Play the Maranello valuation game...!!!

Which is a good point Rick.

If the price you get is properly stupid low, and you need to get out of the car, before you finally take it down to them, ask for PMs from serious FChatters.

At least one car (not a 360) went for a criminal rate recently to a dealer, and I *know* that two or three FChatters would have bought the car for a bit over, which would be a no lose for anyone. Surely it's better that both FChatters cut out the middle man.

 

Yes, but the car has done less than 6k miles...

 

Agreed, that's why I have made no adjustment to the July 04 price or the current price as it was low in both instances, so the differential remains the same.

 

65K after some ****e about loads of 360's becoming available due to 110 430's coming in this year

 

60 grand

 

£60k!!!! How good would that be!!

I would have a briefcase full of cash ready for tomorrow if I could get one for that!

 

well get a briefcase ready because you can get them for that now

it would probably have to be a 99 T yellow F1 though

 

Not a RHD one - think closer to mid 70's no??

 

No

a 2000 W reg grigo/blk F1 sold for £63k at forza288

Eddie Jordan's old one is up for £63k

There is a yellow one on pistonheads for £60k

sorry to hijack the thread...

 

Countach, Countach.

Or 355.

Sorry to hijack also, but Eric needs it

 

Are you going to tell us or is this another Steve f windup ?????

lalalalalalala not listening <fingers in ears>

 

I'm bored by this game...

 

Hate to disagree but you are so off the money.

The F1 grigio had 35k plus miles on it.Making it the highest mileage 360 for sale I'd seen lately.It was priced according to that fact.

So nothing like this car we're all playing the price is right with.

 

Looking at the predictions I thinks much of this board were spot on with their predictions and so have a realistic view.

Buying with such a large 'balloon' and low repayments has to be an expensive way to finance a car.

 

Is 69 their final offer?

Or are they messing about and will settle on 73.

As you say,I think it will be on the forecourt at 85 or very close.

I wonder what Gray Paul etc would offer on it,definitely ring a few other places.

 

£33,000 for one year and 1K miles. I nearly fainted !!!!!!!!!!!!

So are you going for a private sale.... if so what is your price?

 

Maranello take the piss for sure

 

So my £68k wins! Anyone who said £70k is bust and out the game.

 

Too many cars bought on a whim with no exit strategy in my view.

Frightening, the car dealers are no different to Market makers at the stock exchange, they are not ripping you off, they are making the market, they are the market.

Mark

 

I am a market maker and can only dream of profit margins like that !

 

I've never met a poor market maker in your game .

 

You don't do so bad really, do you? At least you have a Ferrari in the garage!


I think the analogy holds some truth, but one must consider the volumes traded!
It can't be that profitable relying on 20 new cars a year, and used sales of probably 5-10 units/month. I think everyone realises after-sales is where the real money is made!
IIRC someone posted a summary of their accounts recently, and it showed a net profit % in single figures.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm sure it's going to be a nasty shock when I ask for a price on my car, that's why I've put mine on the FOC website 1st!

 

£33,000 for 1000 miles....Ouch!

Remind me a) never to buy a new, nearly new car b) if I do, use it and keep it!
