I can identify. I sold a 328 GTB just before they doubled, then tripled! Dave
I know few people who ended up in the same boat. Of course, in 2008-09 they wanted to sell Scuds. They were basically de-contented 430s that sold...
I bought a brand new 430 3 pedal coupe in 2005. I still have it.
Ferrari has built more cars in the last 20 years than the previous 50+. Almost all of them are autos. The percentage of manuals overall is now...
The only comparable situation I can think of in Ferrari history was Daytona Spiders. They couldn't give them away when new but convertibles came...
I thought the bid was high enough. The seller wanted a huge premium for the "unique" color combo. But the interior is unique for a reason. Most...
Here's some simple math. Ferrari only used odd #s up to 75,000 which was reached in 1988 IIRC. They are currently closing in on 300K. So 300,0000...
The idea that recessions don't affect the wealthy is simply not true. Just look at what happened to high end car markets as well as other...
I don't think the GTS is more softly sprung. The B is plenty soft as well. I sold my parts book so can't look up if the shocks, springs are...
I have owned a bunch of varieties of 308s and 328s as well as a 94 348 TB "serie challenge." I tracked some of them too. First: B vs. S. The Bs...
I bought my 3 pedal 430 new 18+ years ago. When I got in to drive it home, I put it in gear, let out the clutch and stalled it. But I adapted...
I have owned a 2005 430 3 pedal coupe since new. Of the 8 Ferraris I have owned, it is by far the easiest to live with in terms of maintenance and...
Gated 430s have been softer of late as well.
Your numbers aren't exceptional from what I've seen. Most buyers incur the biggest expenses soon after buying. At least that's how it went for me...
On the flip side, I bought mine new 8/17/2005. It is a 3 pedal coupe so some common problems are eliminated. My total costs for service and...
I had a '87 GTS red/tan with red carpets many moons ago. Later, I had a '89 GTB with the same colors. I was told some dealers routinely ordered...
That thought occurred to me. I bought my 430 new 17 years ago. Never had an issue and I tracked it a number of times which certainly got the brake...
The high to low variance is less than 10% which is considered good. The absolute values can vary based on equipment, the tester, altitude and...
This car is virtually identical to the one I bought new and still have. The vin is within 80 of mine. They were probably on the same boat! The big...
I owned this car from 2008-2012. Sold it just before prices spiked. It hasn't been driven much since. Dave
