i am sure this was priced around 125k and now at 115k looks better
what are your thoughts on this CS http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3227965.htm
i think it will look nice parked between the SV and 964t and i think thats my collection done!

Looks lovely but price very strong and personally I'd prefer the alcantara interior to the leather.

the value is all linked with the low mileage so if you intend to use it this is not worth considering IMO

yes very true asking price is linked to the mileage,would do around 1000/1500 a year,and i on the other hand not a big fan of the red trim

In five to seven years the difference between buying a car now at £115k against £100k may not seem too much, whereas 12k to 15k mileage against 25k to 30k might.

Thinking forward, with inflation, rarity etc. clean CS's could reach £150k - whereas poor ones might not stay above £100k.

All a bit crystal ball, but the point is that what looks expensive now could look very different in a few years and vice versa.

Just buy one with slightly higher miles and buy it will. This is someone just chancing their arm if you ask me. Also, what is the point in having a car where the value is almost entirely linked to the low mileage. It's also a false economy as low mile cars usually need a load more work done to them once you do start to use them, or the next guy does. I got a 15k bill on my 288 because of this.
In my opinion there is just no point having a car you won't use. Buy a picture of one instead and invest the money in something else. In reality turning 125k into 150k (for instance) over 5-10y when you still have to pay finance, insurance, service and general up-keep etc etc isn't very exciting.
I seriously think the smart thing to do is pay 95k for 10k miles car and enjoy it.

Buy a leggy one for 69k and rag it to pieces. It'll look just as good an probably drive better too.

Never really understood the stripe down the middle of the CS - correct me if I'm wrong (which is most of the time), but wasn't that a cost option?

I prefer CSs without the stripe.

[DMT84]

Yes it was a cost option. Could just be rumours or maybe Jeremy Clarkson, but I recall a figure of 3k being thrown around.

+1 to that, but unfortunately few sellers will let them go at those levels

I have tracked down several cars with +30kmiles but none will go under 70kGBP

Have you spoken to simon ?

Three coloured racing stripe at £3,642.50 going by 2004 Ferrari price list.
There is a 575 HGTC in the country with the same stripe from the Factory which at the time cost £7,200!!!!

Price is strong but as said, linked to the mileage, if you plan on putting miles on then it would soon drop in value as the miles rack up, so maybe better to go for a higher mileage car if that is the plan, however if your not thinking of doing many miles then she's perfect!

[Rocco1]

dont think i would do more than 1000 miles a year,as i have the Lamborghini SV which i will max 1000 miles and then the 964t wich has to go out prob 1000miles.
been watching prices of the CS and the Scud for a while,would like to own one soon.

[tony h]

i bought mine nearly 6 yrs ago with 8k on the clock for £100k when everyone was a bit scared about residuals ... they've held in very well so far....

The CS is definitely a modern day classic. Values have risen over the past 2 years and I believe will only get better as time goes on.... good cars harder to find, others being crashed and written off, etc. It will all come down to supply and demand.
