How is the Scud market holding up ?

I'm sure you will find isolated examples of Scuds selling 10-50k over MSRP in the US. However, I doubt you will find many. If you are a buyer today, my guess you will still have to pay 100k to find one.

I know of 2 that sold locally for $25k & $40k over sticker.

 

The key word is sold. I still say that at 25k and 40k over, these are isolated examples. Realistically, how many Scuds have changed hands already?

 

I think that these were likely cases that the bad economy had flushed out the flippers, either in a hurry to sell or just not taking delivery. There are probably still some left in the pipeline (i.e. ordered cars). It's a good thing as the Scuderia should go to people who truly want the car to drive/collect than to speculate.

 

Any ideas which dealers might have new Scuds for sale at say 15-25k over?

 

Ferrari dealers are not allowed by FNA to advertise these cars for sale, you sort of having to be connected with the dealers to know about the availability. Or you can stop by often to check on the inventory. I'm also in the opinion that a Scuderia is harder to come by even during the current economic turmoil.

 

According to the previous posters they are readily available 40k or under. I still venture to say you will only find them at that price due a recent hardship caused by the economy, even then they will be few and far between. I've yet to see a US car on ebay or on the classified board at that price.

 

Personally,I don't doubt there are some Scuds selling for 20-40k over when their owners are hard pressed.
I also believe that these examples get snatched up plenty quick by ready buyers and don't linger on the market....

 

denial is an amazing thing... some of you may wanna spend less time on the forum and more time on places like www.bloomberg.com and get a taste of what's happening out there (no offense)... $100k over msrp... ???

 

The proof is in the pudding - show me where you can buy one for 25-40k.

 

True,these 100k markups are long gone in reality but there still is a very strong demand for cars with 25-40k premium.

 

Rob,
I'm sorry if I am coming across as obstinate. I just have a hard time believing that they are readily available at 25-40k. I am sure a few have traded hands for MSRP to 40k, but I'm not convinced that is a true reflection of "market".

I do have an incoming Scud that I ordered directly from a dealer at very little markup many, many months ago (my first ever Ferrari). My Scud should arrive in early November.

 

How did you manage to spec a Scuderia with a Ferrari dealer as your first Ferrari? That's amazing!

 

I had been working with the dealer on a F430 coupe order, just when a Scuderia order slot happened to open up.

 

If you are a buyer, I suggest you call Ferrari of SF. You might be amazed that you can probably get one of these at MSRP, in a realitity short time period (less than 6 months). Call Evan there, I'm sure that he can hook you up, and you won't be paying a premium.

I recently read a thread on this forum that Auto Gallery in Calbasas(sp?) had 3-4 Scuderia's sitting on the floor available...

 

Not that uncommon right now. I have a friend in the exact same situation. Ordered a Spider and was asked if he wanted a Scud at MSRP as someone was cancelling an order. He stayed with the Spider as he wanted the convertible. This is his first Ferrari.

 

It's becoming quite evident that a number of fchat members, even some with 000's of posts, don't know the difference between an F430 Coupe and a 430 Scuderia.

 

I had them ready to do a deal at 365k which was 65k over. This was a month ago. I found a better deal on a better car, so I moved on. I do not wish to disclose the terms of my deal though
