The F50 Thread

Not my specialty, but under the circumstances of you joining your daughter while she attends school, I would consult one of the main shipping companies and inquire about a temporary import bond.

 

What is happening to F50 prices?

• Australian yellow F50 for sale: owner just rejects $8.2m offer
• Silver F50 of DK Engineering. Sold. Ask was $8.5m just before and during Monterey Week
• French-owned yellow F50 which was for sale (ask £6.2m inclusive of commissions) now under offer
  
• Owner of yellow F50 in the US refers comfortably to his car as a $9m one (Shmee took my 9 million dollar Ferrari!) . This car was not so long ago sitting at Bingo Japan not selling for a year or so. (Nice video by the way with both the driver and passenger expressing the happiness-while-in-an-F50 very persuasively)
• Low mileage red F50 bought by UK broker in June/July from HK getting recommissioned now prior to sale (based on purchase price, transport, import duty and recommissioning costs and profit, it will not be much below $8m - close to £6m)
• The owner of a yellow F50 in a class all by itself receives a message from a heavyweight in the business ‘would you contemplate $10m for yours’.

Confidence in price growth seems to be swelling since Monterey Week last month. And this despite the tariffs in the US

Therefore one might be tempted in believing that we are getting into another growth cycle after a lull of 3 years. In which case owners should sit on their cars unless really tempted.

But one should realise that CAGR gets restricted when cars get more expensive...

…As well as keep in mind all the economic and geo-political challenges around.

 

It’s all getting very interesting , we are in the process of trying to secure an orginal owner F50 and 288 GTO at present.. but the numbers are north of 18 million for both cars.. both sub 3k miles.. Owner wants a lot more.. not sure if we are going to get this done.

 

What did the owner use? People are out of this world…

 

Since QE was mentioned in those screenshots, I will add that Bessent has gone on record as saying the Fed made mistakes for a long time by doing QE and driving up asset prices and that he wants the Fed balance sheet down trillions and also to have short term rates low. Actions speak louder than words so we'll see if we do get more QT and a lower Fed balance sheet and no more QE. If that is the case, asset prices will stall imo. The F50 in addition to others, but the F1 as mentioned has already stalled for a few years for reasons as said in those slides.

 

The one brand name missing from the big 3 (F1, CLK GTR, and GT1)was Ferrari and it took some time and I think it ended up being the F50 and literally it has been an explosion in price but I am babbling right due to being over served too much hundred acre red wine.

 

Which one is the $10m yellow F50 that's talked about here? Is it the other US spec Yellow F50?
