Interesting how did that dealer come upon your car. Seems decent sale for you considering from a dealer. Sent from my 16M
What I note is that a real sale indicates that a Speciale now sells for (slightly) less than MSRP. It's still a very good result for a 4-year old car (meaning that ownership for 4 years has been more or less free for 4 years, something exceeptional for a car), but nowhere near the claims that a special edition Ferrari would make the lucky buyer rich.
Inaccurate generalization. Depends on miles and spec. There was a 600 mile 2015 Speciale with $353k MSRP that sold for $395k last month. There are other notable examples of low-mile, well-spec'd Speciales that have sold in recent months for $30-$40k over MSRP. It is the undesirable spec and/or higher mile examples that tend to wallow on the market.
Agree 100% based on my own research of the Speciale and recent purchase of one myself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
To be fair, that 600 mile car would be a lot cheaper if you even remotely tried to enjoy it and use it. Low mileage cars that sell at high prices are meaningless because they can't be driven while retaining that value.
Agree with others that speciale prices will hold well depends on how much you drive it. In Dubai, U.A.E. we are getting here from USD 300-350k low kms like 5k. And the fact that it is the last naturally aspirated engine special series before being replaced by turbo engines... The problem with Pista or all turbo engines for that matter is in the long run they will not hold their value because turbo engines don't have a limit you can keep upgrading them for more power and torque while in naturally aspirated engines there is a limit.
here to it depends on the mileage on your car... I hate these so called flippers that buy the cars just to sit in the garage... these cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed.
Exactly - and IMHO the owner gets a better value by driving a few thousands miles and losing $20K when he sells his car than by locking $350K in a car he can't use to get a $40K benefit after four years.
Then it sounds like he paid about $10k over MSRP. Rosso Corsa with NART is also probably the most popular color combo in the Speciale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Lot of Speciale going up for sale, but seems lots of buyers at the current prices too. Good specs don't sit very long, and overall number of listings has not been increasing despite new cars continuously popping up. Lamborghini Dallas just sold a stripeless Rossa Corsa with 3000 miles in just a week. They listed it for $380K, which was about $50k over MSRP. Not sure what they actually sold for.
With the SP500 having just given back 17 months of gains, I would not be surprised to see markets soften for all exotics. The markets are looking awfully ugly given US politics, not to mention what a hard Brexit might do.
Not to turn this into an economic thread but oil has given up 17 months of gains also and that might put a crimp on the budgets from the middle east also.
Just received an email from my dealer that reads as follows: I hope this message finds you well and that your New Year is off to a great start. We are currently seeking 458 Italia, 458 Spider, and 458 Speciale models both for inventory and for clients ready to make a purchase. If you'd consider selling or trading your 458 please let us know. We have a number of fantastic 488 models available (both listed on our website and unadvertised) as well as some incredible F12 models. Please visit our website to learn more.
Just an observation, for past month or so, the number of 812s for sale has been exceeding the number of Speciale's for sale...and, I'm sure at this point there are still more Speciale's in the USA than 812s, so maybe that says something?
That is interesting and reflected in premium to MSRP. I have both and they are wonderful cars with each car having great qualities. Perhaps it is because regular V12s tend to depreciate faster initially than v8s and these people selling maybe trying to get ahead of drop.
Brand new cars always explode in number of listings on the used market after 1 year. It seems a large portion supercar owners like to keep their cars for about 1-2 years before moving onto something new. I remember in late 2017 there were only 2-4 McLaren 720S for sale in the entire USA. Now there's nearly 100 listings just 1 year later.
