Speciale Market

Amazing! Congratulations. Ford GT is the next target for sure. May have to move a 991.1 GT3RS and a 992 GT3 to make room but seems like a good trade off long term. Enjoy in good health

 

Thanks! I sold my 488 Pista last week. Loved the car, but it just doesn’t provide the same fun factor for me personally as the Speciale does. Also made $60k on it, so not a bad trade off. I also decided to sell my 911 Speedster. I’ll clear $30k on it. I don’t think the Pista or Speedster have the same upswing as the Speciale or Ford GT, so I was fine with selling them.

 

Is your 992 GT3 a manual? If so, I may be interested.

 

I have heard it is tough getting tires for the GT. Is that something you have heard about?

Well, that’s weird. It removed my reply. I have not tried finding original size tires for the car. Mine has newer tires on it, but I have already ordered aftermarket wheels with tires so I can set the factory ones aside. With a lower stance, it should look killer!

 

Not really,although I have my original Goodyears,most of us use Bridgestone Scuderias. They are available from several sources.

 

Correct, getting FGT tires is WAY easier than getting Diablo tires.

 

Driven 296 GTB review @ 8:00: "...I want to say that something like a 458 Speciale is still, just because of the way the engine screams, and because of how light and wild it feels, that's still kind of my benchmark pinnacle mid-engine Ferrari...."

 

Ferrari Ft lauderdale now with a black coupe with ask of 699.9. Yikes!

What’s considered low miles?
Have 2300 miles on my coupe
770 miles on my Aperta

Lower than mkt. 3 yrs ago was <1k miles, 1 yr ago <2k miles, now <3-4k miles. I'm sure will continue to increase.

 

And this car is now showing pending sale at an asking price of 699k. Low miles and good looking but doesnt appear to be a super special spec. Sheesh that escalated quickly.

 

As it becomes more clear that Ferrari is no longer making cars desirable for "purists" the higher the prices will become...(i.e. hybrid only, no more V8s, and moving towards all electric)

Revisit this in 2025, and I am presuming $699 will be a bargain for a Speciale...

 

Maybe it was owned by Ben Roethlisberger?

I agree. So many cars have moved to a collector car mentality with EV coming quickly that cars like the Speciale, Ford GT, SLS AMG, etc. will see solid appreciation over the next 12-18 months IMO.

I just bought a 458 Speciale, red with blue nart stripe last week. Negotiated $60k off their posted asking price. Feel pretty ok with the deal even though its over 500, but I'm going to make it a "forever" car. 100k miles or bust.

 

Congrats, these are amazing cars, most definitely worthy of a “forever” car! Share a pic? Mileage?

That is an interesting spec with a very high MSRP at 471,000+. The window sticker has a line that shows other options at 133,000+ and I wonder what all the options are to total that? Did see carbon fiber floor plates and I haven't seen that one until now. The yellow trim paint on the engine looks good, different.
