Is that a full red leather interior? Seats, dash, wheel, sills, roof and behind seats?

That's the problem. The true car enthusiast is being priced out of it. CS's are virtually only for the rich and famous now lol

ah, Im blushing now, rich, perhaps, but famous....well, I suppose so. you missed off handsome though

Maybe current prices are just folks chancing what they can get away with given so few for sale, had a mild hankering to see what my 18K miles, mint red with factory stripe might be worth against a £170K 16M (truth is I one of each). The answer was "about what I paid for it" (£95K). So, while I will never complain about 18 months of depreciation free motoring (while adding 2.5K miles) it doesn't look to me like dealers are above that value for the moment on trade-ins.

Dealer chancing there I think on stock he doesn't need to move (SOR possibly)

I've turned down offers considerably north of that for my 19k er... From both brokers and dealers.

Oh no I hope this isn't the start of a thread saying my £200k Strad is only worth £100k now. Always said there was potential for burnt fingers at these unjustifiable premiums.

Mind you nice profit margin for dealers trying it on both ends

The current Meridien CS seems to tick every box but doesn't seem to be moving at 170. Rarity means you can chance a high price and someone might buy...doesn't mean they'll typically sell for anywhere near that figure.

Nice, he makes 20K on the 16M and flips your Stradale for 50k, thats a good day at the garage, it won't be long until the Stradale is worth well more than even the most exclusive 430. Let me start the bidding at £100K for your Stradale

If you're serious about selling ? - I can out you in touch with a few people who will bid a lot more than that.

saw one with full red leather including dash and wheel and it was way too much red. but with a dark dash it would have been nicer, I prefer the tan leather if i could choose.

my old strad had the tan leather, very nice.

tan leather in a Ferrari just looks so classic, my goal is to find a Rosso Corsa cs with stripe, with tan leather seats, and tan bottom dash and with alcantara top and wheel. that would be my keeper car.

I see the one at Williams Motor co has come off and come back on the market at annother higher price, I'm loving his pricing strategy, it started in March at a fake £79K, then he refused my (buy it on trust unseen) offer of £90K because it was "still in the workshop underging enhancements", then I went and bought a different one, then he put it on the market at £89K, and as it hasn't sold over the year he has gradually increased the price every couple of weeks because nobody wants to buy it... clearly this dude knows much more about economics than I do, I should go back to school...

[SteelySteve]

note to Williams motor co, the white powdercoated alloys look awful

[SteelySteve]

The LHD at £105K (Dick Lovett) seems to have sold now

I'll give you £100k for it mate

As I always thought there is a huge disparity between buying and selling prices on CS ( not suggesting £70k ) and dealers are prepared to price them high and let them sit there for ages if necessary until the one person with more money than sense comes along and pays what he thinks is the going price.

I can't see a Ferrari dealer buying one in at £150k and taking the chance though. They must love having a CS - buy low and sell high, lubbly jubbly profit margin

[montpellier]

Well I was offered £170k for mine yesterday. So you can believe what you want.
