises it as a 'clean' car which it clearly isn't. It's currently posted in the dealer listings and it states 'Paintwork:Yes'. Previous paintowrk sure isn't my definition of a 'clean' car.

 

Was it a minor or major accident?

 

I saw this scud for sale by a Fchat member. It had no LED steering wheel. It finally sold at Ferrari of Atlanta. He mentioned that it was optioned that way from factory.

 

Is the price really that low? The $100k starting bid has an unspecified reserve and the BIN is $180k, which seems in line with other listings I've seen elsewhere for a car with similiar miles (though admittedly the range is broad -- but there are plenty of cars out there from $170-220k [and beyond]).

Wide World Ferrari in Spring Valley NY has a Certified '09 Scud with 870 miles on it for $209k on its website. Its on both cars.com and their website right now. Its even red like OP's eBay car.

I saw a brand new scud in 2009 with no LEDs on the steering wheel

 

Steve, you never cease to amaze me...when do you find the time with all your other commitments?
Now, the question for any of you guys with more extensive knowledge re Scud options...did Ferrari charge extra for the "alcantara L.E.D. delete steering wheel" option? Somehow, someway...I'll bet they did And what do you figure its impact is on value? For me, it looks like one of those issues that can truly be a deal breaker. Kind of like a 997 Carrera TT without the sport/chrono option.

 

I have been shopping for scuds/cars on and off for six months and I had a friend trade one back to Ferrari dealer for $165k and I kick myself for not buying it. It is sad when a good low mileage, well optioned car goes away like that.

 

Dont forget your friend saved $165 * local_vehicle_sales_tax_rate in many states (not all). Thus he would have saved $10K in FL (6% sales tax) if he traded it in at a dealer on another car. So if he was going to sell it to a private party instead it would need to go for $175K, unless he was cutting you a deal. I will concede that maybe $175k was still a good deal.

 

Not sure. All I heard was that the car had been in an "accident" and "fender repaint" and the conversation was basically over.

The Atlanta one was a different car because it had a radio delete. This car has a stereo. It's actually spec'd very nice if it weren't for the non-LED steering wheel and accident. That's why I actually took the time to see if it was feasible to get another LED steering wheel. It has alcantara all around with red stitching and yellow tach. Exactly what I was looking for.

Hahaha, Mark. I get wifi in the OR so I can check fchat during my down time. Yeah, I was a little obsessive over the scud market checking it several times a day. Now I just check it a couple times a week when I'm bored even though I have mine sitting at home in my garage. =P

 

Really? What's the Vin or dealership?

 

LOL!

Steve, I hope your med mal carrier doesn't monitor F-chat!

I know what you mean about keeping abreast of the market. I find myself doing the same and it's been a few months since I bought mine. BTW: How's that Capristo exhaust switch working out?

 

It's only between cases when I'm waiting for turnover or at lunch.

The Capristo switch is awesome. It really should be standard. It makes it much more enjoyable to be able to switch on 'obnoxiously loud mode' at a switch of a button rather than having to rev it up to 6000 rpm. And then turn it to 'quiet standard mode' when driving home so as to not piss off my neighbors or attract unwanted stalkers.

 

It was a grey/silver stripe car that went to Scottsdale. It has since been sold to another customer. It was a good deal and should of done it.

Only reason it was that cheap is it was a good friend.

 

When was that? Those guys should have let me know as I'm always trying to keep an eye out for a silverstone scud.

Thought you had a 458?

 

Steve, if I'm in your OR, please don't check fchat

 

The car is a Real Scuderia, the reserve on the auction is set some where around 175K. He also has this car listed on a dealer Wholesale site and the buy it now is set at 175K, so that's why I'm thinking is reserve is set at 175K. The Vin checks out as an original Scud, the dealer could order the Scud with out LEDS....

 

I previously owned the car recently sold at FoA, and its VIN number is 3 after the car in question here. I had the window sticker which made no mention of radio or led wheel - in other words they had been deleted from the sticker too haha.

I bought the car with 200 miles on it from original owner through FoA who originally delivered but have no idea who ordered it that way. Obviously i'm the only one in this thread who does, but I prefer the no LED wheel.

As my car (and probably this car) was built in June 09 which seems very close to the end of production, I speculate that Ferrari had simply run out of LED wheels and didn't want to make any more!

Best, Paul

 

This one is out there also- I have no affiliation.

189K Nero/Nero with 3,700 miles.

I am sure there is some play in the price point.....

What's the upside of no LED wheel?

Just curious.

And yes Wifi is soooo necessary in the OR. Those turnovers are really atrocious.

This one is back up for sale for 167k BIN:

Ferrari 430 Scuderia Coupe 2 Door | eBay

Did anyone ever find out details on the accident etc? Going to email the seller now...

 

I had a black 09 scud before my current scud that did not have the led wheel. I traded it for my current scud.

 

Amazing how many times this scud has been sold and relisted for sale immediately afterwards.

 

this scud been in a few accidents, been talk about many times

 

Kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it?

All these people buying a dream car and then dumping it a few months later. After discovering . . . .
