The £100K 458...

It’s madness to think a Ferrari main dealer will look at WBAC.... the dealers and the factory know the market prices better than anybody. For example last December WBAC showed a trade value of £107k for my 458, whilst the dealer happily offered me £130k. Ok, the markets moved a little but the spread of trade to retail price is still £15-£20k on a rosso well specced car.

This is pretty much it..WBAC are after all a bunch of crooks who prey on the innocent and desperate car sellers.Its a well known fact that last year Ferrari main dealers were phoning 458 owners up offering generous PX in return for buying an used 488 they had in stock..

Nonsense. All of it.

Yep, you won't find a Ferrari main dealer using WBAC pricing - except in the circumstance of maybe justifying their "higher" PX value to a client.

A cars valuation will be made looking at other similar spec cars in the market place and then appending their appropriate margin. Typically on a 458 that spread might be as little as £15k to £20k at an independent or as much as £30k upwards at a main dealer. I'd expect at least a 30k spread on a 150k main dealer car and upwards of this as the value increases. If for example you're PX'ing a Ferrari at a Porsche dealer, they'll go out to the specialist dealer market to get the car underwritten.

As said, SOR is popular because by and large owners are unhappy with the valuation that a dealers given to purchase a car. Outside of PX, with the market as it is at the moment, i'd be very surprised if any dealer at all will offer to buy car's for cash.

It's only really a issue when you want to "get out" of supercar ownership i.e you wish to offload without buying the next upgrade or latest offering

I never said Ferrari would use them so don’t take it as gospel! But someone earlier said a trade bid on a £130-140k 458 is around 100k

I looked on wbac punched in a reg of autotrader just to see and yep came back at 100k

So if trade prices are 100k and wbac also offer 100k what’s the difference!!

I also did the same with mclaren 570s considering again someone said the trade bid would be around 60k and wbac said 73k on a 85k orange car

You can say nonsense etc etc etc but wbac isn’t too far off the trade prices been spoke of

Probably won't be that far out as all car's depreciate and WBAC just use the standard algorithms. I'd suggest that the WBAC pricing is probably closer than many people might think if you're looking to sell a given car to a dealer for cash - no purchase or PX

What it obviously cannot account for is particular specification and more importantly, how much margin the dealer has in the car you are purchasing. This will always affect the PX price on your car.

7 years on from the start of this thread....could we be eventually about to see a sub £100k Ferrari 458

No story, RHD 458 and low miles

https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2010-ferrari-4...

I have a sneaky feeling even with these tough times and that its a 10-year-old car, this will still breach that value...

[jsw777]

That car had been listed at a local dealer for 6 months or more at £119k.
I’ve been looking for a 458 for awhile and viewed the car back in February.
Nice car, front passenger side alloy had a mark on it and it was 3 or 4 months overdue it’s annual service although it had only done 500 or so miles since it’s previous service.
I’m still looking so will be interesting to see what it makes.

[FezSpider]

There is one in auto trader for 87k.
I don't know much about it, dont know its story apart from its had an engine rebuild.
It is well below the 100k as per thread title.

How come you didn't buy it, if you don't mind me asking? Those two faults don't sound like a huge deal?

I imagine that the number plate will give a certain impression to most as to how it’s been treated and looked after

[Durzel]

That yellow car has been on here before, it looks shabby, modified, and has had an engine rebuild. It's probably an interesting value proposition for someone, but not anyone who actually wants a car they can easily sell themselves down the line. Dealers won't touch it.

[cayman-black]

Here we go this should be interesting.

Couldn’t agree on a price for my R8 was the main reason. Plus I decided I wanted a red one as it will be my first Ferrari.

wouldnt be surprised if it gets very near to £115k

this will be a true test of the market imo

Surely it could have been bought for that figure a few months ago? If it does achieve £115k CV19 has had no effect on the price imo.

No description. No details.

So how do you know there is no story?

It was a retail car, perhaps the dealer looking to cash out ???

I too would be surprised if it got near to £115k. It was for sale at £119k for over 6 months and didn’t sell at a dealer.
There has also been a similar 2011 car listed for sale for most of the year that has bounced between £113-£115k and not sold and still advertised.

It was indeed. It was the owner of the garages personal car.

Can’t argue with that. The allure of red is real.
