458 Speciale prices

[martin thomas]

I've recently sold my GT3 and am currently looking for one, but the spread in prices at the main dealers is insane!!,,,40k spread for what looks like the same car, but different colours.
I noticed the cars at HR Owen have been for sale for nearly a year, but are currently looking like the best value?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

They look good value but you definitely need the stripes and then from a resale perspective it has to be red!

Give Paddy at HR Owen a call, see what he can do.

All of MTs cars are keepers so resale won't be a deciding factor for him...

How well do you know him !!

[martin thomas]

Yes, as mentioned above, resale is never a consideration for me

I tried posting a wanted here yesterday, but the mods got a bit stroppy over it and deleted. lol

I guess values have softened a bit, certainly from when I paid nearly £300k for mine a year ago there are probably a lot on SOR and probably a lot of people reluctant to take a hit - part of the reason I think I'll keep mine!

I'm on the lookout also, there's not much choice and a very mixed bag of cars about being marketed.

The good ones never seem to hit the market.

What are there a few Speciale’s around the £200k mark, with relatively low mileage?

I presume they’ve had a knock?

Which ones?

Sure they’re not left hand drive?

And they’re left hand drive imports

Ah ok, thanks.

Why are left hand cars cheaper?

Surely the left hand market is bigger, and therefor more customers to buy them?

It usually depends on production numbers relative to market size (an example for the reverse is the M3 CSL)

Although exact numbers are hard to come by, the % of RHD is around 10% so much fewer of them.
