Just wondering where these are sitting at the moment. We have just been considering a RHD '98 plate. Stunning cars.

Look to have dropped slightly from the levels of last year. Could be seasonal related, or could be the peak has happened.

Either way, if you want it and you can justify the price to yourself, buy it. They are fantastic, and mine is going nowhere - well maybe, we'll see how much I still love it after the bill for a major plus cambelts next month...

Absolutely awesome cars - much faster and more refined than what came before and infinitely better built.

Pricing has taken a dip over the last 12 months after surging in 2014/15. Pricing is all over the place at the moment so it could be time to pick one up at a reasonable price (they will never be £35k again). RHD UK delivered cars will always hold their value over LHD cars - but the latter presents a bargain if you actually want to use it.

I believe we'll start to see more consistent pricing later on this year once the current glut of stock clears up. Pricing will then rise gently as the car pushes more into classic territory, but the meteoric rise from 2013-2015 will likely not repeat itself.

I appreciate these have softened slightly. Have been offered a RHD in silver, 54k miles, full Ferrari main dealer history inc cam belts in 12/16 for 95k. Just wondering whether to hit the trigger or not...

Similar car? RHD at sub £100k? I think the only one is the high miler at Justin Banks.

£80k will be a left-hooker. £95k for a RHD with that mileage is about as cheap as they've been for the last two years.

Cheapest RHD cars on here are £95k and £99k and they both have over 90k miles on them

Everything sub £100k is LHD even if the advert headlines don't state it.

The silver RHD at £105k is the best comps, with imo a lesser interior combo and 7 owners.

Good to read of 'real world'' transaction values.

Back in the real world, I see the WSR sold well at Silverstone over the weekend. £178,000.

That price doesn't include the Vat on the buyer's premium so total was nearly £182,000.

The 246 sold for nearly £450,000!! A GT not a GTS.

Chairs and flares though. Rarer. But I don't personally like them...

Just the £150,000 over lower estimate then....!

I've been looking at the results, and I'd say SA had a monster weekend. No sign of any market cooling. Even the 348 made £93,375.

been looking at these recently, there's a HUGE difference in RHD prices to LHD, like 50% different, what's that about?
