the Ferrari market watch thread

Man, that bull is bull-arse ugly.The interior is even worse than exterior....

**************************************

Whats the go with used Ferrari prices for "sale"?

On websites like Drive/Carsales, i have seen the same Ferraris for months to some even a year or more, unsold.

Why dont the budge on the price, or are the sellers looking for some sort of miracle cashed up wood-duck buyer?

GA is still looking for a M/T F360Mo., nobody wants his $200k, redbook have the 99' listed as trade-price $177k, plenty of scope for a *genuine* seller to make coin on said vehicle at true market price.

He is willing to pay a fair price for one, has the cash [but always cries poor, LOL] no genuine sellers it seems....

PM guys if you have a lead, drink in it for ya.

prefer gallardo./ urraco.


in regards to prices of ferriaris on car sales.

1. most seem to be bought with a LMVD and there is the situation of buying a car without LCT, one must demonstrate that the car is for genuine sale, ever wonder why a nameless person advertisers 2 new rolls royces in the Sunday mail at full tote odds. Once the car has passed 2 years of age the LCT is "lost". The ATO have clamped down on this practise and have fined many dealers for breaking the law.
2. the price with this LCT situation comes in at full retail price cos if the car is sold the dealer loses nothing.
3. if the car is sold to another dealer then LCT is not passed on its only when sold reatil, there are dealers who "sell" to one another by way of dealer disposal form 11 in SA where its all fictitious. Hence confusing those chasing the dealer (ATO), and because the dealer network is by all accounts large it can be demonstarted that the car "is" sold and its some elses problem with LCT. After 2 years the dealer gets the car "sold" back to him and he has a ferrari/ lambo/ porker etc at an owning price without LCT and stamp duty.

this in most cases is the depreciation that "we" all suffer when buying an exotic

 

i actually don't mind it. something different from your average shopping trolly and very 1970's Thunderbirds type look. it's a lot of car (and potential headaches) for the money.

 

not if u do what i did to the urraco

 

Allways thought I wanted a Nagari soft top....was put off by Robs mate Peter J who said they were just a rattly old pile of junk. ( can't remember whether he'd owned one or had a driven a few because he thought he wanted one)

 

no no, dont get confused, he was referring to the E Type!!

 

Actually bought and sold a few E Types, best was an early 3.8 manual coupe, worst was a fat arse V12 auto coupe.

 

Ha Ha

 

P.J once owned a fat De Tomaso Panterra group 4/5? with a lazy cleveland in it.Awful thing just spun when you looked at it.Jon are you related to th J.N that was the Porker dealer in NSW?

a mate of mine had one....huge flared guards....big HP engine.....was an ex race car converted to a road car.

he thought it was fast until i took him for a ride in the F40. man that was funny. he lives in the gold coast now....the car was stolen.

 

How have Trabant prices been faring lately?

 

not a fan

seen it a fair few times

rear grill painted yellow (urgh) - and a Ferrari badge glued to the dash (urgh again)

Sounds glorious though

 

no any history of the car.

 

i forget...but i think only one was raced.

one of the worst cars i'd ever seen. i still make fun of him about it.

 

hmmm....no wonder there are no pics of the rear or the interior.

 

early IMO non flared guard cars I like .
