Selling my 348, need some help on pricing...

I would put it on cars.com, ebay and of course the FML. Maybe Hemmings...they've never been a great source for me to search in.

Forget about the Dupont Registry...it's a dream world of pricing.

The Ferrari market Letter has it priced at ~$54k

 

If the 30k service was done in the last two years I would say about $53k. That is assuming everything works and the car is cosmetically in like new condition. If you want to unload it fast, post it here on ferrariads.com with a price of about $49k. I think the Ebay route to get advertising is okay. Be careful if you decide to sell to a bidder from Ebay. Lots of inexperienced sellers get duped into fraudulent payments through Ebay 'buyers'. You will probably get lots of exposure nationally with an Ebay ad. If you advertise in a local paper I think it automatically goes into cars.com (that is how I found my 348). Also Collectorcartraderonline.com is good for the 348 advertising. You can advertise through Dupont and be the cheapest 348 advertised and make out well. Those would be my 4 recommendations.

Ebay is the best exposure for a fast sell. I sold my last 6 Ferraris on there without any problems, including my similar 348 last month which sold in only 2 days ($49K).

If your not interested in the quick sale I would list it at the higher price and take offers. You can always come down on the price, but people won't offer more. 49k would be a great price for the quick sale, but otherwise I would start around 55k-56k.

 

Another vote for eBay. I sold my 911 there last year and was lucky to have a reliable bidder the first time. I asked for a $500 non-refundable deposit on a $50K car and got that via PayPal right away. After that it took a couple of weeks to close the deal. Balance was paid via cashier's check.

The car got a lot of bids and sold for my Buy It Now price.

Best part for me was that there were no phone calls, joyriders, lowballer's, etc. Honestly if the buyer had fallen through I still had the $500, which more than covered my costs, and I could have re-listed it.

 

Try Ebay first!!! I agree...

 

My 348 Spider is priced right and I got every stroker in the world trying to steal it from me. If a car sells real fast, then you undercharged and left money on the table. Ive found it to be a tough market and I watch it constantly. If the car is clean, tight and serviced with no stories, ask a fair price, but dont give it away and youll get your price. There is a lot of crap out there.

My thoughts...

 

That is true. If your car is in great condition cosmetically and mechanically you should not try to compete price wise with the cheapest car on the market.

I priced my 348 @ $49K, and it was in superb condition, 1990 with 24K miles, Tubi and all, like I said it sold in 2 days, and based on the # of calls I received I realized I should have asked for more, so $49K may be too low for an asking price on your 92'. I think $53K is about correct in todays' market.

Half of which are probably members here who constantly act to push prices down. Spring is around the corner, if you can not sell your Ferrari in spring, then you know your price is too high.

 

Good point. Don't forget you can always come down a little for someone that is serious. I would not try to be the cheapest either... It's all about exposure.

Post here and I'd say your car should be sold in 2 months max.

Yeah.. I priced it a thousand less then other similiar, clean 95 spiders. I only did ebay twice.. Didnt do Cars.com yet. Im waiting for Spring time here in the North East.

Mr. Cats is actually going to make a go at selling it for me. I look forward to working with him. Im sure he'll talk me into a Diablo by the time this is all over.

 

I just purchased a 1990 GTS for $52,500 in November 2005- 10,600 miles. It had belt service 06/2005. Seller asked $54,000- listed on a dealer website I was familiar with- I know, I know, I drive a hard bargain, ha! Hope that helps-

 

I hope you mean "TS"? The GTS was only produced in 93-94'.

Sounds like a fair deal. Hope you enjoy it! I think this is what people are always referring to when they say 'buy the best you can find...' You can probably find cheaper 1990 348's but to get one with fresh servicing and low mileage you are going to have a more enjoyable ownership experience (in most cases). You will love the quick shift into third at 7400 rpm in second and the little shift in the rear tires.... Drive through tunnels every chance you get.

Stephane- you're correct, it's a TS (although my title says otherwise, ha).

 

Slick car. I think the pricing should be around $53k-$54k (based mostly on the mileage). Of course if you would feel bad letting it go for less than say $51k you should not list it for that price. Nice badges. Please post the dimensions for Dasadrew in the other thread, he is going to do the recessed install like you have. Is the car lowered? It looks really great and very aggressive. Good luck with the sale.

Wow! Just seen those pics and that car is stunning!

As just mentioned by Bill, I'm looking at recessing the scuderia shields on my 348 too. Are yours positioned by gut feeling, or did you have a GTCompetizione alongside to work from for the dimensions?

It would be great if you could help out with the positions!

Cheers and, in any case, best of luck with whatever you decide for the car!

Std on GTC but were they not also available on tb/ts as a 1k option?

 

Top Man!

 

That car is just so bada$$! Great! Hope you don't get too many tire-kickers. Reckon you might get a call from Darth Vader though!
