Speciale Market

I am the current owner. I have a great relationship with the dealer. Unfortunately in todays market it seems online auctions are the way to go and my dealer does kot do it that way.
The old school dealers are fast learning that they need to have a online presence. Posting to the different websites such as autotrader cargurus etc and then waiting for a phone call does not seem to be the way to sell cars these days. People want a sense of community and perhaps validation? which is provided by peers online. I may be totally wrong but the numbers seem to support this theory. Your thoughts? As a seller the biggest advantage I see is that the actual sale price of the car is known while with dealers you never really know what the cars sell for.

Wow that was fast !
Looks like another red one with black stripes popped up with 6600 miles offered by Merit Partners $499k. I bought my first Speciale years ago from Merit Partners… they are awesome!

Looks just like yours!
Beauty.

 

friend of mine just bought a beautiful example here for £380k

I remember someone here laughing at the suggestion the Speciale would be worth more than the Pista but it's already a reality

 

I may be a bit premature, but I believe the Speciale is this generation's F40 in terms of future desirability and values that will continue to increase.

 

Hmmmm so I should withdraw my speciale?

The issue I see comparing it with the F40, is that one is a bespoke model while the other is a modified version of a base car which was produced in relatively high numbers.

 

I can understand that point of view: F40 the last of the Enzo cars and 458 Speciale/Aperta the last of the Pininfarina cars (and NA V8).

 

@LordVader458
People still sell F40s, maybe buy them later, it's really up to the individual preference...

@ScrappyB
The world has changed, a lot, since the F40, the F40, you could say was a transition from the 288 due to the racing rules at the time, (both turbo V8s)
But, what I really mean is to not say the Speciale is equivalent to the F40 (the Speciale having well more than twice the production) but in terms of both being and end of an era car (F40 was last Enzo involvement) that representing something truly special that will never be repeated. The Speciale being the end of Luca's era, last CEO with direct connection to Enzo, also, as we all now realize, will truly never be repeated.

Yes, the Speciale has a base car, it was not a one-off, but in terms of desirability, look around, there are very few Speciale's on the market, and in terms of overall production, I dare say there are about as many F40s for sale as Speciales at this time (i.e. using a 2.5 ratio, saying for every F40 2.5 Speciale's were produced) (not including the 458SA) and prices of Speciale's are tending upward.

Looking to the future, I assume there are many aspiring future Ferrari owners, and because the future production appears to be a mix of hybrid and all electric (and never again NA only without turbo, without hybrid), those desiring a more authentic experience will tend to look at what came before and I believe in future years that will only increase the desirability (as hindsight is 20/20) of the Speciale and therefore, increasing prices due to lack of cars on the market...

Anyway, maybe I am a bit premature here, let's recheck this in 5 years, by then, it should be even more apparent

 

You certainly have storage room for it, and don't have pressing needs for whatever cash proceeds you will receive from its sale. How well diversified are you with your financial and tangible assets? Would you want your grandchildren to inherit this car or a few hundred thousand dollars more in cash, or some other asset? You, sir, have a first world problem, best wishes to you.

 

Uh, if someone wants to pay 1.3 for my SA, it's yours!

 

Spec?

 

I second that

458 SA's have sold near to what is 1m usd here before, not that far off market value!
