Hagerty consistently puts a 50K premium on gate shifted cars on their valuation page. That may be excessive but that's their valuation for what its worth.
Probably only for pristine examples. Maybe half that for drivers. My '00 manual coupe was about $15K over equal F1's three years ago. What gets me is that I expected prices to drop on all luxury vehicles with the COVID scare, and every sector went up! Read an article on used class 1-3 RV's a week or so ago, and the dealers and salesmen had almost no stock! Held off on buying a yellow manual 456M - the only one of its kind in north America - because I thought the price would go down and most don't want a yellow 456M and somebody bought it almost immediately! But whatever. Just waiting on the right 2+2.
Well as a comedian said recently-/. ‘At least now we all know how we will die . have a drink’ I suspect yolo at play.
Had a similar experience with Blue 360 spiders.. Ones that i expected to go down in value post shut down all sold within a couple weeks of each other.
So I have a Grey Market 2000 Ferrari 360 Spider with the gated shifter. The car has some service records but certainly not 100%. I did have my mechanic go through the car thoroughly. With a few exceptions of minor things needing replaced which I fixed, he referred to the car as “top-notch”. It is complete with manuals, tool kit, two keys and three fobs, etc. condition is “driver”. No paint or accidents. Everything works as it should with no issues. Drives wonderfully. It has over 100,000KMs which translates to about 63K miles. Here is the problem. I love this car more than any other I have had. But my girlfriend wants to buy a new house. I will stall as long as I can. However, if I lose the battle (and I will), what is a proper value for this car in today’s market? I am eagerly awaiting your opinions and I thank you in advance.
Keep the car. Sounds like you will regret selling it. You won’t easily be able to get one like it back. Is she selling her... (Insert 70-85k personal asset) ... to buy the house? Especially if you own the car, not the bank it may only help with down payment. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
if you love the car and the girlfriend loves you... she wont make you sell the car...keep the car find a new girl. Kidding aside this looks like a good comp. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-ferrari-360-modena-7/
Jesus dude, do not buy a house with a girl you're not ready to marry. Worst case scenario is market drops hard, you suddenly have negative equity in the house and she decides to break up. Now you're stuck with a roommate ex-girlfriend bringing new dudes home to bang and you have to listen to it. No ring = no combined finances, no going into business together, and absolutely no owning a house together. No exceptions!!!
You seem to be wound a bit tight. I did buy her a ring, we are engaged, and getting married in Hawaii this summer. If the market were to drop as you say, she loses $200,000k and I lose $70,000k. I was just looking for an educated value on my car, just in case. Not a life coach. Thank you for your concern but...dude...
Food for thought! I don't know you guys but scammers always make it seem like they're in for more than you are!
Pros: MT, good recent maintenance, books & keys Spider(arguable) Cons : Covid, bad economy. Lot of miles, grey market car, Early year, Spider(arguable), Here’s a 2001 euro car with 40+ less miles than yours, on Cars.com with Ask price 79k https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/815026716/overview?aff=share_other Yours Maybe 65-70k Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
What am I missing? Why not just move into her house and work some mutual financial arrangement on the house and keep the car?
