    I'm not willing to pay $30k. But $25k, yes (and only if they're plain weave carbon). Impossible to find a car with plain weave carbon sports seats AND cheap enough for the headache. CA DMV tax is already 10% of the car ($10k min in today's market). I feel $25k is a more than generous personal budget for them. If I can't make it work, I'll just get my challenge seats done and call it a day. Probably save me $22k :).

    If they're plain weave then I'd agree especially considering they're NOS. However...it would hurt to even sit in a NOS set. It's almost automotive art/history in a way.

    Mon dieu. France seems to have some well-specced specimens :)

    I'd love to pay less for a used set, but not one person has responded to my wanted ad :). I'm on the hunt and I do enjoy the chase. Part of the hobby I guess. One of my personal rewards of 355 ownership.

    I have pretty much decided to wait until next year and see what happens to purchase.

    I would love to know everyone’s thoughts on if it’s gonna settle or just keep climbing?

    I see people literally raising prices while the cars are for sale right now, that trend seemingly can’t keep going. I feel like a crash (no pun intended) has to be on the horizon even if it’s a small one.

    I’m just hoping a gated hard top can be bought for under 100k again soon. I don’t even need the untouchable GTS

    I take it you’ve got under $125k?

    I have no idea but I certainly am curious to see where it ends up. Even at $125K for a TMU -- that is strong, strong money.

    Same price for 458 and that’s one well spec’d 458.

    Guys...look at Harry's preview of Silverstone Auctions June Ferrari sale...He saves the best for last (a few lovely 355's) one has CF seats too. The guide prices are all in the 60-90k GBP. Are US prices just super bubble-y compared to anywhere else?

    The vents are in poor shape from the quick glance I took.

    Right hand drive market is significantly smaller.

    The problem with the 458 is that no matter what you do it will always be an ugly car

    All credibility lost when he says the challenge grill is the F1 grill and prevents headers from cracking.

    The red car is a hillclimb champion so it’s a restored race car. Not sure how it should be valued, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.



    Notice it’s a 95? That’s what you need if you want to put down some power ;).

    It's been on the market for longer than 2 months. I think it was even around last year.

    It's a nice combo. I think the mileage being a bit to the higher side is only reason it hasn't sold for their ask.

    Have you seen Verde Silverstone Metallic in person? It's the Swaters Blu of green, but just doesn't cut it, IMO. Looks almost black unless the sun hit is just right. Considered this VSM spider before I bought my car.
