Have Ferrari approached owners yet? I assume not as the car hasn't even been launched or formally announced

Was just interested to hear that a certain independent dealer is quoting cars available for a 1m premium? Hence I wondered whether that was rubbish or if some prospective owners have been contacted by Maranello. Clearly if they have I'd say they have asked the wrong people (in some cases).

Thought a lot about SWBs but probably missed the boat. Had a chance at a car earlier in the summer but even since then prices (asking) seemed to have moved on another notch. Crazy. It's never easy to find a genuine seller, of course most would sell at a 'you're kidding me' price. I don't want to be the guy on the other end of that deal though. To be honest they are at a point whereby I don't believe I'd get 3m or 4m pounds worth of enjoyment out of them. It is probably not worth thst to me now, at 3m I could just about get it but beyond that I am out. Clearly you need to be very very deep pocketed indeed to splash that on a car and not think twice. Also can these prices keep going up at this silly rate? Anyones guess. When they have appreciated so much so quickly it makes you worry there is a bubble and that takes half the argument away for getting involved at this level. For me at least it needs to make sense financially too. I couldn't confidently assume that I'd buy an SWB now and see more decent upside. Not once prices plateau and you have to pay a dealer 10% to get out of it. Of course we can argue this one till we are flying cars but....

So the strategy is now make some money and try and buy one when they are even more expensive! No kidding, will focus on the rarer modern stuff that is collectable, such as the Enzo replacement. I'm not a seller but at these prices they need to be half justifiable financial moves too.

Topjay where did that come from?

I've asked two dealers lately and neither of them have cars allocated so I find that hard to believe. Both are big dealers too.
