Well after Amari bought that car for 90 with 25k miles, they are now marketing it for 150. The Ferrari Centre are now also asking 150 for the car with same miles.

The Lovett car sold for just a smidge under 150k and that had 6k miles. Seems these current two for sale are being a bit optimist! Are people getting greedy......

Shame as I really wanted one, but I just don't believe it is worth 150k of my money. 100k yes.

In the cars' details, Amari say there are only 50 UK Rhd 512TRs. There are 80 UK Rhd 512TRs in fact....plus a ton more non-UK RHD supplied all over the world.

So annoying. I'd have bought that car. Now it'll probably sit there for 6m. Speculators eh!?

Not a bad shout - I still think I'll be able to dig one for sensible money

The Ferrari centre have just put up a car with 26k for 150k pounds. Disappointing as its SOR and just not realistic. After all Amari paid 90k for a car with the same mileage only 2 weeks ago. Speculators.

Plenty of character, but I don't thing it's worth 150.

Me neither. A shame as I would pay 100k for one. If the market cools then it's going to be these sorts of cars that tank. Honestly I'll be amazed if someone pays 150k for a 25k miles car.

Never mind I'll just wait. Might buy a CGT instead. They are still not expensive for what they are.

The CGT is a relative bargain, but a PITA to drive on most UK roads, and in traffic.

I've paid a deposit on the Amari car. I just can't risk them getting anymore expensive!

For me it was more that I wanted rosso and crema. The black leather car looks nice at VVS and it was hard to choose, but Amari is super easy to deal with. There is one coming to the market soon with only 3k on it for 175k......I blame Chris Harris!

Chris' car has higher mileage...but he paid less for it....I am still upset about my deal going sour on a high miles car a year ago...never mix business with pleasure..

I blame people losing their bottle and their minds, rushing in and panicking about the market.

Lovely cars, but 150k? For a car that was probably exchanging for, what, 70k a couple of years ago?

You don't know what I actually paid, although I respect you're saying that about the market in general - which is absolutely true. It's utter madness.

Tom Hartley Jnr told me he wanted 250k for his 512 M, with people like him out there then its boom to bust time. As he's asking these silly prices, I mean that's ridiculous....it must also mean that he has a rolodex of panic buyer and speculators willing to buy his cars and sales patter.....I mean two 355s both F1 for 95k?

When the market does collapse I'm going to enjoy buying up a few more cars. I do believe that these are rare and special cars which have investment value, but they are being pushed to breaking point at the moment and there is a lot of greed out there. That won't last but the cars will, as will the appetite of those that really love cars for cars sake.

Well done pistolp.

I identify with your sentiment because I just bought a LHD 512M and certainly felt BIG pressure to buy one before they get priced out of my reach...
