Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ok so the insanity continues....

[Jeff Kennedy (jkennedy.design]

They are not necessarily Pricks, although there can be some that are without requiring the car.  Think of it more like a vetting process.  One is a member of the club, recognized as being capable of being such a member or has some connection that makes them worthy of being on an outer ring of the club.

 FWIW, I had a $50M offer on my friend’s GTO once, when known transactions were only in the $30M range.  He thought about it for a few hours, but eventually declined, as he put it: “that is a big pile of money, but I have a lot of money, and I can’t drive around a pile of it … oh, and I REALLY like that car”. Finally sold it 10 years later - for all that and a little more.

So, to make the point - THAT car at THAT time was unbuyable at any price.  

Way back when I was a snot nosed kid elbowing my way into the table where the big collectors sat - I quickly learned that most of those guys are unwilling to part with their cars - except maybe to each other (I have witnessed a whole lot of “I’ll trade you vinXXX for vinYYY” between them over the years).  

Several, if not most of the really big collectors have expressed their reluctance to sell anything of particular provenance to an unknown (and by unknown I mean someone that they do not know will properly love and care for the cars).  Not a question of money - as most of those guys are far beyond worrying about money - but preservation of the breed!  It was always one of those things that I found special in Ferrari world.

I used to believe that I would have a seat at that table one day.  At this point, I am afraid that short of Powerball coming through it will never happen.  But, I’ll be happy to love and preserve a 308GT4 or Mondial - or, finances allowing it, a 550/575 one day.

Peace,

Scottie

It’s been years since I last read/subscribed to FML.

 

I knew they referenced a select number of typical sources to base their asking price lists, but has it been updated to include sites like BaT and eBay?

 

ASKING and SELLING are two completely different things. A person can ask all they want, it only takes one (or more) willing to buy it at that price, if they think it’s worth it.

 

At least with BaT, you can call up a particular model and see the range in prices. I shake my head when I see certain cars that fetch phenomenal amounts and others that I feel should get a lot, don’t.

I went to the Italian Car show in Atlanta this Saturday 

And there were free copies of the Yellow Sh$t rag Ferrari Market Newsletter 

I opened one up and read it

488 PISTA SPYDER going for are you ready $695k

And get this

There’s is fiberglass 308 you can get for only $315k 

The 550 crowd has finally gotten realistic with there ASKING PRICE and 

Clyde PRICING has hit the 575 market so now is the time guys 

On another note the FML is truly dead!

bring a trailer has reset the pricing on Ferrari’s with realistic numbers not 

ASKING PRICES that don’t reflect the market whatsoever 

The same goes for CAV 

If you believe those numbers 

You also believe the Jets can win the Super Bowl !

There’s some guy in Nebraska that’s owns a superamerica and he wants $485k 

He has a spare top with the car too!

What’s that tell you?

I feel for the 355 crowd, especially the ones who paid 6 figures for the spyders 

Those cars are like BMW 7 series in pricing !

 

Oh yea one more thing

There was a ROMA at the show, it was being held at Ferrari of Atlanta and they were giving demo rides in the car.

The front spoiler on that car is very low, almost as low as the one on my 512 TR

But my spoiler can be removed and fixed 

Not this one, and get this the sensor for the distance measurement while driving is exposed on the right front, it’s the size of a small box about the size of your cell phone.

Nothing covering it! It’s out there to be hit by anything in the road, unbelievable 

Denise has a 450SL with that same magic system and MB puts it behind very hard fiberglass and you can’t even see it from the outside.

WTF was Ferrari thinking.

It has to be an after thought, like holly shit, MB has this system let’s put in our latest car,

F@ck where do we mount the sensor?

Just put it there Luigi, no one will say a thing, were Ferrari, remember !

Brian I know your read the post.

Pull up the the replacement cost on the front spoiler and electrical box when you get a chance and post it 

See if you can post a picture of the front of the car as well 

 

Overall it was a good show, the weather cooperated
