I’ve been closely monitoring the Speciale and Pista markets for the last couple of months and the aforementioned example is not the only one of late. I won’t name the dealer in FL, but they did the same thing with a Speciale that had a deposit, but the buyer just backed out. Price was then increased substantially before being re-listed. I suspect there’s more of that ahead.
Yeah I agree. All VS Ferraris have skyrocketed the last 6 months. I think it has more to do with an aversion to the current hybrids and these cars being “the last of an era” than tariffs.
Said dealer was also the first one to have listed 458 Speciales at 500k above previous trading prices ($1.3M to $1.8M+). Now even the Ferrari dealers are listing them for that. That dealer also coincedentally happened to have 10 Speciales in their inventory. Same thing has happened with the Pista spider market with the same dealer. Said dealer also has Bugattis and other hypercars listed at 50% more than their recent public auction values.
yeah they’re clearly trying to drive the market up for their own gains but at the same time the cars are trading at auction and dealerships for close to these prices. Image is perception I guess.
