Why are LHD Ferrari 512TR so much cheaper?

[PaulDav]

I have been looking for a RHD 512TR (Rosso with Crema). Not many seem
To ever come up for sale and when they are they are substantially more expensive than the equivalent LHD car from a German dealer. Was the spec different? Or was it just that there are substantially more LHD 512 TR's out there so it becomes a supply and demand problem?

Also what's the view Testarossa v's 512TR? I originally set off looking for a Testarossa as a weekend / investment car and have been persuaded to hold off for a 512TR. Is love to hear people's thoughts.

Also anybody know of any low mileage versions around in either car that might be on the market soon?

Thanks!

I totally appreciate your sentiment. So
Often we have seen these kind of bubbles before.

I'm not looking at this as a short term Investment but rather a 10 year plus opportunity to buy an asset that's going to appreciate in value over time but that you can enjoy at the weekends. I'm extremely bullish the world economies over the next 10 years but there will come a lot of inflation with that. So I want to put my money in something that hopefully increases in value quicker than
Inflation but that I can enjoy in the meantime (unlike stocks and shares).

And if it all goes wrong and prices collapse, at least is be left with an amazing car rather than a few worthless share certificates.

Would getting a LHD version just be a bad move? You are getting the same vehicle, the same looks and the same performance but at half the price?

[quote=ro55a]Don't buy a testarossa, they are slow, mega mega expensive to maintain....they all blow up and rust, depreciate at such a rate it's untrue, they look silly, do not make enough noise, poor decision really, LHD or RHD they're all crap.

Here's a pic of mine.

So if you dont like the car why do you still have one?
