Help with a plan. 360 CS/430 Scud/458 Speciale
Discussion
So plans are afoot in our household. As much as I have loved owning a lambo I am thinking of getting rid to make way for a prancing horse, the problem is which one?
I'll be honest, I am not sure I can push for a 458 Speciale, so the options are 360 CS or a 430 Scud. From what I understand both cars will be great to drive but what kind of spec should I be looking for in each and roughly what kind of price range. I've seen RHD scuds advertised from anywhere between £190 - £250K. Thing the highest price one was a car that had done 600 miles or something like that.
Finally, should the man maths kick in is the extra cash worth it for the 458 Speciale?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
This is what may have turned me. It sounded fantastic. Much nicer noise than the lambo I think.

Talking of the Challenge Stradale only:
Spec is fairly consistent across the range but use www.challenge-stradale.com to start with history check. Be meticulous as there are some that are imported (from Asia) and some that have been damaged and repaired.
The stripes, if present should be original and painted and command a premium to non-striped cars. Be careful that those that have stripe stickers, can have them removed without damage to the paintwork. Alcantara commands a premium to leather, and those with rollbars should be factory delivered and integrated. An immaculate service record will also command a premium. I wouldn't accept gaps.
There were only a 119 UK RHD cars built, so they are a premium to LHD but that premium is shrinking. It was around £50k but I think it is closer to £30/40k now. As usual, people are not keen on 360's in silver or light blue, and that transfers to CS's. Black, blue and both reds, scuderia or rosso are popular. Lexan windows are rare, and also invoke significant premium.
As a very very rough guide, I would say mileage reduces price by about £2000 per 1000 miles, although super low mileage would amount to more.
This is exactly the info I need. Thank you.Spec is fairly consistent across the range but use www.challenge-stradale.com to start with history check. Be meticulous as there are some that are imported (from Asia) and some that have been damaged and repaired.
