f40 advice montreal

just got another f 40 for sale....... last one i got 3 months ago from europe,i sold there.... i am really interested in bringing this car up here and sell it here... just not sure of how many people can write the check for a f40 here !

what do you guys think the car is worth ? in canada....

there arent many to get an example from...

 

I'm sure you will find someone you can buy the F40. If you want to sell right away maybe its not a great idea, but if you're in no rush I say bring it to Montreal.
The F40 isn't a car you can use everyday in a city like Montreal, same could be said for a Diablo or a Countach. Whenever I go to John Scotti automotive , I always see some Lamborghini Countach's and Diablo's that have been sitting there more than 3 years.


If the F40 comes to Montreal please tell me. (send me a private message or whatever)
I want to see it!!!

 

Steve,
Bring it out west. Alberta has a lot of money.
Maybe ZR will add another one to the stable

 

Not many.

According to market values and today's currency rates: anywhere from $375K to $430K, Canadian of course.

 

Steve,

It's not street legal, is it?

Where is the car originally from? US? Europe?

 

I would say that it's worth slightly more than that, commanding the "Canadian rare car premium" and would sell for slightly less than half a million.
Bring it in - Toronto is swimming in cash these days.

 

Come to think of it, used Ferrari's do tend to sell for about 20% more in Canada than what they generally go for in the US.

 

I am presently looking for an F40,yellow preferably.I would prefer a euro model with some mileage on it.I don't want a car that has been sitting around for a few years.PM me when you can
I am in Toronto

 

YELLOW F40 WERE COLOR CHANGE CARS..ALL CARS WERE RED AND THEN COLOR CHANGED WHEN DELIVERED...MY CAR IS RED... " EURO SPEC " ORIGINALLY SOLD TO SWITZERLAND...A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE BOUGHT IT AND HAD IT SINCE EARLY 90'S....2 OWNER CAR. ALL BILLS....13000 USD JUST SPENT AT FERRARI. CLUTCH AND SERVICES.... BEST IS TO CALL ME AT 514-823-2277 ...I CAN EMAIL PICS AND CHASSIS #... CALLED ITALY AND VERIFIED THE VIN FOR ANY CRASH OR BODY PARTS ORDERED ...NEVER...MAYBE SOME REPAINT AS USUAL .I GOT A GREAT DEAL AND CAN OFFER A GOOD DEAL AS WELL... SERGIO FROM AUTORUM IS BUYING A 360 01 SPYDER FROM ME...HE IS CRAZY FOR THE CAR TO GO TO HIS PLACE...HE SAYS HE HAS THE BUYER ...A FELLOW FRONT TORONTO... IS THAT YOU??? IN ANY CASE,CALL ME TOMOROW AND WE CAN TALK ABOUUT IT..

 

IT IS STREET LEGAL,1990 FEBRUARY DELIVERY ! 15 YEARS OLD SINCE BUILT...

 

Gooooooooood luck!

I believe that there were only a hand full (and by that I mean less than 5 fingers) of non-red F40's ever produced; let alone a Euro model with mileage. All the F40's I ever came across were garage queens.....and red!

 

$430,000? B, Thats way too much mon ami....I have seen perfect examples in the U.S for less than $300,000.00 U.S.

I could be wrong.

Hey BMWracer........here's the cheapest one that I found.

It's an interesting question that you posed Steve......

Add 6.1 % duty and you are at $343,764 CAD before freight.

And that's for a car on which you cannot "as easily" verify it's pedigree, let alone anything else......as you could on one originally sold in the US for their market....

So for that kind of money....I'd shop south of the border for an original US F40. Black on Black has one for $325K USD "asking"........and Lambo Dallas has one as well....the B&B car would land here at $417,000 CA (more or less)....

I guess for the $74K CAD difference between these cars you'd have some serious due diligence to perform if you were planning to buy one............but that's the nature of the marketplace.....

Crapped out Boxers are another matter entirely......

 

HERE YOU GO, 41000 KMS.... MY CAR IS BELOW 10 000 KM...MY CAR STILL IN THE COLLECTOR BRACKET, THE 41KM CAR IS NOT,IT IS TO REMAIN A DRIVER FOR LIFE !! HUGE MILEAGE. THAT IS WORTH AN EASY 20000 EUROS - 30000 EUROS...

 

Hey steve do u still have that 288 gto.. and is it in ur garage?

 

an F-40 garadge queen? I would have put like 5000 miles on the car the first day I got it. Then the next day I would be screaming WTF HAVE I DONE? What the **** have I done?!?!?!?!?

 

Don't sell it or if you do, unload it in the states and play the spreads on the currency. Extra icing for your cake.
