Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Value of Ferrari Luggage for 512TR

[LarryT (l02turner]

   To me, as a non-Ferrari owner, the way I see buying the Ferrari custom 
fitted luggage is one of a couple of reasons, depending on the buyer.  A, 
you're super rich and will use the luggage regardless of the damage they may 
suffer so the expensive luggage can be used and "seen", or B you've bought 
the luggage in the hopes of selling them with the car in the hopes of 
elevating the value of the car.  This kind of thing happens in the case of 
ultra rare cars such as a limited production model - like a Lusso, 
SuperAmerica, 275, etc.  When a car such as those are offered with the 
custom luggage, along with the original sales paperwork - which is even more 
valuable if owned by a "Celebrity" (to me that would be Stirling Moss or 
Scarfiotti, Von Trips, etc - OTOH, someone like P Hilton would detract from 
the value) ;-),   the value is increased farther.   But the later models 
like we're talking about here, with the exception of an F40, the cars 
*might* not be rare enough to see elevated prices due to the luggage.  Then 
again, it can't hurt.

Naturally, IMHO, YMMV.  ;-)

Have a nice week -
