Why so many pricing threads?

I think for the BSD element of this group the value is the enjoyment hence all the threads

You'll be trying to convince them that these are actually cars and they should be driven next.......

 

I have no problem with the pricing threads. In fact, I think they are helpful to folks who aren't "car guys/gals" that are considering an F-car for the first time. We have to remember that there can be a significant difference between the advertised asking prices and what the cars are actually selling for.
I say leave things as they are and if you don't want to read pricing threads, don't.

And if you want to get to more options on threads, etc., then Subscribe. The subscription areas are much, much better than the non-subscribed threads IMO.

 

There are tons of pricing threads because there is clearly not a bubble People are buying up and selling these cars for enjoyment, not financial gain. I mean remember all the pricing threads that used to exist before 2013?

Yeah neither do I

 

I like your idea of "vehicle market discussion". Would you also put in subheadings, 360/430. 308/328, F40/50 etc. or would you do it by years, or by Era (Enzo, Fiat, Montezemolo)?

Definitely subscribe, you won't regret it; much better IMO (If I'd known how much better it was, I would have subscribed much early than I did)

 

+1

 

+ 2 I found it very useful when I sold my 430 and purchased my 458. Real data not BS ask prices.

 

It's all very interesting isn't it. Can't wait to read those threads again in 5-10 years time.

 

Subscribed vs. "Not subscribed"? I stop by here most days, but if I miss a day or two, pushing the "New Posts" button takes me back to all the posts I haven't seen. What is the benefit of "subscription"?

 

This.

At this point, a lot of guys are cashing out and a lot of newbies are looking for confirmation that an '80s Testarossa is really a six figure car.

I'd like to say things are better over in Porsche-land, but frankly it's equally insane there.

In the meantime, I just drive and enjoy. Won't be buying anything till the froth subsides.

 

+ me, too! While I buy cars to drive and enjoy, i like the potential of some level of asset preservation. If a car I own appreciates, so much the better. And, Ferrari IS a blue chip of collector cars, thus there will always be speculation on price. The fact is, they are desirable and most models are at least somewhat rare.

BTW - for the life of me, I cannot understand why some have to be "Debbie Downers" about the current high values in every one of these threads. Almost angry about it. The sky is falling! We're in a bubble! I'm clairvoyant! Who cares if they are priced high or not right now...relax, will ya?

 

The Porsches are significantly more overheated than the Ferrari are. And that says alot. Surprised many haven't noticed.

 

What ever happened to that old expression." If you have to ask you can't afford"

 

I actually enjoy reading the crystal ball nonsense mostly from non Ferrari owners.

 

You don't need a crystal ball or a Ferrari . Just look at the history books. The answers are all there

 

please look in your history books and tell me when the next analogue cars will be upon us?

that may have an impact on these crazy prices.

for now, it is fun watching our cars appear more dear

 

And continuing to circle-jerk in greedy self-absorbed euphoria. And, because of the current paddle-only era "it's different this time". Because Ferraris are no longer manual, prices will hold or go up. See how that prediction pans out over time for you. And while you're at it, try explaining why in the final years of Ferraris being offered in manual, almost NOBODY ordered them. Because like you just said, everyone wants a manual LOL.

 

no one wanted that piece of crap sls benz when new either. now I cannot find a deal anywhere

who knows what will happen? I will just roll with the punches for now.

 

History books ? Maybe mystery books . Either way I find it all entertaining.
