I think it was at £155k so dropped £10k this week, none of the advertised cars appear to be finding buyers atm..?

I thought GRB had gone quiet.

Could be time of year, would expect there arent too many buyers with the prospect of a few months of rain and bad weather looming...

I terms of keenly priced I found this at the local dealer.



2009, 19,000km, CF steering wheel and CF/alcantara interior (options?)
Yours for £92,500 and I get the impression that he can move on that price too.

I think nows the time to get hold of a LHD Scud. Cant see them going any lower than what they are. Plenty of car for the money

I am so sorely tempted! Dealers here in France seem to have trouble shifting these cars whatever the price, this one just said that the market was stagnant. Quite happy to get it out even though I had only gone to look at a 360.

A quick look around here shows that £55k will get you a good low miles 05/06 F430. As you say, I can't really see them going any lower?

Can you not get RHD's for not far off that now?

7 RHD cars currently for sale with average asking price working out to £186k. Interesting to see same car from advert less than 6 months ago has done extra 3,000 miles and asking price has gone up £40k. Price range spread of high of £220k to low of £145k seems ridiculous

Yes but how many of them have actually sold?

Sorry, what I meant to say was how many have actually sold at that price range? Aren't they just too over-inflated? I think the 458 is its worst enemy. Not as rare, but a more complete car...

One of them has sold.

I meant can you not get F430's RHD at this price...

Not a lot is selling at this end of the market at this time of year whether its McLaren, Ferrari or Lamborghini. Same old cars have been on there for months now
If its good stock ( and scuds fall into that category ) most dealers will happily sit on it until the upturn in market which is realistically spring 2015 now.
A few PLC's may have strict stocking policies and the accountants may want to make the books look good for year end by reducing stock but they would rather dispose of the plentiful depreciating and regular productions cars over rare appreciating limited editions

Crazy!
Currently in France I can find 12 LHD Scuds, average asking price £95,750. Very little spread in prices, virtually all are within 10%.
