Any leads on Pista and thoughts?

If your ego will allow it wait six-12 months and there will be plenty on the market for less than what you’re willing to pay at this point.

 

Just some data if anyone cars;

Pista with MSRP $415K, listed at $499K (Delivery miles and rosso corsa). Sold in private party transaction. Don't know what the final selling price was. None of my business to ask the former owner and he didn't volunteer the info.

Car was in Northern California and sold to another owner via a broker in Southern California.

 

Actually i was mistaken i contacted my contact and it is more like the 50k plus

 

They said the EXACT SAME THING about the Speciale when it came out....how’d that work out lol?

And the Pista is twice as good as the Speciale (I owned a Speciale 5 years and just recently went through Corso Pilota in a Pista, so I can speak to this I believe).

But ..you never know. Might as well wait, cause you know, time is worth nothing.

 

I have seen asking prices of K€100 … yes, one hundred K Euros above sticker price

 

This is just my theory and opinion and others are very welcome to disagree, but I think Ferrari is starting to become dilutive of itself, and even here in Texas, where the market and economy seem to be strong, the vendors of high-end goods, including cars and houses, are indicating a downturn in the market for their goods.

 

Hilarious, maybe with 10K miles

 

Speaking of used Pista's, this Pista listed for sale in Spain has 17,731km's. Factory demo???

Looks like the one from the nico rosberg video

 

The Speciale ended up its production just when there was a speculative bubble on Ferrari (2015), so that's the Speciale that has enjoyed a unusual situation and it's not the example of a common rule. Before they regained value benefiting from the very same bubble, the CS and Scuderia saw their prices significantly decrease. Now the situation is more stable but the CS (to a lower extent), the Scuderia and even the Speciale have seen their prices softening since this bubble.
With a more ambitious initial price, the prospect of an increasing value for the Pista is questionable; the fact that there are many Pista for sale asking premiums is not a sign that many people are actually willing to pay these premiums - it could actually be the other way round.
As for the Pista being far better than the Speciale, I'm convinced it's true - but it's just true in the same way that the 488 is far better than the 458, which does not warrant a higher relative value for the 488.

 

Believe what you want, I’ve driven both (and owned one for 5 years). The Pista is light years ahead of the Speciale (as awesome as that car was)...

The Speciale has it on sound, that it.

The Pista in person is a work of art. It’s the first SE car to beat up on the Challenge Stradale looks wise.

If you think Pistas will EVER drop below their MSRP I have a bridge for sale cheap.

I was offered one for 50 above list in Spain a couple of weeks ago. I think it’s still for sale. Delivery November.

 

I have one on a boat right now, should be here soon. I may sell, I want 100k over. Have some offers already for 50ish. Its tdf. For the comments about burning bridges with Ferrari, ferrari doesn't care anymore. Plus I don't know how many new Ferrari's I'll be buying in the future.

 

Its a free country and you should feel free to sell the car if you want to. What makes you say Ferrari doesn't care anymore? Do you mean they don't take care of you as a good customer or that they no longer care about flipping?

 

They care. Nothing has changed. Flip a Pista before 6 months, probably won’t get another allocation.

 

Yeah thats what I know as well but wondering about his take on the subject.

 

Take the money and run. I was on the fence with my TDF and I should’ve kept it two months instead of two years

 

I flipped both my 488 coupe and 488 spider before 6 months, have a pista coming. They don't care, plenty of other people have flipped, the dealers may have a policy, but Ferrari itself doesn't care.

 

Totally agree they dont care anymore - public companies get paid to care about velocity and turnover. Opposite of what ferrari used to be about.

 

About flipping.
