the Ferrari market watch thread

Yeah good one…Like the challenge stradale I walked away from at 150K because I was renovating the stables at home and had nowhere to park it!…

 

Must be an east coast thing.

 

Well you might just be able to get this for $150k if you haggle hard enough.

Yeah Nah…

 

You'll be kicking yourself when they're $300k.

 

This is is at least a 2 owner car ( not 1 )

 

Yeah Nah..

 

Know this car do you Mike?

Your car database must be impressive... You probably know more about the provenance of these cars better than most owners.

 

Mike had great info on my cars especially the 308…He’s the Ferrari Guru Swami..

 

I didn't have much luck tracing mine prior to 2002 and the original selling dealer no longer exists. I've got a load of docs after 2002 but prior to that all I have is stamps in the log books and scant references to servicing dealers.

Oh well people weren't as retentive back then as they are today.

I guess I could call the factory for more info but I can't be arsed. 20 out of 27 years will have to do.

 

If you give Mike the details he may be able to fill in the gaps…He did for my 308 ..

 

Yes, I know the car

I'm impressed... Pray tell where you get this data from?

Current seller must have had it on the market since Christmas I guess.

I do wonder how much these $$$$ cars are actually selling for (if indeed they are even selling at all). Anybody can have an asking price, what matters is the selling price... Are F430's really going for $450k?

Can't be for real.

 

Excellent. That’s good to know.

All I have to do if my car doesn’t sell is increase the price. Got it.

 

Happens more often than you think.

 

Data has been aquired from public sources over many years.
It's a 430 with 5000km's, probably one of , or if not the lowest mileage one in Australia, essentially an "as new" car, so not just any old 430.

 

I think so lol. A lot like the GT Phase III owners 10+ years ago.

 

Indeed! Crazy times we live in now.

And you earned your money back then being an Architect, I am sure the computer does 90% of the work these days for an Architect.

 

Architects spend 90% of their time wondering how to use a computer

 

Lol, I bet.

 

I wish

Sh*t in sh*t out is the real issue

 

Lol! CAD is what slowed projects down! Clients assume you just press a button and changes are made instantly- not the case!
In the past, clients knew changes would cost a lot of money so thought carefully before they committed. So how is the time dofference made up these days - fees have doubled and timeframes have as well! CAD has made projects SLOWER, even if an individual drawing may be done quicker.

 

I knocked up a CAD drawing of my kitchen in an afternoon, put it on a USB and gave it to the kitchen people.

They rang and said the kitchen would be $35k so I adjusted the drawing in a few minutes and had them built one slightly cheaper by doing some variations ... not hard but nothing really structural either

 

imagine if you were doing it by hand. You will be finished in 10mins
