What Will The Long Term Affects Of The Seemingly Limitless Bespoke Options Have On LaFerrari Values

I will put it very blunt. Red standard cars are in the low 3M while non Red cars such as whites blacks yellows etc are holding steadily at 3.7-4M. It seems as though the standard Red isn’t what these new buyers want.

There is a lot less customization in the LaFerraris than there is in the other special editions, such as the Speciale / Apertas and TDFs, mostly because it seems there were just fewer options available to the original owners of the LaFerraris.

Though, that might be a good thing, because there are a lot of, um, uniquely spec'd Speciales & TDFs out there.

 

No, not really. The factory should maintain a certain standard of elegance. They do to a certain extent as they have refused some colours (i.e. pink).

 

Speaking of options, does Ferrari offer fitting the lifting system afterwards to the LaFerrari, if it was not initially specced? Is that even technically possible?

 

No matter the spec and mileage of a LaFerrari ,its value will only continue to grow.

 

Disagree. Next recession they'll drop again as people need cash. When the inevitable replacement comes that'll again have better technology, and as long as it keeps an NA V12, so I imagine LaFerrari values till take a hit then as well.

The ''it'll only ever go up'' statement is false for just about anything, and IMO that thinking signifies just before a bubble pops (I don't think current values of cars are a bubble per se, but a correction will happen)

 

Yes, macro events of recession or depression hurt investment classes like classic cars; however, the added comment that a new Ferrari super car will hurt the resale price of the former Ferrari super car has not been the case. For example, La Ferrari coupe prices have not seemed to be hurt by the introduction of the La Ferrari Aperta. FXX prices have not been hurt by the FXXK.

The reason for this appears to me to be higher demand than production, well-known to Ferrari buyers, and product excellence.

Back to the premise or question of the thread, I don’t see how more costly customization would reduce price. When you look at standard cars you always ask the MSRP to see how loaded the car was. This is pretty standard at least in Ferrari and Porsche buying.

So, if a car is highly specced, I cannot see why that would negatively affect price. It has already been noted that premium paint jobs have been commanding higher prices. Further, if two identical exterior specs were together, but one had spent fifty thousand more inside the car, I believe that one would sell for more money.

The days of buying the most expensive cars in the world and being able only to option power windows or air conditioning are thankfully behind us.

 

I remember reading on here that it was limited on the Aperta due to production constraints. Zanasi, who does the special paints for Ferrari was backed up quite a bit and I also think all the special paint jobs for the 70th cars clogged it up.

 

Depends how a car is done up. If the bespoke options are done in a tasteful fashion, it may help the values, whereas obviously the opposite would occur if you do something too far off the deep end.
