Wow there are some nice crashed cars on that web site. ( Maserati 2.8 bi turbo Spyder looks great.)

[woppum]

Someone start up a £101k offer for a 458 just to st on his trumpet.

[neil-f]

I would think a trade bid on the high miler in PH classified would be around £100k
Trade I gather are offering around £120k ish for early cars

[jdw1234]

I know someone who did this for a Ferrari 360 for £30k and got bites.

I don't see the harm in it. Someone might need to shift one quickly.

Might take a little while mind!

But if you need to get out of one quickly surely the safest and quickest route is down your dealership and I'm sure they'll be offering more than £100k ...

Sorry sir we are over stocked on 458's at the moment!

or

yours is the wrong colour/spec sir

So will you bend over sir and prepare to be shafted....

Values are noticeably coming down now and I don't think it will be too much longer ( 12 months) before you can get a decent spec 2010 RHD low miles one for £130k.

No one in their right mind would take £100k now though

[sfp]

£100k?? Hmmm....ok, I'll take it........





.... Delivery in 2018 ok?

[retrospect]

Main dealers are not offering much over 100k trade up I can assure you!

Hilarious

Yes I saw that yesterday whist having my daily rummage through the classifieds ! Best of luck to him but I really can't see him getting anywhere.

That's part of the problem though that I have found in recent years with trying to sell cars privately. I think some people don't actually understand what margin a dealer would have on a car and therefore have unrealistic expectations on what is actually an achievable price.

For example with higher mileage 458s. There is no way they are worth £100K trade. Don't get me wrong I'm sure someone out there has been offered something offensively low and come on an internet forum and ranted about it, therefore causing a few people out there to think that ALL trade bids on high mileage 458s are at £100k.

For example about 2 months after buying my 430 spider I asked my dealer what he'd give me for it if I were to sell it back to him. I had done less than 1,000 miles since buying it and he offered something along the lines of £20K less than I just paid for it. Needless to say I kept the car (for another 18 months - 2 years, did another 8K miles) and sold it for more than I was offered then! Oh and I haven't hurried back to buy another car of him either... Now I know that was not what my car was worth, that was just the dealer trying to be as cheeky as possible. I guess my point is just because someone has thrown around very low trade bids doesn't mean that's what cars are selling for.

Having said that, best of luck to him with his £100K 458, and if anyone out there is selling one, I'd be happy to go to £102K

I had a similar situation with a Bentley I bought 3 years ago, but when after 18 months I took it back to the dealer who sold it to me, he gave me what I paid for it. That's the advantage of buying 70 year old cars!

[gumshoe]

Topic has taken an interesting turn here actually. Where would the bidding here in this thread stop? We've had 105k, I know someone would bid 110k (me), so where would it end?

I know no spec or mileage has been dicussed here, but imagine low spec and relatively high miles around 40k)

I think where the bidding ends would probably quite closely represent a real life market value for it.

[sone]

[quote=fesuvious]I'll happily say clearly I can't afford one;

If these are dropping as they seem to be @45k per year then it isn't unreasonable to suggest LHD examples will be flirting with that 100k figure by Christmas.


So there are three year old cars at 50k?.

These cars may have dropped 45k in the last three years and that's 15k a year, or did I miss something?.

[JM5]

You lot need to look harder here's one for 35k!

There are plenty of people that overstretch themselves to buy a car like a 458....if you're desperate to sell and dealer are reluctant buyers you never know! I'm sure £100k isn't his best bid.
