F355 Market

There are a lot of perfect maintained F355s for sale in the Netherlands at Stradale Cars.
Take a look at their collection:

This isn't even all F355s they have in stock! They are specialised in the F355 and can do all the maintenance and service of all Ferrari's.

 

That is quite a collection of 355s!

 

It's interesting to see GTB's and GTS's more valued and premier in Europe

 

They can not import our cars for 7-8 more years and then maybe ours will climb as the 30 year import tax is waived.

We can import, but have to pay the 20% VAT on purchase amount...

That still seems significantly cheaper buying from North America...prices in Europe seem wild!

 

They are indeed. But many times just asking. Many cars you see announced for £100k have been sitting for 12 month+.. don’t understand the principle

I probably did a poor job of what I was trying to say. The VAT goes away at 30 years I believe so you are saving 20k per 100k and with the exchange rate and no VAT, US spec importation becomes more desirable. I believe? (I hope)

I'm following the Dutch market for some years now: none of them has been sold in the last 12+ months! Not even the 60K cars! Porsche dito: market is dead!

 

Yes, that’s correct indeed

Buyers market cycle indeed.

 

The colors aren’t the best, which doesn’t help.

 

Agreed, but I sense that investment is taking place elsewhere as working capital at the moment. Just my sense and observation. Used Car Market is soft everywhere.

 

Im not really a car “investor”. I own my Ferrari’s for pleasuree. But, like anyone, I’m observant of the market. I would think values would be going through the roof right now given how healthy economies are. Maybe I just don’t understand the cycles.

 

The high wave was March 2016. That was the peek for 355 values. Like most non blue chip Ferrari's, values has been slipping since.

 

I'm going out on an educated limb here and say the market has bottomed and is starting to turn up again.

 

Nope...

 

I feel pretty confident that the bottom is in. We will see what the next year brings. I don't expect prices to go straight up to where they were, but a rise never the less. Time will tell.

Happy 4th everyone.

 

If another crisis looms, we will see them go back to $35-50k...
There’s just too many of them still around and they are way too expensive to maintain for average people

I hear that all the time, but with such a reasonable entry price, you can do a lot of maintenance & still have less invested in a 355 than most F cars. Seems like a great deal to me, but I’m bias.

 

Sounds like someone may be looking to sell soon

 

That’s the opening line in my add.

 

Maybe I’ll add that to my ad.

 

Nope.

Well, maybe my Toyota pickup. I hear prices are on the upswing for 2002, gated, 4x4 Toyota pickup with the standard cab. And mine has had a complete frame off restoration thanks to the Toyota rusted frame recall program.

Or maybe the stupid Cayman I bought with a roof that doesn't go down. How dumb was that? A sports car with a hard top. I call that a family sedan. Made that mistake once before with the 308 GTB, but then the 308 GTS is just ugly.

 

Reported auction sales for all 355 models since 2012. 2017 sure looks like a bottom in 2017 to me.
