Random Q: When Will 430 Scuderia Be $110-120k Range?

[hl0m4n]

random q, when do you guys think the 430 scud will be in $110-120k range? the current f430 f1 are going for just about that in the used department so i had to ask.

not a fan of the 458, imo the scud is the best ferrari to date and with a straight pipe

probably never because of the ECO car phase is coming and will make ferrari's(mid-engine raw power cars) more expensive due to supply and demand

yea, because it will make those cars more popular bc noone will want the electric go-carts

but on the tt side, its possible...I for one wouldnt buy a ferrari bc they cost about 5k every 1500 miles to completely flush all fluids...id get a gallardo because it was built to be a DD

The Scud's are pretty rare. I think it'll take a while.

When you move out of your parents house which should be in another 10 years or so.

Hey, I'm waiting for that day, too, by the way. lol

I had a ride in one recently, they are fantastic cars!

I'm not sure you're going to see that price range for a while. Like someone posted above, they are a rare car. Check the prices of the F360 Stradale compared to the F360 of the same year to get an idea of the price difference. Personally, I think you're out 5-6 years from now, maybe longer to get it in that price range.

As for pipes, don't mess with a Ferrari. I saw an F360 with a Kressieg exhaust on it. It sounded INCREDIBLE, but it ran like shit. Every time they would clear the check engine light, it would come right back on. Ferrari has 3 different options right from the factory for exhausts. You're best bet is to use one of theirs. Even Tubi is having a difficult time getting their exhausts to work with the new Ferraris.

You have to remember that Ferrari is made up of a bunch of elitist assholes. Inorder to buy their high performance monsters, even a scud, you would need to have owned 3 ferraris already.

These are the people that wouldn't take ferrocio lamborghinis money because he was a tractor manufacturer

hey that's not too far away..sometime 2012?

In all seriousness, even if you can afford the $120k range, you forget it's still a $280k car to maintain. As some would say, it's not affording till you can afford all that comes with it.

[TK-421]

Not for a very long time, if at all. You can't even find a CS anywhere close to that range

Wouldn't that be the dealer's fault?
That was also 5 years ago. There have been cars sitting on dealer lots available for purchase in the last couple years.

And no it wasnt the dealers fault. It was an order from Enzo Ferrari.

Whatever floats your boat...I would never own a Ferrari tho.

I would say to own/lease a Ferrari...you should be earning something in the range of 2-3 million/year +

You need the house, the fam, the job, the club memeberships, the social status and activities to go with it.

Max car I'd consider woul dbe a C2S or Audi R8.

[FStop7]

That would be over a 50% drop in price, you're not going to see that for a LONG time, if ever. I bet they will hang in the $175k range for a very long time.

[DimSum]

Dont even think about it.
The Scud, will be collector item for sure. The cheapest F430 I saw was an 06' F430 F1, for 120K OBO from Nick @ autotalent, I think.

... unless you buy the car because you want to drive it, not use it to boost your social standing. I'd rather have a Ferrari and drive the hell out of it than attend "parties" like ones in soap operas or have dinner at a stupidly expensive restaurant every other day. Enzo built road cars for the sole purpose of funding his F1 team... that should say something right there.

[BrokenVert]

^ that was what Ferrari originally did. But as I've said, with Ferrari just havin the money is t enough, as evidnced by the existance of lamburghini automobiles, you also need the social status. What can you say, Ferrari builds cars for douchebags and they know their target audience well.

Ferrari builds cars for enthusiasts... it's the douchebags with too much money who buy them just to show off their wealth.
