Not long until the £70k 612

[Chipchap]

Looking at some adverts, it seems the 612 will turn out to be very unloved ? The first under £100k retailer here http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/297958.htm

Another 12 months and they will be where 575's are now and in2 yrs may even be c£60k !

Someone was due on last years TartanHoon trip with a recently acquired £130k 612, sadly he had to bail out when his F1 gearbox went berserk the weekend before the trip.

Did they sell many manual ones in the UK?

Daz I dont think they made a manual ? Someone on here will know for sure though. This car may even be the successor to the 400i & 456 and reach new lows in front engined Ferrari pricing ?

As I flick through the car pages of magazines, the 612 has to be te ugliest of the Ferraris that I've seen for long time, so I can imagine that anyone in the market for a Ferrari might well overlook it in favour of other models. No wonder this depreciation thread...

Whats your opinion on these, do you see them at £70k retail in 12-18 months ?

Very good cars and in the right colours and spec (high as possible) very sought after in the trade and retail market. Cant see even the earliest cars being offered at £70k in that time. Maybe £85k for a early/low spec/high miles example. Something quirky looking with a Ferrari badge still sells

[Chipchap]

I was only trying to predict [static economy] where these would go to. The one I linked to is coming up 4 yrs old and at 6 yrs old I see it at £65k or perhaps a tad less. A 2002 456 is around £55k from a respected dealer retail. And I see the 612 in the same light.

Conversely the 550 & 575 are still holding up well at c£45-50k for 7yr old ones [550] and £75k or so for 3 to 4 yr old 575's. These two seem to be bucking the trend of front engined Ferrari's particularly the manual 550 & 550 Barchetta.

Is it only me who seems to quite like them? I think thta there is something cool about 4 seater Ferraris.

If I had the money, id go for a 612 over a 430/599

There was a new one in Lancaster Colchester at the weekend with a SOLD sticker in it.

Someone must REALLY want a new one!!

[MogulBoy]

Someone posted on here that it's not unheard of to bag a discount on new one as the dealers are oblidged to sell one or two to keep the factory happy and the factory underwrites it somehow.

I like them in the right colour (dark) but anyone who buys new must have a reasonably sound understaning of the concept of 'disposable income'!

There are always targets to be met, so the dealer may have been accomodating with their margin in order to keep the factory/importer sweet and get better allocation on the more popular models ?

As a consumer, everything is okay as long as the price is right. So you get a 612 for a "deal" then you take it on an operating lease [closed ended usership] as a vat qualifier, suddenly it all looks a little less painful. You did'nt throw away £25k on vat to Messers Darling & Brown etc etc

Personally, I really like them! I wouldn't think they'll be <£70k anytime soon.....got to be another 3 years, depending on the economy.

I think we'll see inflation make them seem more attainable, but thats another story...

have been told by dealers that they will sell new ones at cost just to get rid of their allocation...about 155k
