I've been seeing ads for the same cars, week in and week out, and very little actually seems to be selling. Asking prices are a bit all over the place and it seems like the majority of buyers aren't willing to buy at current levels and sellers don't want to drop to a price the market will bear. I'm talking, specifically, about F430s, but I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing is happening across other models (and other marques... I've also been watching Gallardo prices and the same thing seems to be happening there, too). In the past few months of looking, I'm only aware of 2 F430s that have actually sold from the ones listed on PH sales and AT... one was extremely high spec with full carbon pack and carbon brakes which sold for mid/high 70s and another standard spec car which sold for mid/high 60s. Lots of early cars being marketed at mid-80s and up which don't seem to be shifting. As a prospective​ buyer, these signs are cause for some concern.

Are these cars currently over-valued?

My old car https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/... has been for sale since July last year, now reduced by £5k too. Wonder if they mention to prospective buyers it had a completely rebuilt engine due to the pre cats ingesting themselves? https://m18eut.wordpress.com/f430-engine-rebuild/
Wow, scary. Was it under warranty? What was the mileage at the time?
