Notes? Your comedy notes… down, what are you talking about, have you seen Main Dealer prices, I’m not talking about that horrendous Interior one at Simon Furlonger, that’s no outlier of the market. Real world experience, Romans sold their F12 at 177 to a guy who had already put down on a 812, saw both cars bought the F12 within a week. Non Red cars seem to fly off the shelves, unlucky for me because I can’t do Red Ferrari anything. Those notes of yours are only good for the fireplace now. I don’t know how this horrendous 12 Cilindri will affect prices but my gut says F12 & 812 will stay strong for obvious reasons. My preference is F12, but can see 812 strong as well with the non GPF Coupe.
Whats wrong with tracking price etc? Its a chunk of cash to lay out, so nothing wrong in seeing how much the real cost is.

I can't put my notes in the fire, as laptops don't burn great!

Look who is back.. to try and single-handedly bring down F12 prices again! Call yourself Frankly Chop Suey, because that is what you speak about. A guy who is worried about depreciation all the time rather than buy and drive, then goes and buys a money pit Mclaren 650S!! You cant make it up, too funny. Head back into your aunts loft for a tommy tank this bank holiday..
Why are you trying to be so offensive, you come across as very insecure you should speak to someone about it.

Yes I have bought a 650s, i'm not sure why you think its a money pit, or what thats got to do with anything?

That st Albans car sold over a year ago and they kept the advert up for months, and even though I’m not a fan of 812 looks, they are not coming down to high 1’s due to the release of 12 cilindri. 6 months ago when I was um and argh on a F12 a 812 was offered to me at 199,995 with 38000 miles on it, they sold it 15 mins after going live and the phone never stopped until advert went off Ferrari System. Admitted they priced it wrong and let the deal go through with first caller. Anyway it’s a forum and all about opinions.
thats a more balanced response.

?? Who are you, the forum police? Balanced because I didn’t agree with you? My reponse to your taking notes on F12 was valid, it’s comical to me, because I’m out here trying to buy an F12 in the colour I want for over 12 months and the market is one thing and your notes are another thing.
When you make stupid comments directed at me, I’m allowed to reply.

I’m not looking to buy an f12 at the minute. I ended up test driving 488’s, however wanted a convertible, then ended up with a mclaren 650s spider after driving f12’s/488’s. I’ll revisit f12’s in the future.

McLaren owners aren’t nearly as angry and some of the posters in this thread.

can we please direct any depreciation threads to the Porsche forums please smile
as all sensible threads that are posted there descend into how badly the car is priced and will be worth pennies in a couple of months time.
lol
So true. It’s just the 1-2 year overall cost that most look at.
