UAF ? I beg to differ. I ordered my F8 s in Nero Daytona with a black and red interior. I think most of us love that combo versus do not. Maybe share what combination you have.
The answer is simple: the market decides. If people loved black with stripes on a red interior car, that 296 would have fetched top dollar. Like Hong Kong Purple on Blanca. That will bring top dollar. Similar trends can be seen with the Z06, for example. Black cars with red interiors don’t sell, but white cars with black interiors are an entirely different story. Yellow 296 with Blue comfort seats and barely any options by comparison will be worth considerably less. A red 296 with black carbon fiber seats and other carbon fiber and performance options, considered standard by most buyers, will push the sticker price beyond $400k. This is regarded as the most desirable spec not just for the 296 but for all Ferraris. The number of 296s for sale has dropped significantly, with many being cleared from the market, while other cars continue their downward trend. Chevy is struggling to move the Eray or even the Stingray. Stingrays used to sell for years with 20% ADMs, and the Z06 commanded even higher ADMs. The Eray initially generated some interest, but its demand completely collapsed. ZR1s aren’t bringing in the ADMs that Z06s did, and although some buyers paid $100k ADM, those days are quickly fading. What happens when the ZR1X arrives? The 296 Speciale encouraged buyers to go for the Assetto Fiorano 296s. The specs are nearly identical, but the Speciale offers slight HP gains too, and is much more exclusive with limited builds. But they did not build that many 296's. By some estimates, fewer than 3,500 296 GTBs were imported into the U.S. That's an extremely small number. Supply and demand will eventually sort things out. There will be less 296 GTB Assetto Fioranos than Speciales too. Only around 10% of the 296 built were ordered with that package. So 1,200 Speciale vs say 400 AF 296 GTB. I am not including GTS.
