360 Spider cat D

[barriejames]

Dear all

Be interested in how you all would value this, or is it a walk away job. The word Verdi has been mentioned for an offside repair which made it cat D is that enough to run? Id be interested to know its real worth

Wow cat d cars are this expensive now. Can't opine on the car itself, you will need to have it checked over by somebody yiu trust or a ferrari dealer to see how well the repair was done. Will be very difficult to sell in the UK with everybody nowadays only focusing on investment value

My car was serviced by verdi for a couple of years (2008-2009) from memory and I personally did not have a bad experience with them - from what I read others have had bad experiences though (as long as the car checks out that should not concern you though)

No cat D 360s not this expensive I think he is atleast 15-20k over priced and only then to the right buyer
Just curious what the thinking is on the whole 360 cat d thing

Verdi are mechanics, not bodywork. Ergo the work was farmed out. To whom? Your guess as good as mine. You'll never sell the car in a falling market and only the best cars are selling now.

So even at 40 grand it's expensive!

Falling market?? Not much sign of that just a small correction for winter due, next spring I think high again, I could be wrong though

The pricing is way off for a cat D, I would have thought £40k is the limit but there will be very few people who want a cat D Ferrari so selling it on will be a pain.

As others have said, the price is just silly for the stigma that the cat tag gives.

The there is the repair. You need to know what the damage was and how it was repaired.

I wouldn't worry too much about selling it. If you can prove the repair quality, it just needs to be the right price.

Prices should remain fairly strong, even if not rising. I don't think you'll ever see 360 spiders available for less than 40k again personally, but the 430 and 458 prices will dictate to some extent.

That does seem a bit pricey for an F1 cat D car though.

I might even sell my manual spider.

'You will not lose money on this investment' he states. Get the owner to sign a statement to that effect then you're sorted!

You might just be. But I assume you're not looking to buy a car for investment purposes? If you are, I'd strongly advise you not to 'invest' right now.
