    Why....

    We have a pretty good 456 sales thread

    And multiple 550/575 threads. BaT has been the hot new trend lately but why dedicated only thread

    Dedicated...because BaT seems to be the benchmark...at least for Maranellos...and has a pretty much endless cycle of cars rolling through.

    Didn't mean to compromise your 456 thread...carry on! :)

    The biggest reason that I created a BaT specific thread is that there are a number of us F-Chatters who show up regularly on the BaT auction comments...and there are some topics that are perhaps better discussed regarding both the cars and their sellers off of BaTs forum. Agree?

    Eric- Nope, I meant this one. I am a snob and never look at Silver threads.

    The BaT peanut gallery from here (I’m guilty and including myself) often use DM/Conversations if we are being very negative about a car.

    I’ve been very lazy writing auction synopsis like I had historically on the normal thread partially because I continue to be shocked at where things are at.

    These cars are gonna be hitting 400-500k+ in no time. They are just the coolest car to drive. To be shifting a v12 Ferrari is just so iconic. I think people are just trying to snap up the color combos that they desire. Before they keep going up. I don’t think the people spending this kind of money are looking to deeply into it. They have millions. They can send it in for maintenance and take care of whatever is needed for the car. The 456 is awesome to drive too in a manual configuration. I’d get a 456 before they hit 200k

    You might be right. I got started on my Ferrari V12 odyssey in late 2013. I was poking around on eBay for no particular reason and stumbled across a blue 456 for $35K. Having just recently bought a DB7, then a DB9, my interest in affordable stick shift V12 cars was already stoked! It was my new found car passion. How could one pass up a front engine V12 Ferrari for what seemed like (almost) walking around money? Well, I never was able to close that deal, but it had me on the hunt for another inexpensive example - in blue of course! Next thing you know...

    Those Vossen wheels actually look pretty good.

    This car will do very well. Prob near or pass 200k
    There’s a similar 550 beauty on CaB. Less miles. Already over 200K

    Wow. That’s just crazy, butt reflects how truly greedy some people can be.
    Glad CaB caught it, but definitely a hit to their reputation. A little bit of a brown spot on the historical reputation of that car, and the definite reputation killer for Ron Evans.

    In this case, butt pretty much covers it.

    Two hours left...and the bid is at $160K. Any guesses? I'll say it at least approaches the $200K mark. Seller has done a great job so far. Not a perfect example, but likely will be a very satisfying ride for the new owner...and with minimal issues...
