When will Aventador prices start dropping??

[TP321]

2012 coupes that were £250-260k new are still being advertised for £225-£240 (nearly 3 years on ,) and 2013 Spyders are still over £315k....Is the coupe ever going to fall below £200k? I dont rememenr the Murcielago holding its value so well. Actually i think it has better residuals than the 458 - astonishing.

Same thing happened when Murci then Gallardo came out. I saw Murcis new in 2002, started saving. They dropped negligibly for first couple of years, then remained firm when the Gallardo came out, was scarce and fetching above list. It took a further couple of years for Gallardos to begin depreciate, only then the Murcis start to soften. It would never do for a V12 to be less than a V10.

Same thing's happening again, no movement on Aventadors, premium on Hurucans. No softening even on early Aventadors, which I know a couple of people (in US) traded for 2014 models for the new suspension, etc. Same as ten years ago, pre 2004 Murcis etc...

So when will they soften?

I visited one main dealer about 3 weeks ago , and spoke to 2 different salesmen separately, about just this question
I then spoke to another main dealer on the phone,and the replies were all essentially the same

The cheapest ,no stories , reasonable mileage,well maintained aventador would in their opinions ,hit the £200k mark in about 24 months time

A face lifted aventador, and an sv version , are both in the wings , but there will be a substantial concomitant price increase , so maintaining a floor underneath the 2012 aventadors

For me, the space frame chassis and the Blizzarrini engine mean a huge amount, and the aventador is a departure from this (I am hoping to complete on a 2005 car shortly, and will do a full write up then)

But to my eyes the aventador interior is wonderful (? The exterior a tiny bit OTT?.......but I wouldn't say no) , and will in itself fuel demand

So you are saying that a 2012 coupe that cost £250k new will still be £200k when it is 4-5 years old?? That must make it the least depreciating car out there at the moment.....

The cheapest in the UK is advertised at £217,950... (with a reputable dealer)....... they have held their value exceptionally well.

Selling prices appear unchanged, but a lot of them have been unsold for over a year now.
