Oh....me and my teenage son on a roadtrip through NC mountains for a week...him driving the 2018 911 GT3 with manual gearbox on Tail of the Dragon....it is his favorite car in the stable.
Memories with son...priceless!

Enjoy your car’s guys!

 

Now there’s a legit Ferrari fan. Well done. Bravo.

 

just need three more then you have different F car for all 7 days of the week. Nice collections!

 

Miles and smiles! Love it!! BRAVO!

 

my local dealer in Austin has a Pista and a Speciale Aperta, and the Pista is $20k cheaper at $579,995.

I accepted a few years ago that I just don’t care about the values. I try to find a deal that’s acceptable to me, accept that it will lose money, and not care. I’m single with no kids, so who am I saving that value for anyways? I drove my F12 through a torrential down pour and didn’t care. Not one person asked me when I sold it if it had been driven in the rain. No doubt that everyone wants to minimize their loss in anything that they buy, but you can’t let it be the driving force that keeps you from enjoying the cars.

 

Fantastic post. Am going to mark this post and refer back to it every time I worry about $$ value with my cars.

 

I’d fire my financial manager if my 2014-2015 investments had appreciated as little as the speciales have. drive them, enjoy them, take care of them. but 500k of amzn the better investment.

 

I would fire any financial manager who told you a car was an investment! It is a depreciating asset. Lol.

 

Purchasing a collector type car has proven to be wrought with anxiety and ambivalence. The desire to actually drive the car is overwhelming yet simultaneously everytime you put miles on it, its value diminishes. This represents a no win situation. If you treat the purchase solely as an investment, you derive no pleasure in its ownership and ultimately, there are far more lucrative ways to be financially enriched. If you purchase the car for the subjective pleasure of driving it, then the investment objective is obviated. Moral of the story- Buy a super car you love and drive it at every available opportunity which is why these machines were created.

 

You should update your username. #Bethisguy

 

just know you're not alone brother. Single no kids and reaching 16k miles on my Speciale. I've taken a *financial* hit on every single car I've owned as expected and couldn't care because it means I made memories enjoying the car

 

I would have asked..

 

This car is currently listed with a Ferrari dealership in California for 100k more than it sold at BaT.

The more special edition V8's come our way the more the 458 aperta and speciale will dip
IMO the F40 Icono will also have an effect and so will a VS SF90

 

I am not too sure about that. I can see how sf90 vs can have an impact on the hybrid LaFerrari for instance. I dont think the sf90 had a real impact on the desirability or collectability of the 458SA neither do I see a threat from an upcoming turbo charged F8 VS. As to the F40 Icona if it gets announced i can see prices of original F40 rise, people always prefer originals to copies. I could actually see how it could make the SA more desirable. I might be wrong time will tell

 

Yup.

When I buy these cars, I just imagine taking 400k (or whatever it is) in cash, pouring lighter fluid on it, setting it on fire and <poof> now the money is gone and I don't care. If my fear of losing money is >/= the enjoyment the car brings me, then I shouldn't buy the car (but sometimes I still do ).

you’re all wrong ... this SA didn’t sell for an all time low bc of the miles, condition or spec ... the seller should have listed with Doug on Cars and Bids
