Maranello have a RHD one for £120k. I suspect if you haggled you could buy it for £110-112k. They would be unlikely to have notched any deals in the past three weeks I suspect based on my conversation with the Ferrari dealer I normally use.https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

Gallardo prices have dropped around 33% over the last 18-24 months, whereas they were fairly stable over the prior 3/4 year period.
Have they though? They seem to be the same as what they were it’s just a few ppl have been chancing their arms with high pricesThere’s still a manual balboni for 230k the black one I’ve got my eye on for over a year seems to have fluctuated between 84 and 94k and has settled at 89k since summer, think it’s abit optimistic though pre lp manual 2007 with 16k on it,

If you have the cash, and someone needs to sell, there may be a deal to be done.
Some auctions still seem to be struggling on in different places.
It’s probably going to be rather injudicous to drive a supercar around for the foreseeable future, even assuming you’re allowed to recreationally. And there would be no one around to see it, which is a big reason new money buys them in the first place.
Interesting times ahead for sure. It’s far too soon in my opinion to read anything into price predictions simply because we’re not out of the woods yet, and the people making predictions aren’t likely to be unbiased.

Here’s a data point....ex Chris Harris F12 sold for £142k plus comm on Collecting Cars

I don’t know enough about the specs of these but that seems like a great result for the seller to me ? I wouldn’t have thought trade bids for that would have been much higher than that a month ago,

I think it may even be a little longer than that.
Likely people are currently stuck in limbo, with people not even looking/able to sell, due to people not even looking/able to buy.
So I'd expect the market to more or less be totally static.
Its only once the lock down starts to lift and once people are hit with the reality of if they still have their job to go back to, that the market will face its pressures.
I agree with some who have said that there is nothing in the immediate future that would likely give a pressure for prices to increase, it surely can only be downhill over the next few years. People and businesses are going to be totally focussed on recovery rather than luxury.

Exactly the position I'm in. Was intending to put my 360 up for sale as soon as it was serviced a couple of weeks ago. But now, there isn't any point - nobody is likely to make a serious offer - and I really don't need the hassle of t
ts trying to convince me it's now worth 50p.I think it's unlikely I'll put it up for sale in the next 12 months at least.

I agree and I think the majority will start come autumn onwards, Likely people are currently stuck in limbo, with people not even looking/able to sell, due to people not even looking/able to buy.

Looking purely at the Time Lag issue , a few points appear to be coming through ;
1) The supercar market appears to be slower in reacting cf shares ( to be expected as that is a minute-by-minute correction ) , but also possibly the prime London property market
2) Cheaper cars appear to be correcting first .
3) Modern cars appear to be correcting more quickly cf classic cars

The prices being paid for cars on-line auction site (s) ( Collecting Cars ) appear to be reacting fairly quickly to the market conditions .
So why do you think that dealers who are sitting at home with time to spare , are not quickly adjusting the prices of their stock , so that they can steal a march on their fellow dealers ?
Surely if they can off-load their own stock before they market gets saturated , it can only be to their benefit .
Or do you think that a large proportion of their stock is on SOR , so it is no skin off their backs to hang in there at their pre-Covid prices ?
Also , I wonder if this virus epidemic might alert some punters to their own mortality , and push them towards achieving their dreams while there is still time !!
This would increase demand , and so help maintain a floor for supercar prices .

Probably some truth in this......This would increase demand , and so help maintain a floor for supercar prices .
Obviously this is not completely representative but I had a pub quiz on zoom last night with around 12 friends, only one of them is not working and he was actually made redundant before COVID all kicked off. They are all good earners as well so perhaps this impact everyone is talking about isn’t going to be quite as wide and deep as everyone is led to believe by the media. I also had a call with my financial advisor who is still very much expecting (some would say hoping but I believe he is better than that) a V shaped recovery. It’s just tax planning he is worried about as we go about repaying all of this free money.
This isn’t to say supercars wont take a hit, they will do for a short while as people put their finances back in order and feel secure again but the hit to jobs, and this sounds terrible, is going to be at the lower end of the pay scales.
