The Dino sold at 550K makes the one on car sales asking 850K look like a total dreamer.....unless I am missing something.......
You missed the rust, and the while we are in there lets fix everything else which inevitably happens, to add and other $200K. I suppose its makes it cheap.
I think the market is definitely softening........Unless the cars are blue chip like F40s etc........
It's not that simple, as Graeme said, it's 550K + time and cost of bringing it to the same condition. Allow 3 years and 300k for a top to bottom resto on a 246 Dino by a reputable / experienced shop to concorso standard. That's 3 years you'll never get back + grief and the end price will be the same. So either pay now and drive tomorrow or pay the same in the end and drive it in 3 years.
Correct. Buy it now, drive it now, enjoy owning a nice Dino, and not give a flying **** about the kind of stuff that would take that amount of money and time to “fix”. And then spend the extra $300k and 3 years enjoying all the other things in life sounds like a pretty decent option to me.
It can be a catch-22 situation,,if you were to buy the dearer/restored one,it's much more likely to never see the road besides the occasional car show,buying the non restored version would more than likely get driven more..
Yep buy it and use it,not much chance of depreciation,in any sound drivable condition it's a Ferrari Dino and in ten years it still will be,hopefully enjoyed and seen buy the public, these things are a treat to see on public roads lifting people's spirits and creating a distraction from just another day .
There's something you don't see every day on Carsales https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Ferrari-250-1963/SSE-AD-5099547
Once again,the voice of vast experience speaks. For those that have never driven a non powersteer Ferrari or FEV12OHOS...........................just STFU,until you have done. Thanx.
