    I think low mile pristine examples are always going to command top dollar. And that car is a museum piece since as soon as you drive it the value will plummet. Pricing is all over the board but definitely are pointing to a buyers market. Even the low dollar priced examples listed don’t seem to be moving. I have specific criteria for the one I might want to get but the pricing is still around $20K -$30K too high. I know the days of sub $100k for a fully serviced great condition car are most likely gone but some of these asking prices just don’t reflect today’s reality. So I’m still on the sidelines watching.

    As noted before, anyone can see what's already manifest.

    And nothing moves linearly, except the peanut gallery froth.

    Rare color, under 12,000 miles, recent service, and classische certified. That gives a good idea of the high end of the market. The only things that might drive a higher price would be monospecchio (might impact value a little) and documented special provenance.

    This is a great spec but not a top of the market car. Based off the seat and engine bay wear. Also only having comprehensive service records from the last couple of years.

    Good callout. I looked more closely at the pics. There is definitely more issues with the paint than I would expect on a 12,000 mile car. The passenger mirror looks more like a 112,000 mile car, and front bumper has a lot of chips, also. The paint on my 78,000 mile car is in better condition. I guess the dilemma for an owner is whether it’s better to repaint the damaged areas, or leave as-is for preservation and originality.

    It will always be cool, unusual original factory colors so regardless of stone chips, that plus low miles makes this one stand out among the usual alternatives. But, a monospec red tan low miles luggage red book cream puff my guess is the valuation top dog.

    Probably how it was parked. Gas pedal and steering wheel match 12k.

    Quote from the details: "The accompanying digital Ferrari Classiche certification and Red Books validates the original factory colors and more importantly, confirms the numbers-matching engine can be found under the rear hatch. The gearbox (numbered 5185) is recorded to be a correct-type non-original unit. ..." Beggs the question as to why the non-original gearbox at such low miles or is this just my misunderstanding.

    Seems a little low on that price. Probably saved a bit so he can spend 6k on new wheels and tires.

    I followed that bringatrailer auction pretty closely, and almost put a bid in. (I'm just on the wrong side of the country). i didnt like that the seller was not up front about the bad condition of the dash pad, and would not say why the previous buyer backed out of the deal.
