F355 Market

Can you list what cars were the highs each year (model year, body type, transmission)?

 

Remember Jeff, most 355's sell privately. I believe that $211K sale was the serie fiorano

 

I understand that, but I’m guessing that johnk’s Data comes from a public source so I think everyone on here (given the topic of the thread) would find it interesting to know what cars commanded the high end prices.

These are auction sales and reflect the trends. If people are paying more at auctions I would presume the same applied to private sales.

And remember a high or low sale can skew the average a lot because of the limited number of cars included in the average.

Some years Spider have the top sale, some B's.

 

Yes, the $211k in 16 was a Series F as was the as was the $126k in 18.

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

If you remove the top sale from the average you get an modified average of:

2016 $74.8k
2017 $71.1k
2018 $75.6k

And the year is only 1/2 over.

There is certainly an up trend at auctions. That can't be bad.

 

Yes, but the first 1/2 of the year is definitely the highlight for sellers (and prices). I'm guessing that if you check the stats for 2018 this time next year, you'll find the 2016-17 downtrend continuing.

 

Boy, when I said prices peaked back in 2016 and were coming down I got blasted. Now that I'm saying they have botttomed and will start to rise, I'm getting blasted. Well, go to Burger King and you can have it your way.

 

I still like you and we have not even met yet

 

Don’t sweat it. Just like the stock market, the mass majority of people are always behind the curve.

 

Too good to be true? 1995 F355 Spider, 37K miles, on eBay with a BIN of $41,600. Well, it did have, and an opening bid of $32,750. But now it seems to have changed to an opening bid of $37,500 and no BIN.

If it is a real car, what needs do you see?

 

Damn! I would drive that. Kills the market though ☹️

Saw that also, description states a price of $45,000...too good to be true?

 

Seems to be right in line with realistic sales pricing to me.

 

That is someone saying F’it, market is not going in my direction and I want out, others be damned. Good time to buy.

I thought my 95 348 at $36 was good deal for a driver, needing nothing and I sold it for that to hop into my 355. I think 348 are sub $50k cars at all versions, maybe even sub $40 as we see from time to time, but 355 should stay north $50k unless super high mileage or grossly conditioned. Maybe that is the case on this one????

Speaking of 348’s, not to get off on a tangent, but this listing is amazing:

Marshall Goldman is always a great laugh. Has some really cool low mileage cars that are priced to appeal to the .001 of people who want the absolute best at the highest price so they can brag about it at the club. More power to Marshall

I tried, but wasn't able to contact the seller of the $37,500 F355 through eBay. I keep getting an error message.

 

The past 24hours I have been attending Premier Auto Auction in Allen Texas, suburb of Dallas.

I took 4 cars to thin the heard and put the 355 in for grins. If anyone knows anything about smaller auctions, they are dealers selling to dealers or dealers trying to poach little old men and wives. The entry level cars tend to sell pretty well and I sold my 2001 M5, my 1990 Prelude, That was an oops when I bought it and my 1988 Ramcharger. Sold those three pretty easily and for a modest profit, well I did well but had some carrying cost and I lost on the Prelude to bail out. Still, nice positive cash flow.

Ferrari’s never sell well at these things, but took it anyway just to see and maybe move on. I really want a beater, high mile daily to run into the ground. Most of us would consider that a $45-50k car. There were 2 355’s, my GTS and a Gated 99 Spider as well as a 4K mile 430 F1 (?) the 430 went first and stalled at $105k. 355 Spider went 2 cars ahead of me and bidding stopped at $67 and that was all the money. But I am sure they wanted $80. I know the owner and she is serious about her special order TDF Spider. Gated car with full factory carbon package. Doors, Console, binnacle, center stack.

Then my car. No bids, Ha, nada, nothing! Fake first bid at $50k. What a joke, but it has cemented my desire to keep and just drive it. Screw it, going to just wear it out. Awesome car. Love it, nothing sounds better and no jackwad dealer is going buy for back of wholesale or even my high retail. No one will really pay what a fully sorted, no needs, no services due for next 4-5 years F355 is really worth, l say priceless

Happy high speed motoring. Cheers!

I’m feeling the same way. The cost to sort and maintain the car is too high not to drive the doors off.

 

Bah Humbug! Lots of car for sale in Europe with over 40k miles.

 

Yeah....seems Europeans drives theirs more. I noticed that a lot when I was in the 348 market.

 

No affiliation.

Sub 15K 95 Berlinetta Nero / Beige VIN ZFFPR41AXS0100971

I think car brings $10-15k more if service was recent. Coming up on the 7 year edge for me, but 1995 is the perceived premium we all seem to agree on here. Not sure of lighting, but prefer darker interior. That almost looks creme? I guess that is proper Beige?
