Does anyone know any information about this car? Or the wisdom of buying it? 😊

Thanks in advance Ferrari forum guys!

I know nothing about the car other than it has been for sale for many months.

As a Scud owner living a few miles from the garage I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

That’s tremendously helpful, thanks so much. I’ll probably swan over in the GT2 Saturday 19th and will have questions after that.

Regarding the advert, how does it strike you?

I have a bit of history on this car.

I believe it was new to Germany. It was displayed at the Essen Motorshow in both 2009 and 2011. Incidentally, although the ad says one owner I'd be surprised if that is correct and I suspect that means one UK owner plus one or more (I would guess more) in Germany.

Beck Evans have had it for sale since June 2016(!). Initially at £154,995. Reduced to £149,995 in July 2016; to £145,995 later in July 2016; increased to £149,999 end of December 2016; reduced to £144,999 end of May 2017; reduced to £139,999 end of August 2017; reduced to £134,999 in Feb 2018; reduced to £129,999 beginning of April 2018.

Thanks for that. Options wise what do you think of this particular example?

JT has confirmed it is a European car, however there is a yellow Scud from the Gulf that has been in a shunt (I inspected it last year).

The LHD scud market is soft - I'm in the process of helping a client buy one and there are virtually no bids out there so very low prices are being entertained.

Looks cheap/could be a good deal - I paid c 150k euros for one with c 52k km last october

To me they look great without the stripes

Not much info, but i think it appears in this video https://youtu.be/a0HR4oWnjwk

I might have just met the former owner in Spa - will get more details tomorrow to ascertain of same car - check for vin if you can - hold off on buying for now would me my recommendation

Might be a different car but sounds very similar

Update: the guy was pretty sure it is his old car as the spec matches incl titanium oil cap, floor mats, 16m wheels etc - I suggest to check paint thickness on all panels as precaution. It should not be 1 owner though as he bought it used, then sold it back to the dealer after looking at it carefully after having owned it for a while and the dealer then sold it to the UK a couple of years ago he thinks

That's excellent many thanks. There was already enough doubt from this thread and elsewhere so I've parked this example. Your information has really tied up a couple of ends.

To be honest, this one owner claim in the advert started ringing the alarm bells.

Meantime I have another lead that I'm following which appears to be very good.

Thanks again everyone. Maybe in a few months I'll be a member of the Ferrari V8 club
