Ferrari Mailing List: Re: The Ferrari Market

I bought a 328GTB from the UK 2 years ago. The same car now would cost around 10kGBP more. Why is that?? Isn’t there meant to be a GFC?

Believe me Larry, Britt is still thinking about trying to buy your car! Its the exchange rate and the import taxes that make it tough right now. Also thinking of buying a lowly TR and spending an obscene amount of money turning it into a targa roof instead!

 

And BTW over here the "newer" cars are 355 and newer. Testarossa's are going UP. 328s are slightly higher than 3 years ago as well. 550's though are now a 40-45k car.....

 

It doesn't help that the "road tax" we have to pay on Ferrari cars built from 2002 is not the equilivant of 600.00+ dollars a year. That's pretty expensive for a car you can only drive part of the year due to the weather, ect...

So I still have to hold onto my 512TR for another 15 years -- or until Britt finally buys it?
