Does Certification Impact Value on TR's?

The cost of the certification for the TR is $5000. I was thinking about it myself but I don't think you would recoup the investment at the sale. For now!

 

for what a certification???

a lot of money for a paper what says what the owner itself knows before. so a good money income for F for doing not much.

for those who are collecting and never driving the cars may be ok, but not for cars still driving around.

a good mechanic and specialist see if the car is ok or not. and who cares about 100% original?

if it would be a very rare car - then ok
but all cars after 1985 are produced so much - except the supercars of course - that this money would be better spend for a new diff

 

I agree!

 

Agreed. I dont need to pay some mechanic, to say I have a really nice original car. I already know that, that is why I bought the one I own

 

Whether you should get your car Classiched really depends on what you have to start with. If you have a higher mileage driver quality car, the certification probably is not going to do terribly much, nor is it likely to do much even if you have a really nice car. However, IMHO, if you have an exceptional low mileage collector quality car, the classiche cert will add to the provenance and only be more appealing to collectors. This is especially true if you are trying to fetch top dollar.

FWIW, my car has been classiched. I loved the process and the beautiful presentation book with the letter hand signed by Piero is pretty cool too.

 

Is that what the price is ?

What the hell happened to 2k ?

 

When I got mine done a couple of years ago I recall the retail price being $3k.

 

I inquired at 3 different dealers and they are all the same. Around $5000.

 

Maybe wait until the end of the year. I have heard from others that the dealers have an annual quota which is difficult to reach. Call in November or December and haggle.

 

The problem with the certificate is unless you sell the car immediately after it means pretty much nothing down the road.

 

So the Clasique Certification process just certifies that a person owns a verified model XXX? For $5K? They check the VIN and verify that everything is Ferrari and not molested or replica?

I can see its value on Uber rare models, but not the TR. At least not the average TR....M maybe.

 

and when those certifiers get knowledge that there is in an other diff they refuse the classiche certification because it is not original, but even better than.
even with the fuse box

cruel world

 

Even on an M, it doesn't seem necessary as a 512TR updated to M-look would be obvious from the year of construction...

 

An M has a really limited production run and also the 512 TR is with its 2.000 units
really small to the standard today.

I think round about 3.000 Euro is a lot of money but i would like to spend them for that
classiche package.

 

.... The flying mirror is also really limited to around 1500 units or so.


It's also the best

 

Full agree!

 

No insults intended, just my opinion Just to clarify my definition of a really nice car (which is mine and definitely collector quality) My car has all original paint (excellent condition), original interior (never dyed and perfect bolsters) 6K miles, Tools, books, luggage, window sticker etc. etc. etc. car shows as new. When I was shopping(6 - 7 years ago) I only wanted the best example available. I looked at several national level platinum winning TR's. They were not quite up to the level I expected from such an award. Needless to say I passed on them, found and purchased what I have. The classiche IMHO is just a piece of paper (just like a platinum) that at the moment of payment says (in the opinion of the provider) is in a certain condition. After that it is any ones guess on how the car is maintained and kept. Thanks, but I will save my money

 

Fwiw, your car would be a perfect classiche candidate

However, since they don't pay me a commission for promoting the service, I am just sharing my opinion. Believe me, if every single f-chatter thinks it is a total screwing, I am not losing any sleep!

Sounds like you and I have similar cars. There are worst things to disagree about then should we get a classiche service on our testarossas!

 

then send me the half and I will give you a certification

 

100 % agree

 

I agree, so to classiche or not to classiche....that is the question But I do know two mirrors are better than one

 

Actually, it's on the average cars you would the certification more than on a cherry car.

This does not effect the classic certification.

Nobody is ripping apart the car to check the diff - that's not part of the validation process.

It's to validate that the trans/engine/ chassis and other parts are original key markings to the car for production.

Joe can explain further the key points since he has gone through the process.

 

I asked about my windshield which is not the original and they said it shouldn't be a problem.
