the Ferrari market watch thread

Very good! I will be there Wednesday afternoon, it's going to be a quick trip over.

We are in town till Monday morning.

Will definitely catch up man, plenty of time.

I'm not driving it over because I have no interest in being cramped up in that little car for 8 hours.

And I will be doing plenty of driving while I am over there. Easier to spend $1750 to truck it there and back for 4 days.

Done and done.

 

Pap did you fix the picture? Cleaver person you...

 

Sure did and thank you, I think.

 

Redbook apparently... It's a load of rubbish that site.

 

Thanks Pap.

 

No worries mate, see you soon.

 

So, to summarise, even if a car has spent 99.9% of its life in the UK, as long as it was originally Aussie delivered it won't be a rust-bucket and is therefore worth 3x the price of one that spent two weeks extra in the UK by originally being sent there from the factory in Italy.

Note: This rule doesn't apply to OHOSs which the gurus decide they might like to buy, in which case UK delivered cars are excellent.

 

So, you've finally worked it out, this place is about promoting specific cars, to put personal OHOS in a good light

Personally I'll be happier when the crash comes and normality is restored and they are all worth $50k

 

Correct.

Although Pap's 348 will continue to appreciate at $50k per month.

 

Yes, if he keeps buying another 348 every month

 

I think it's because he can market it as the only 348 in the world with original belts...

 

A S1 330 sold recently for about $350K Aussie,but not in Aussie....and that's all I'm sayin'.

 

IMO that car is a UK car and worth less

 

You're an idiot....STILL

 

Forgive him Lord for he knows not of what he speaks

 

What would you know?

Have you seen your Italian team?

 

A Ferrari Chat member in the 348 section owns a 92 348 from new with 1594 miles on the clock.

He starts and runs the car every two weeks until it gets to operating temps, then shuts it off.

He only just replaced the cam belt and tensioners a few months ago. They were 24 years old and the belt and tensioners still looked like new.

Car has 1594 miles on it and probably around 1000hrs of idle time. lol

 

2007 Ferrari F430 F1 Auto

nice spec. yellow brakes and more carbon on the interior (wheel?) would've been nice though.

Asking price is ridiculous. I'd pay $200k flat, even then I'd scratch my head.

Heard some horror stories from previous theodossi customers (not making any claims - going on my very limited knowledge based on friends).

 

I bought my car from him. No issues.

 

Great news! Only going by the limited stories I've been told. Always good to have different inputs.

They have a few nice Ferrari's for sale, all decently priced, may drop in to check them out. Just the 430 seems a bit over priced at $300,000.

 

People tend to complain and not praise.

 

What's the point of that?!

I can understand with a rare and valuable car, like say a 355F1, but a 348?

 

You've only said what we're all thinking about a 348

 

human nature, right

 

Big asking price on that f430 but it is near new.
