    The white car should be asking 350,000

    I can. He could have replied in a nicer manner and perhaps said something like "you can also see more on Bianco 550s here" and added the link. I felt that he was trying to shut down my new thread, which he has done in past - and took offense to it. My post is primarily in regard to the price/value of the new listing - two different topics...

    Back on topic...I'm curious to know how you came up with a $350K for a value on the Japan market car? That is quite a bit beyond what we have been seeing for the best US market 550s.

    These cars are worth every penny of 350,000 and like you said yourself it’s very very rare. How many people can have a white 550?

    Well, what would you suggest for a car is one of just a very few in special order Blue Sebring? One that was was allegedly owned by a a celebrity athlete as well. Does that make it also worth similar money? (asking for a friend!) ;-)

    Once you go beyond US cars, there are more options to find one in Bianco Avus. I agree that it's unique and attractive. Still, my opinion is that the current 550 value cap is around $300K tops. That's why I wanted to open a thread to see what others think the market is for some of these outlier cars.

    Appreciating value is tricky. On one hand, we may want values to be low in order for many of us to acquire these special and desirable vehicles. On the other hand, increasing value turns the cars into an asset...and likely leads to better preservation of these vehicles.

    Blue brings top dollar for the 550 maranello, ask any car expert with software that compiles data across all sales and they will tell you that blue is the color that brings the most money for the 550

    My trend analysis of the main auction sites confirms blue as top bid getter. However, a white one has not passed through yet.

    Be nice to @Ferrari55whoa he was trying to help and you read his message with malice when none was intended. Give some grace with written messages as you miss tone and context.

    as it happens, he was trying to help as he believes white is the holy grail.
