Scuderia.....testing the market

It'll be mental if it sells at anything close to the asking - which I doubt somehow.
I agree, but somehow I think there are now people out there who are collecting low mileage stuff and paying the premium for it. These cars will end up going to people who wont use them and will put them in a heated garage. GRBF430F1 said:

The car that was the subject of this thread is now listed at £225k, an increase of £30k, and trumps the car at £220k.
WARNING INCOMING JOKE ! Look away if you are easily offendedI've had my Scuderia for a couple of weeks now so this was bound to have a knock on effect to market prices although I do think a £30,000 increase is a bit rich lol ( Its taken 12 months for my Lambo and 8 years for my F355GTS to do half this amount )

WTF - such a waste!!! I cringe with the mileage sensitive nature of supercar ownership. Work your backside off to buy the thing then cant drive it because the market frowns upon it! I've just bought a Scud from Paris and happily do that sort of mile day one.. And then drive the wheels off it as I see fit!
Hilarious really that people can't enjoy these things, they actually are better for the miles and don't like to sit around...
Done 5640 miles in my 458 Spider since bought new in early May. 2600 of them across 8 countries in 10 days driven hard. Feel better?Hilarious really that people can't enjoy these things, they actually are better for the miles and don't like to sit around...
She needs a new set of boots already, lol!
I always do big miles in my cars and feel they are better for it...

Funny marketing - started at £195k, went to £225k when another was advertised at £220k, then went POA and finally ended up at £199,500. Must of took £195k for it which is probably the highest price yet and indicates they are still on the rise. The current market has gone mad so god help us when further Chinese restrictions are lifted next year
Confirmation of price rises
Asking price up £5k in latest advert http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/f...
Not so sure about the yellow on this one at £180k. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/f...
Never seen one physically but not so keen from the pictures and not so suited as a CS IMHO
Only 4 RHD now for sale and LHD prices spiralling ever closer at £140k

Am I right in saying the lift on Chinese car import only applies to used cars as they have always been able to buy new but restricted on importing the older / classic / cherished cars. And it's once this is lifted in 2015 that we could see another uptick in car movement through cash rich Chinese investors / collectors?

I think that sort of person would be wanting the newest most shiny thing, rather than a 10 year old track focussed car that most people will think is a standard 360.
They can buy those new no problem. What they want is bragging rights and rarity. If everyone with money just wanted the latest/newest/best there wouldn't be a classics market.RHD scuds wouldn't have been available to most of these "new money" people before now so to have one in their collection money is no object

I think there are 2 sorts of people here - the ones who want to be seen by everyone in the new best thing, so will order RHD to be ultra flash. To these people there is no point buying a status symbol if no one knows what it is. Plus they don't appreciate it themselves. This happens here - the Ferrari dealer here had a low mile Scud for sale earlier this year for GBP70k and a mint 16M for less than 90k. The dealer thinks mine is the only Strad here....RHD scuds wouldn't have been available to most of these "new money" people before now so to have one in their collection money is no object
And there are collectors, who buy these cars because they appreciate what they are and are out to impress no one. So will have no preference for RHD, actually probably prefer LHD as it was designed like that.
