$603k for CS on BAT! Has this world gone Batty?

Seems about right to me. Embrace it.

 

You're asking what happened? What happened is the 849 Testarossa was unveiled and it correctly made people run for the hills and into older Fcars. Which would you rather have for $610k? 849 TR with a few carbon options or CS? Pretty easy choice imo.

 

This is just the beginning for these cars. There will be $1m examples before we know it.

 

At this point we can only be grateful for the popularity of the Modena - otherwise buying parts would become unreasonably expensive.

 

Great point, unfortunately these older Ferraris are 100x better than the new ones. So it’s an obvious choice indeed

 

Kinda what happened in the P-car world. Tech took over and everything got very complicated-- and very expensive when the tech needed to be sorted out. Then the older, more simplified cars, started to gain popularity and the market took off. Nostalgia maybe,(?). But more likely in my mind sports car enthusiasts just preferred to have a driver/car relationship unencumbered by too much tech.

I'm confidant that our "older" Ferraris will find the same path.

As a footnote, let's not forget that a CS is a paddle shift.-- May not bode well for all the manual conversions out there on the market.

 

The world has gone batty…but I don’t think 603k for a cs is evidence of this.

new fcars are expensive and while amazing and great, the back catalog still has so much value, even as prices rise like this.

 

Don't think the world has gone batty overnight for older Ferrari models with more classic looks. Aesthetically, since Ferrari ended the design contract with Pininfarina, newer Ferrari models look way too boxy, angular and, as my son said - "lego" like. Gone are the smooth curves that have always defined the more classic Ferrari looks.

There is just something about Pininfarina designed Ferraris...

 

Silver eww.

 

I think the color is the reason it got all the money ..rare

 

Not red, low miles, factory stripe (which I personally dislike, but unlike Ford GT's, it brings a premium).

 

Wut?!?!?

 

I’m it being silver giving it a premium is a huge stretch guys, come on

it was in absolutely mint condition, said 4k miles but shows like it was brand new….that’s why it did well.

and it’s a challenge stradale 1/1,288 which is an absolute legendary machine.

no one wakes up and says yeah, silver…I HAVE to have this color lol. Not a knock on silver, just not a gotta have it color.

 

100% brought what it did primarily because it was silver.
If you don’t know; don’t speculate. The two highest public CS sales have been silver. Regardless of whether you like it or not, the market values rarity.

 

Years back no one had interest in any silver F cars let alone a Stradale....now look! Side by side to me the winner is Rosso Scuderia!

Ford GT - dealers had a hard time selling them

BMW Z8 - same

Carrera GT - same

I'm sure the list goes on......

Lesson here!? Buy the cars least desired model/color at the present I guess LoL

 

The only other color I would want in a cs would be black or sliver. But definitely not for that price. Glad I have 3/4 of that car on my build for a fraction of that price.

 

My niece and I are casually in the market for a 360CS. The one we are looking at went from $395K to $495K after this BAT sale.

 

I'm partial to grey ;-)

 

inho, everything i see on BAT sells for crazy money

 

someone needs to run a random study where you just buy stuff off ebay and sell it on BAT. nice ROI

i see range rovers sell all the time on BAT that you couldnt give away on CL

 

Hah. Same thing I thought. But for some reason, many F car owners lust over rare colors and super low miles. I'll never understand it at all, but that's a good thing because I also can't afford it!

 

I just don't get the hype for the 360CS.

 

I never got the hype for the Dino... yet... it is what it is...

 

The dino in all varients is at least rare. The 360CS is just a 360 in wolf clothes and not even special paint colors. There are 1300CS and 17K 360's while under 4000 dinos were made and lots of them no longer exist.
