relative to miles it looks like the f40 did the best? enzo, f50, and 288 prices seem far below the low mile example respective highs
All this chit chat requires some pictures. Let's get back on topic. Here is a pretty good view from behind the wheel of a 288 GTO - another one! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Right but I thought mileage was no longer a factor in 288 values given its ultra limited production etc
Would you rather pay $2.5m for a platinum winning 5k km car or $2.1m for a 50k km car that's nice but nothing like the other one? I think that your point is valid to an extent but we are not there on a car that there are 272 of vs something like a GTO of which only 39 exist and clearly base on last summer's transaction, buyers do differentiate value in those despite the low numbers.
like I said I always care about mileage but apparently when a car reaches a certain age/status mileage no longer matters - so ur saying whoever bought the 50K km car over paid? and I thought really clean 288s were over 3M usd?
The buyer of 52475 paid what it is worth, he didn't over-pay. All GTOs do not exist equally, and this particular car, besides its mileage, leaves a bit to be desired, as certainly was the case when it lived in California http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/143934549-post9048.html. Many people assume that ascribing value is simply a matter of calculating the mileage and relative market results, but, condition, maintenance over time, & provenance come into it also. Then too, certain cars are well-known and carry with them a certain positive or not-so-positive reputation, depending on how well they have been cared for over their now 30+ years lives. Insiders know the individual cars. Individual cars have their own market value, and as I always say, its all about the spread. The spread for a GTO is $2m to $3m (with exceptional cars bringing even more), and this car is simply at the lower end of that spread. There's nothing wrong with that, as its a very honest usable car. The auction result was very predictable, and, in fact the auction house did its homework too, as evidenced by the lower estimate to begin with. Of course, we exist in a wishful-thinking market of "I heard a car sold for car xyz so I want that too", but anyone who does their homework and knows what they are looking at can ascribe real value in short order.
I have a set of new 288 GTO wheels for sale, never been mounted, have been storaged in the garage for many years. If anyone is interested or knows someone, please let me know. Would be nice if they can make someone happy on his car. Thanks Joe for giving me the advice to this thread. Greetings
Of course, thanks for the advice. Production date of the set is the 15/3/1989. Greetings Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Now THAT is a serial number! As an aside, my wife has a 2014 Range Rover with the last 5-digits being 66666! You have to pull strings to get those
