SCUD pricing guide

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh.....

My friend if you are judging a car simply by production numbers you're completely missing the point!

 

Where dd you get your numbers on scud and 458 special production?

 

I'm not judging by production numbers but more importantly the performance compared to the 430 Scud and 458 Speciale because I got a chance to drive them both. The real fact is that 430 Scud is the "middle child of the limited series N/A V8 light weight Ferrari's."

 

Did you find the Speciale to be significantly more refined and less raw in terms of driving experience compared to the Scud?

 

Whats the source of your knowledge?

I'd be surprised if the speciale was produced in less numbers considering ferrari's market has increased significantly in the past 10 years. Keep in mind these were not limited production cars and the scuderia was launched during a recession.

 

Having driven both, yes the speciale is more refined and digital feeling. And IMO, not all that different on the street from a regular 458 which can be had for $160k. The CS is the rawest of the three, but if you can't own them all, then the "middle child" gives you a taste of both worlds.

 

The UK numbers I have seen posted on this site showed much higher numbers for the Speciale than the Scud. Obviously the UK is only a small percentage of total production, but for other more recent models it has been one of the only sources out there to extrapolate production numbers.

 

No truer statement anywhere - your saving yourself $200,00 plus

 

$200,000 might be more then a little light

Yeah,
It sounds like coolant from a leaking truck on a sharp turn was it's demise......slid into an RV.
Totalled???

 

I bet someone said that about Henri Oreiller‘s 250 GTO. Not that a Scud is really comparable to a 250...

 

..........If the price is right???

 

Now there one less Scud. gone then 1500 world build left and the number keeps going down and the value keep going up

 

Not the last 12 months....but nothing convinces you otherwise....basically a broken record.... I checked and over 50% of your posts are about how Scuds are either going up, or the best investment ever. lol

 

Scuds have gone down in price over the last year. Cars aren’t great investments in my opinion

Dream on Kiddo, you wish you had one

 

At least I speak the truth, what do think is going to happen they only made 1500 Scud. world wide and how many are left now , you think the Scud. prices are going to go down ?????????????????????

 

Looks like collectable cars have been the number two investment over the last decade in the S&L luxury index. That does no mean they will be a good investment going forward but over the last decade they seem to have done more than just ok and probably better than most investments you or I hold in our portfolio if I were to guess... Of course nobody knows for sure what the next good investment is...

"While classic cars have been one of the best asset class over the past 10 years - beating art, wine, watches and the S&L Global Luxury Index - jewellery pips it to the post to rank as the strongest alternative investment, growing in value by 235pc over the past decade. This was driven largely by increases in the value of gold, which hit an all-time high in September 2011."

I seen that Article also good read

 

Like any investment, it depends where you bought. I suspect if you purchased last year, a scud has not been a very good investment for you. While prices of collectible cars shot up over the last several years, prices have deflated for most over the past year, as noted in the article.

I'll also mention that buying a Ferrari to use and buying a Ferrari as an investment are in direct conflict with each other as increasing mileage equates to decreasing value. Less so for '50s and '60s cars, but definitely the case for more recent ones.
