Have the 5 spoke diamond cut ones on mine and they really set the car off imo…don’t know how much extra they were as an option tho.
Not sure if they were an additional cost option, only available on spider though I think,,

The 600LT Spider rewrites the rules from the ground up. Its 10-spoke forged aluminium wheels are the lightest ever fitted to a Sports Series. Strictly bespoke and incredibly strong, they significantly cut unsprung weight – good news for handling and ride. Combined with the specially developed Pirelli P ZERO™ Trofeo R tyres, these stunning wheels save 17kg. For true fanatics, there’s also the option of titanium wheel bolts to shave off a further 0.42kg… You can also choose a seriously light and equally striking 5-Spoke design as an option.

According to my price list:
5 spoke ultralightweight wheels £4,200.00
Diamond cut wheel finish £1,600.00

Not really surprised - the best supercar for the money you can buy.

Typical dealer tactics to play ping pong with the prices. If you haven't sold a car for months then it's surely because it was priced too cheap

Seasonal increases nothing unusual about that. If you haven't been a keen enough buyer to pick one up over winter you have more competition in the Spring and summer.

As funding costs keep going up and underwriting keeps getting stricter, I'm not sure where the dealers think the magic money pots will come from to justify their "seasonal increases". The era of free money is over and price elasticity is back. of course there's always going to be rare occasions where the car with the perfect spec comes onto the market and gets snapped up immediately and the dealer can name any price, but if your car has been on the market for over 6 months without selling then that's clearly not the case

And the blue LT parks just knocked up by a few grand has been on for several months too. 'I know, it needs to cost more as we sold 1 or 2'.

That car sold in Feb and was returned apparently, when I called to get a video it was “having some work done” so I assume they have had to spend a bit fixing it and now want to recover some of those costs.

Quite a few of the franchise dealers seem to do it tbh, it seems crazy to increase the price if it hasn’t sold but I suppose when there’s lesser cars coming on for more it could create an opportunity to increase the price for them,,

Just noticed the green car come on at Hills , this sold last year with 13K miles on it, they’re still using last years pictures by the look, never did like the look of the front discs even then laugh

I get that dealers change the price but you're saying they are advertising cars which they dont have for sale and making the effort to change the price of it and it now belongs to the buyer. If that was my car id be annoyed. get it off your website.

No it must be back up for sale with them

So what is 'incorrect' then? I am totally lost.

Presumably many buyers don't track the market like people on here, a surprise at this level but I do know a couple of people who just think "I fancy a ..." and go out to find one.

More buyers now the summer is here, so put a car up £5k in price and if someone comes along and offers you £10k off the screen price you can haggle rather than tell them to go away. [edit] It must work for them, otherwise so many wouldn't do it.
