Clearly , we are in the second wave of CS value rising. Bought mine from an official F dealer, back in 2010, when value was at it's lowest. It definitely was the perfect timing. Having refused an offer of 200.000 euro, 2 years ago, the CS clearly becomes one of those rather Ferraris ''to have" , before it's too late. Already now a classic. And a valuable tip to all owners, all over the world: DON'T SELL IT!
Alright gents, here’s your opportunity to own a “unicorn” CS. The one and only, one-off Grigio Alloy CS (in North America). If you’ve seen a silver CS then you know how beautiful of a color that is on a CS - this is similar but with a hint of blue. Not only is this a super rare one-off CS, this CS was picked up by the original owner at the Ferrari Factory in Maranello via a special “european delivery” of sorts - story is posted here on Fchat. This is the only North American CS (I’m aware of) that was delivered to its lucky owner at the Factory. This CS is meticulously cared for, complete with all records including delivery documentation and photos. This is an incredible, low mileage (~8k miles) collector quality example. Recently serviced and ready to go! PM me if interested. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

On a related thought, I have had my CS since new and still love the drive.I have owned Ferraris since 1974 but have not found later Ferraris as engaging and frankly the price has become excessive. They have lots of power but less personality. Therefore, I decided to try something different. Just bought a 570S because the driving feel felt as engaging as the CS.
Can you tell me more about the driving feel? I always heard that the 570 was great but not even close to the CS.
CS has better noises but the 570 has good power, brakes, balance and a direct steering feel like the CS. The visibility is also excellent. The CS feels light and agile as does the 570. Drive one. FWIW, I did not enjoy the 650S I drove as it seemed sterile although with great power. Drove a Huracan but thought visibility was very poor.
I see. I drove them both and they felt like day and night to me. The 570 is new technology but it does not have the personality/character of the CS. Sound and old technology are key factors in driving feel. I personally think new cars are becoming more boring, and I’m including also new Ferrari in that category.
Totally agree that most new cars are boring. Way too much computer involvement. Will not sell the CS. Added the 570S and also have a Z06 C7 Corvette with a manual transmission which is fun but nowhere near as balanced a feel as the other 2. I too have found the newer Ferraris lacking in soul and personality. Boring and only fun at speeds that are not practical unless on a track.
They're all stickers. They aren't painted from the factory. The sticker is under the clear coat Sent from my BBB100-3 using Tapatalk
So your CS never had a factory stripe? If not, that's a pretty cool way to put one on there. My CS didn't have a stripe from the factory. I put a decal on there when I bought it in 2010. I'm seriously considering removing the decal and going sans stripe. Why? just to switch it up.
