As an example of inflation on high end cars. The Rosso Fiorano F12 TDF was taken in by a mate of mine who had given a loan to the owner secured against the car, loan defaulted he now owned the car last year. Car was sold to Romans for £525k, who in turn sold it for circa £600k, now Amari have it listed at £725k !

You can list a car for whatever you like.
They seem to have a lot of cars that hang around for a long time.

Some supercars are rising and some are still going down. Well specced 812SFs bottomed out a couple of months ago but are now firmly on the rise. Others fare worse and still dropping unless the depreciation on them were overdone last year.

Isn’t it normal for prices to rise during the summer?

Wonder if people now working from home more would make supercar ownership more tempting? Far more opportunities to use it.

Add those 2 together then makes sense to see a rise.

I don’t see it lasting though.

Yes but as prices increase, availability is also heading in the opposite direction keeping prices on the rise.

This is not a normal Summer for car prices IMHO.

Been waiting 3 months for a call from McLaren for a used 570 Spider, was advised there is a shortage of stock, prices then were around £100k depending on spec. Finally received a call about a car coming in to stock offering me first refusal wait for it £125k !

Prices are fluid with the market but Mclarens seem to be also price correcting after being hit too hard initially.
A £200k car built in relatively small numbers becomes far more appealing to the general masses at ,£100k so supply and demand dynamics have changed on the car as well as the general market strengthening IMHO.
Those that bought at the bottom of the curve last year have had a year of cost free motoring and will continue to do ok as I reckon this is the new norm for quite a while as new car production is still hampered

Mac GTs have got from bottom at £116 to about £135k, since Easter. The 720S from just below £130 to now starting at £142k.
Aston DBSS we’re available for under £150k before Easter, even down around £140k, but now the cheapest is £175-180k !
812s have risen about 10-15k I think.
The donkey dealer supply of sub 100k 599s has dried up, though interestingly the indie 599s at 90k don’t appear to be shifting too quickly.
The F12 market has the dealer bottom at £150k and that isn’t really shifting much. Is the top end moving up? Possibly. It’s a bit mixed up there with some 2014 cars in with 2016 cars.
991.2 Turbo S were available at Pork dealers for just over £100k back in March, but struggle to find anything below £120k now.

I went for a 650 over the 570 as I though that (for me) it was the slightly better car and was only a little bit more expensive.

If the prices are now the other way round, with the 570 costing more I don’t think that I’d even have considered it the Sports Series.

the tdf was stupidly overpriced originally on the 2nd hand market.

all ferraris will rise now that the hybrid/electricity thing has really set in

Lots of mainstream and vanilla cars at lower price levels are showing 25%+ price rises since last year.

The price increases are at all evels and affe t most cars.

Could well signal the end of cheap used cars in the UK and many expdrts predict further significant rises and possibly up until 2023.

July CAP trade figures are predicted to be at least 10% upon June adding fuel to the fire which in turn were 10 % up on May alone.

Tried buying a RS4 in the trade last week car booked at £33k it sold for £47k!.

Interestingly I was reading a chat between a well respected supercar indie tech and customers and the opinion was that synthetic fuels are where things are heading long term and fully electric won't take over.

Lets keep fingers crossed but I wonder if they will be able to convert current petrol fired cars to a synthetic fuel?

Would agree with this thats why Porsche who are rarely wrong are sinking billions in alternative fuel tech with their Chilean developments.

Also returning to the market, I'm still seeing prices for sub £100k cars increasing but those above not so much. Not a precise science so some exceptions but what I watch generally speaking.....

Increasing value:

- Audi R8 Gen 1 coupe
- Audi R8 Gen 2 coupe
- McLaren 540C
- McLaren 570S coupe & spyder

Decreasing
- Ferrari 458 coupe

Holding steady
- Ferrari 488 coupe
- Lamborghini Huracan coupe
- Lamborghini Huracan Perf coupe
- McLaren 720S coupe
