Incoming Scud!
Discussion
Hello
I will shortly be popping my Ferrari cherry - I have an 430 Scud on the way.
Have 3 weeks to worry if I have made the right decision or should have played safe and bought a 996 RS.....
Would welcome views from current or past owners as to just how good a car the Scud is. Media seem to hold it in high standing, both at the time and more recently.
Has anyone tracked theirs? Would it stand up to 2 days at the Ring ? My benchmark is my 997.2 RS which didn't miss a beat.
Thanks

There are a few guys who track their Scuds on ferrarichat - might find some useful info there. I will shortly be popping my Ferrari cherry - I have an 430 Scud on the way.

I have just committed to a Scud (collect Friday), I believe a LHD Scud is a real bargain right now, considering the price difference to RHD is £80 - £100k, and really it's an amazing machine, perhaps the best car you can buy for £110-130k retail!
Incredible cars, can't wait to finally own one rather than enjoying other people's :-)
What spec did you go for? Colours?

Seems there are a few of us who have taken the plunge on a LHD Scud recently. As you say - i really can't see anything on the market that can touch them in terms of value for money (my opinion only).Incredible cars, can't wait to finally own one rather than enjoying other people's :-)

I'm hoping to pick mine up in 3 weeks or so - Rosso Scuderia was the colour of choice from me, with all the usual extras... You??

Smart money I hope. We just need to talk them up now ;-)
Rosso corsa, grey stripe/wheels, black interior, led's, harnesses, hifi, oddly Rosso Scuderia calipers
I would love to go more off piste with the colour scheme, I.e the blue one at Mr 911 but I worry for resale ect, unfortunately that is a major consideration for me.

Took mine out today for the first time in a while and had forgotten how brilliant it is. For LHD money I really can't think of anything else worth having. Personally I don't subscribe to the must have red theory but each to their own. It is your car so have it the way you want it.
Agree with that - so put my money on a Giallo Modena version. Whatever colour though they are awesome.Hello
Thanks for all of the replies - been busy trying to sell a car or two to make room for the Scud!
It's LHD, 14k miles, rosso scuderia with charcoal stripes, gold wheels , all the goodies you want internally,
Interesting to see a few others with same approach and rationale for buying. When I see the price of used californias, I think the car is the Ferrari bargain of the moment.......
Saw yellow Speciale last week and fell in love pretty instantly - that could be next in a year or so
