    But it’s just a paint job, right? They look worse as well.

    it is. Its a pista with a special paint job- but often that's enough to raise the value along term.

    So, if they’re offered to customers who participate in a certain event (an event that requires no skill just cash) does that make the person who buys it second hand a poser?

    It’s not like a person who buys an old race car driven by ex famous racer at Le Mans. At least there’s some history and romanticism there. This is just an (ugly to me) paint job on a car to show off how special you are.

    Pista is an awesome vehicle but to ME it’s not even close to worth $100,000 more than an F8.

    Is anyone paying the asking price? You can walk into any dealer and get them below the advertised price I did.

    How much of a chip percentage wise do you think is viable? I got around 5% off the asking price of my most recent car

    I think most Pista owners would agree that sale price point depends on how the car is speced. I see two factors in play: Those poorly speced will sit longer and floor plan fatigue plays into selling price. Cars which were over-built bringIng MSRP to 500 thousand U.S. or more (except Piloti) will take a big hit. Circumstances may be different in the U.K

    The value in the Piloti is that it is the only LE Pista.
