Martin

Such is the price difference, £200k for the Scuderia :O against £100k for a Stradale that I think prices will stay very firm for a long time to come. I'm sure there are some cars about, I heard Graypaul Notitngham had 2 only a couple of Weeks ago, probably worth posting your needs over on Club Scuderia

Hi there,

I was over at Graypaul's last week, they had two red 360 Stradales for sale, both had the optional stripe.

One was in the showroom and the other was parked outside on the forecourt next to a gorgeous Grey Maserati Gran Turismo.

Regards

Tim

Everytime I get the train from my town to the next one, there is a 360 CS and a 355 in the drive of a house by the track. You have to properly look out to spot it though. And everytime I've been past the CS is ALWAYS in exactly the same position. I've never been past it with it not there. Such a waste, IMO.

Not many of these were made were they? Possibily my favourite Ferrari of recent times.

Martin, why did you sell the RS so soon?

I've got a 430S on order but don't expect it to affect 360CS much, which have probably done most of their depreciating if you buy sensibly.

AL i just never really felt my 997 rs warranted the price tag£106500.
it was no more special than my 996 gt3 but cost more than twice as much martin
considering i like to feel that i got a bargain how much do you think would be a good buy on a stradale at this time of year?? would ideally want a low mile late one without the red bits on the interior!!

Martin, feel the same way about 997 price having bought/sold 996 Mk1 and Mk2 around £50k. Part of me thinks I'd prefer the more basic 996RS over 997RS anyway, though I'd need a long drive of each on road/track to decide that one. Really a matter of personal taste I guess.

Anyway, think I'd be looking to pay £90-100k for 360CS. I was looking myself before details of 430S released and that was the price I had in mind then. I wasn't specifically looking for late or low mile one though, which may cost more. Take your time to find a good one that meets your criteria. I also was looking for one without the red bits in interior and they are rarer.

How long you think will keep it? If a while, like 2-3yrs+ there's a delivery mile one in the PH classifieds in great spec - black with no stripe and no red bits inside!..Offer £120k on it? If it meets your no1 spec at least, which it does for me.
