I know this thread has been done before, but not for a while! Looking like these are dropping quite considerably. However, none of them seem to be shifting. Quite a nice example below, priced £20,000 lower than the others.. but white?!

Just bought one a week or two ago - taking delivering in a couple of weeks.

There was movement on the price but not by a huge margin. I did also buy a car at the higher end of the market, but there are some superb deals to be had circa £280-290k if you're not fussy about the spec.

I think they bottomed during COVID at £260k on CC. Think you can assume for the next couple of years that will be the trade value on most cars.

Congratulations! Looks absolutely stunning. Just saw the original advert on the dealers site. Excited to hear how you get on with it.

What were your "must haves" for the spec?

I sort of went a bit wrong at first when I started looking tbh - I was looking for a car with JBL and Carplay as absolute must haves. After chatting with the guys at the local dealer and a bit of digging, they're pretty useless to be honest - so those then went out the window.

As far as I was concerned the major defining factors after that were mostly down to personal preference with color, inside and out, stripe config etc. Wheel color can be changed any time. Mine comes with Carbon wheels, but those are being taken off and stuck on a wall somewhere - not a practical option for using the car regularly, so replacing with OEM wheels.

The basics like lift was a given, cannot do without that. I don't think there's a huge amount else that is functionally critical - everything else is set dressing. I much prefer gloss carbon, for example, but can settle for matte with the right car. There is the option for front parking sensors but it adds these ridiculous looking "front nipples" I describe them as. So, wasn't too bothered about that either.

I just wanted a beautiful color and stripe combination, aesthetically speaking. Found it so pulled the trigger!

Lol, 3500 cars more like 6000 cars worldwide, 600 came to uk, almost double Speciale. These are selling quitely in the 270 range, so about right price outside a main dealer.. Numbers aside, Pista one of the best looking Ferrari’s ever made. It’s bang on, but do I miss mine, nope. Didn’t feel the emotional attachment to it.
