    Have had this car since 2015. It’s been great. In that time, I’ve maintained it very carefully. Put in a Ron Davis radiator, major service last year, new hoses, accumulators, a new window ECU, etc. Other than the occasional 1211 CEL and ABS light, which we haven’t been able to fully eliminate (but that cause no issues), she’s mechanically excellent. Shifts well, fabulous power, etc. A good, well sorted driver with 8/10 paint and interior, full tools, extensive records (but not 100% there for some earlier owners), and full factory luggage. Sticky-no-more redid various interior components, leather is excellent, OEM stereo is there, etc.

    Title is clear and in my name. The only issue is some earlier owners or DMV recorded an extra digit in an early registration renewal, leading to a “not actual mileage” entry on its early history. all other entries and the maintenance records show the miles increased at a normal, reasonable pace through its whole life, so I believe the indicated 24,xxx to be completely accurate. I drive it 1000 to 2000 miles a year.

    I’m trying to assess the market a bit. I have a bit of an itch for something different, but I do love the car. I would keep it at $50k. I would certainly sell at $100k. There is a break point somewhere in between, and I’m trying to figure out where she might lie.

    Would love folks input on what she’s worth. If you might be interested yourself, feel free to PM me. Happy to answer questions.

    Watch the BaT car, assess it's sale, then go take 250+ pro photos, 5 videos, undercarriage shots, put it on the website and see what the market yields. (yes I know it's GT vs M, but will be a good recent comp...)

    Hell, that luggage set is worth $5-7K by itself anyway.

    Also curious because I also have a 95 and I might be living out of it soon (big life changes) so I was thinking put mine on bat and see how it does. Mine is black/black which doesn’t seem like a value adding combo, but I wonder if the yellow will hold it down a little. It’s possible. Yellow is a polarizing color I’ve noticed. But, I feel like our cars should be worth at least 75k. But? They still haven’t popped yet.

    I’ve never seen another in yellow. It’s unreal in person.

    You might also take a look at the 95 at Mohr imports - it is listed at $69k, but it has been on sale for close to a year - perhaps longer. Just checked and they still have it listed. Higher mileage than yours, but might be a reasonable comp.

    Beautiful... I like the yellow... maybe as much as my Azzuro Monaco 1995 456GT... I may have actually preferred the yellow as it is so unique. I think you should easily be in the same range as the one on BaT!!

    I like the yellow too, a lot. Someone on here was selling a black on black 1995 456 manual about 6 months ago. It sold pretty low, like $45K, but maybe there were some serious issues, that owner wasn't disclosing? I really considered buying it. The 456 and 550 are the only ferrari's that haven't gone up in price in the last few years, at least that I follow. 308, 328, 355, 360 are all up a lot.

    After today's BAT auction close, I'd say it's a good time to sell if you think you can live without her... market seems very hot for 3 pedal 456's and your color combination is both rare and eye-catching.

    I would personally wait. The top of the market is going up and making headlines, but drivers grade cars haven’t reaped the benefit yet. In my worthless opinion, you get a huge boost from Giallo but the black interior cars seem to be sitting much longer. I think the $69k for the Mohrs car is a decent comparable, but if they can’t get that I’m not sure you could either, especially since the Mohrs car has provenance as a former BAT car and yours has some aftermarket work and weird Carfax scarlet letters. Monza is a popular color for the 456, not as much as TDF / Pozzi, but much more than most others.
    So, if you get two people who really want Giallo, maybe you crack the mid 70’s. If not, I think you’re under $65k. But I would probably spin the luggage off either way, and I would probably wait until 456’s are front page cars for the Hagerty’s magazine (bound to be soon). One man’s opinion.

    A 456M manual and a 456 manual are completely different animals price-wise in the current market. I personally don't get it. I think the non-M's look better inside and out. The M is no faster. Many non-M's have the M window seal update. Main difference is rarity. But, I don't claim to have good tastes or mainstream tastes for that matter.

    I do agree about non-black interior, or single color interiors. Something very appealing to me about a black dash and a lighter color lower half.
