    I've very curious where the car will sell at and this ad is very captivating to follow!

    This is one of my favorite cars of all time, I just wish they were back to 2014 prices so I could actually afford one myself.

    Good luck to the seller!

    It's frustrating to conclude I have to sell her. Having said that, a friend just emailed and suggested that eventually the price I am selling might justify just putting her into long term storage! Still, at the moment there is a great deal there for someone who wants a Stradale with all the bells and whistles.

    Hey Andrew - Put her up in storage. Up in Maryland that is! ;) I will be happy to only drive her two miles a week as you suggest - OK, maybe not. But I promise to enjoy her for you and take great care of her.

    GLWS!

    204k is still too high for me. I would love to own it.
    When you are really ready to sell it, post the out of the door price.

    Decided to pursue a new but time limited opportunity here in Hong Kong (hint: it floats, and yes, I've heard all the jokes :). CS now priced to sell. $199900. This is the best priced Rosso Scuderia CS in the country (any lower have accident or fire damage).

    Thanks everyone for the interest over the past few weeks. I am removing the listing at the end of the week, as I am placing the car on consignment with a local dealer. The best price is 'now' if anyone has genuine interest.

    That is correct Steven because in my opinion this was a horrible way to market and sell a car. Think of this: The way this "reverse auction" was setup the owner turned his car into a depreciating asset every week that it stayed on the market. He even stated,

    "The price is firm each week so please no haggling"

    So this car started at $219K. If I wanted to buy this car for $200K, I would have to wait 19 weeks to do so!!!???. A friend once taught me that when you want to do a deal, time is not your friend.

    What about ROI(Return on Investment)?? If you have $200K in your pocket today, you have capital to leverage to get a return back on your money rather than holding this car and watching it depreciate every week. Plus, you have the carrying costs of Insurance, Maintenance and Storage.

    There is a reason that people don't sell their cars using "Reverse Auctions". The reasonse above are just a few.

    Well, it would be a boring world if we all did things the same way. It may have been a 'horrible' way to sell the car, but then again, someone could have purchased it during the past few weeks. I too concluded that monitoring it week after week, a $1000 at a time, for 'up to a year' would have proven to be a bit tedious. Still, the final price offered will prove to have been a great purchase if someone had pulled the trigger. I can only conclude that the market has cooled considerably, or that selling outside of a recognised dealer is much more difficult than expected for high end cars. Thanks for all that expressed an interest. I'll post a final sale notice when that takes place. Cheers to all.

    Well, much to my amazement, it looks like the car is sold (caveat: subject to deposit being received!) Thanks to everyone who expressed an interest.
