Seems really REALLY high priced, but then again, I can't afford one anyway. Close to Enzo money? Looks nice... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ferrari-1995-F50-1995-FERRARI-F50-EXTRAORDINARY-COLLECTOR-CAR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6212QQihZ012QQitemZ220183707602QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW I guess they are rare.

...smells like BLOF ... it seems like every desirable car today is measured by a million dollar car status ... (tha late 80's crazyness boom is back )
Just like the '70's clothing style, everything come's fullcircle eventually. Can someone loan me $1M with a low interest rate and a 50YR payment plan!
I believe there is a difference between the 80's and today. Back then it was irrational exuberance - totally inflated due to speculation. Today I believe it's legitimate appreciation based on an increase in global wealth. The interest in collectibles has grown considerably in the last few years.
US version F50s are arguably even more difficult to find than Enzos so one can understand excessive pricing like this. That being said .. I'm with you at the $700k estimate give or take. $900k seems unrealistic. Perhaps the dealer is fishing to see if he gets lucky (hence the "make offer" option). Someone make a $650k offer!
Try finding one that is available without regard to condition- Difficult. Then try finding a perfect one with all the extras, next to impossible.
Agreed, and I think the difference can be quantified by the type of cars appreciating. In the 80s and early 90s, it was pretty much any exotic. Now, it is select exotics that have held on in people's minds as being the best car money can buy. There are actually very few "modern" exotics that are appreciating. F40, F50, Enzo, McLaren F1, Carrera GT.....and that's about it.
360C has it - find another one. In the $800s, I think it would sell immediately. At $935, well, now we will finally discover the market for F50s, which we've discussed here for a while. I'll bet it sells before the auction is over. In fact, I'll guess 10 days on the market.
I'm surprised the feedback is so low... Car looks fantastic. Everyone keeps quoting $650k... the F50 that immediately comes to mind is the yellow-striped Euro car. F40s are up 50% since that car's been for sale, why not a (much rarer) F50?
8-900K is the market for a US car, 600-750 for a federalized EU 95. This isn't way over for a car which would appear to have all the trinkets.
Good quality F50's have not been selling at 800. The only F50 that has sold at an inflated value was the black F50 last summer. The euro car in Florida isn't selling at 650. 700-725 seems the magic number on a "relatively" low miles car. something with less then 1000 would garner 800 IMHO
Hmm I guess the US F50 prices are much more steady than the couple of Europe F50 ads I have seen... I love this car very much...
I know of a US spec car (not for sale) that has a little less than 200 miles on it last I heard and I doubt that car would go for $925k.
I'm betting on pent up demand for US spec F50s, though no I have no way of knowing the number or prices of cars privately changing hands. If I were selling the car, I'd be an optimist, too. In the low 800s, I think you'd sell immediately.
what are ALL those extras and/or trinkets ? ... Removable Hard Top? Driving shoes? don't be surprised if suddenly another F50 s go on sale for high 700's and it seems a good deal I suspect they just set up the market...
