I mean a F430 from the US doesn't cost the same as it does in korea.. So in which country SHOULDN'T you live if you want to buy en new ferrari? Thanks.
When I was in Brazil the tax for the car being imported was tremendous and the dollar thing. I'd say a 430 would cost nearly triple but the good news is they have them sitting there to buy.
Denmark seems to be about the same - with TAX and VAT added to the price, it will increase about 300% - I hate where I live!
China doesn't look like a bargain either. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=153402&highlight=china
No idea about the most expensive but F's are probably the cheapest in the US. Real bargains there especially with the weak dollar.
A €50.000 car would cost €150.000 or more; After having those f*cking "CO2 emission taxes" introduced (no, I don't beleve in global warming), Ferraris aren't exactly going to become cheaper... I don't know the exact figures, though...
Please add Australia to this list......... A new 430 will set you back around AU$500K+. A new 599 will set you back around AU$700K+. I think America is the place to be to buy 'cheap' Ferraris.
IIRC Singapore also has some high taxes. Like someone said though - Denmark too. Talked to a Ferrari mechanic from Denmark once and while I can't recall the exact figures he quoted for various cars I DO remember I was very shocked.
In Australia my 1989 328gts cost me $120,000 That was top $ I know for an imaculate car low klms full history etc. But that is a lot of money here and things like $8000 stamp duty to transfer into your name dont help.....can you believe that government....stuff!!! I think 355's range from $155-200,000 and 360's $220-300ish. Not sure on other models,new etc. Not sure how that fully relates to other countries prices but the older Ferrari's seem to be holding there prices generally well. Just some feedback from Auz.Tone
South Africa. High import duties on new cars, a monopoly of one official dealer (two branches), and the fact that you are prohibited from importing second-hand vehicles = high prices for new cars, and as a result older cars keep their values very well. New prices are not officially listed but I think it is about USD 400 - 450 k for a new 430, with lots of nearly new 430's advertised well above sticker prices. 360's are from about USD 260 k up to about USD 350 k. 355's seem to mostly be around USD 210 k, 348's around USD 140 - 150 k. Testarossas also about USD 150k. 328's around USD mid 90's , and 308's anywhere from USD 45 - 65. Another good thing: our older Ferraris stay here because this is where they have value, most other old cars (esp. British classics) get exported by someone for a quick buck, and are then lost to our motoring community forever.
Regarding Singapore: I was there ten years ago looking thru the classifieds and saw a ten year old Honda Civic for US $40K. This was a deal compared to what the other cars were selling for.
Interesting. SA is becoming a well known as a place over here for buying classic cars. No wonder if so lot had been kept and maintained well, whereas in other countries cars where abandoned when maintainance felt to expensive compared to the cars value.
A few prices here in DK calculated from todays currency.. Ferrari Mondial Quat. Val. 3,2 V8 2d Km: 86.000 Year: 1988 Price: $ USD 68.201 Ferrari 550 Barchetta V12 Pininfarina 2d Km: 174 Year: 2001 Price: $ USD 205.715 (price is EXCLUSIVE VAT, Yax and what else the govt want us to pay) Ferrari 348 3,4 GT Competizione 2d Km: 6.000 Year: 1994 Price: $ USD 125.097 (same as above)
the exotic cars in brazil are expensive like a new corvette is around 600k U.S. dollars and a ferrari is around 1mil over there
over half a million for a new Corvette?! i wonder who is making the money? i'd like to see a breakdown of where it all goes.
yep half a million for a new vette which is a rip off they were showing it on the brazilian news, but over there ferraris are very expensive upwards into the millions for the new ones
No. A F430 will be half a million in Brazil . Not a Corvette. ANd the money goes to the Gvt..meaning it finances private jets, helicopters and such..
And, I would just imagine that it kind of depends on "who you are". I have a friend in Mexico that just got a Cayenne Turbo, and I think it went to about a 50% duty premium over list IIRC. Now, wonder how much one would cost in, say, Venezuala? Provided you were not Hugo, of course.
Wow, sounds like buying a Ferrari in Denmark would be a very altruistic thing to do!! Just imagine the worldwide demand for Ferraris without all those ridiculous (luxury good) taxes imposed on them...
Also, no (very few) rust problems with older cars as lots of sunny weather, and no salt on the roads in winter.
