F50 Price

Let us start with the 60k km F50 sold at RM in Munich.
Hammer: €4.3m. Add for the first 200k: 15% plus 19% VAT, and thereafter 12.5% plus 19% VAT you get €4,945,575 (the published data is misleading as it ignores the VAT payable - as if it’s not real money paid by the buyer on site).

Given the unusually-high 60k km mileage of the car, you will pay a premium of 25% or 30% to get to an average-low mileage of 8k km similar F50. The later will be at £5.4m to £5.6m.

 

Spot on, people often overlook the VAT and buyer’s premiums, which really add up. €4.95m is the real out-the-door cost, and the mileage premium on these high-km F50s is huge. Even at 60k km, it’s a solid car, but the low-mileage examples always command that extra 25–30%. Makes you appreciate how rare sub-10k km F50s really are.

 

These F cars have moved on, you are now looking at 10 million plus US for a perfect F50 or 288 GTO..

Gallery Aaldering in the Netherlands currently proposes a European F40 (with 10,598km) for €3.3M - I wonder how it would cost to make a perfect example from it; if less than €1M it should be a bargain

 

These cars are only original once.. they are the ones that everyone is chasing.. anyone can make a car look great or perfect, but that is not how they came out the factory.

 

If it sold for 4.872m euros inc RM commission, isn't the 19% VAT (or 15% tariff if coming to US) on top of that ? So real cost is actually 5.78m euros...roughly 6.6-6.8m usd ...or is my maths wrong

 

VAT is only on the auction house fees; being a used car, there is no VAT on the net selling price (it's assumed a VAT has already been paid in the EU when the car was first purchased, and VAT is only collected once).

 

Got it thanks

 

But I suspect the 15% tariff would still apply to total if bringing it in to the USA

 

Not 2.5% + 15% ?
