How is the spec? Is it missing anything vital?

Not for me no. I'd prefer to go for one that wasnt heavily tracked. It will only be doing a euro trip a year and Sunday morning blasts.

Assuming the chassis number given is correct it is a LHD car that was previously in Germany. I don't know (and wouldn't say if I did) about any track history.

If it's LHD it's very expensive IMO.

Can't be a right hand drive car at that price & mileage unless there is a major story behind it. I reckon it will be LHD

Yes I was curious about the price with that mileage. Although that's where they were price wise 12 months ago.

I could of bought a RHD one for that price only 3 months ago but it didn't float my boat enough and was a bit rough around the edges. Some prep was done on the car and it reappeared a month later at an extra £15k and sold immediately.
The market seems to have moved on with the Scuderia bringing it in line to Challenge Stradale. IMHO the value has now gone and the risk /reward equation as an investment has changed.

If you love the car and are buying it as a driver you probably won't lose a fortune but as an investment the recent impetus has dampened the potential short term return.

With Challenge Stradale and Scuderia at record high prices and diminishing numbers whats the next Italian supercar, in small numbers, and no longer in production to enjoy a rise in values ???????

Scuderias are great but also can be a pain in the arse. My car drove me insane with endless faults and warranty claims. It literally lived at the dealers draining the balance of Ferraris warranty pay out chest.

A casual chat with one of the service guys revealed that some Scuds seem to be better than others and that most problems were arising from cars used on the road compared to the dedicated track cars which seemed to run with less issues and claims.

Go figure !!!

For sure - be interesting to see if a the same £30k premium or more opens up over the recent Scuderia prices taking it to £200k+ territory.

I was thinking of a similar Italian supercar car but probably better value for money, german build quality and engineering, on a par with MP4 12 C and 458 and which is highly underrated. I daren't mention it though and if the secret gets out everyone will be wanting one. You can't deny that I have tried to tip people off so don't blame me when this boat has sailed

Mate, you bought totally the wrong red Lambo. This is where its at. About a million times more special, and a proper Lambo tongue out

Interesting comments regarding comments about on and off track reliability. I suppose our roads are so harsh on cars that that could actually make sense.

I'm in a bit of a predicament. My first mistake was not buying a 360CS about 2 years ago. Had the chance to get a perfect example for 89k and talked myself out of it. I told myself it was too fragile for the sorts of roads that I drive on on a Sunday. I was probably right but I mostly regret missing out on an investment opportunity. I ended up buying a GTR which has caused me another problem. It's just better than any other car on the road at getting from A to B this side of £150,000. The only car that genuinely appeals to me is an aventador at the moment. I've always promised myself an Italian supercar for my 30th birthday which is fast looming but due to business ventures that keep cropping up, funds for another 12 months won't allow for an aventador. I suppose I'm lookin for something to tide me over in the meantime. A 360cs, scuderia or performante are the only cars that catch my attention at the moment. 360cs is still out, at 120k I'd still have bought one but they have gotten to money now that I don't feel they're worth. Scuderia i don't like the looks of and the overall build quality and finish aren't great, but everything else is perfect. And a performante or superleggera I've not really spent any time with or driven. It probably is just a case of rushing into something and fulfilling a promise but I don't want to have any regrets. The GTR is just too fast and capable and not special enough at low speeds. A victim of its own success maybe. I've come back from a recent euro trip thinking the UK is completely the wrong place for a GTR. It just wants to be going too fast all the time to be fun.

OP, I'm sure there are unreliable cars around but buy wisely and you should be fine. I've had my 16M since new, it's been brilliant. Scud I'm sure would be the same

Im not hugely bothered by any issues that would be covered by warranty anyway. I'm right in saying ferrari still offer a comprehensive warranty on anything under 10 years old?

Imagine paying 200k for a car that looks like it's been painted with a rattle can.
