Dashurik Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Ya all sold out but he has 2 !! He offered the blue one to me but it's just not affordable for me really .... Which is a shame as they have gone up in value by around 30k already !! By £30k...wow..thats a good investment! Quote
monkeybrain1234 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Shmee150 has one of these and also says they are rocketing in value. Good investment for sure as you basically get free motoring for a few years. Lucky guy. Quote

Jetpilot Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 100 -110k I was speaking to a mate of mine yesterday who sold a sls amg convertible to buy his 458 about a year ish ago for 115k, now they are 170k he only lost 4k in 1.5 years of motoring in it Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Ya it's crazy .... If you have the money to play with, these cars don't end up costing you a lot at all . The gt4 is a cracking car for 70k but they are around 110k now .... Not worth that imo . Quote
Jetpilot Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I remember looking at Testarossa not too long ago (within the last 7-8 years), you could buy one for 30k!!! Quote
monkeybrain1234 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I remember looking at Testarossa not too long ago (within the last 7-8 years), you could buy one for 30k!!! Same with F355's two years ago. Going for 30-40k couple of years ago, now prices have jumped up to 60+. Kicking myself a friend and me were planning on buying one, for 15k each it was totally worth it for a few years of shared ownership. Needless to say we didn't get one and now totally regret it.

Jetpilot Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Agree with that, soon as you can actually get some decent interest out of the banks the speculation on cars will decrease. I remember the crash before. Quote
nissanman312 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Agree with that, soon as you can actually get some decent interest out of the banks the speculation on cars will decrease. I remember the crash before. It's seems to be a 10/15 year cycle Quote
monkeybrain1234 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Surely the F355 is unlikely to come down in price, will be a classic and would now increase in value? Up to a certain point of course. . . Quote
Ekona Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Until people who bought them as an investment realise they're dropping in price so bin them quickly at a lower price to minimise loss, when then starts everyone doing the same. Or those that bought them to drive at £35k now realise they can't afford to run them, so need to get shot quickly but their car now needs major work so isn't worth as much. Optimistic maybe, but this all happened before too in the last crash, so I reckon we've half a chance again The very best examples never will though, you're right on those only going up. 1 Quote
Jetpilot Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 There will always be cars that attract speculation, but some of the prices at the moment are just fantasy, nearly a 50% premium on a 70k car is just that imho. if I had one on order or my drive it would be gone in a heartbeat 2 Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 Perhaps I can twist my mates arm to sell the gt4 to me at what he paid for it ! Think I'm dreaming to be honest ..... After all he is a business man 1 Quote
Jetpilot Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 After all he is a business man A buisness man would have the 50% profit in the bank and no car on the drive Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 After all he is a business man A buisness man would have the 50% profit in the bank and no car on the drive A business man orders 2 gt4's and sells one back to Porsche for a 30k profit ! Making the 2nd GT4 45k on the road !! 1 Quote
Jetpilot Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Surprised he managed to get an order for 2 on such a ltd number car. Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 Think he has connections at Porsche due to having about 5 of them ! Quote
docwra Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Ive been watching the Spyder prices recently too, thats a no brainer investment, but any limited number Porsche is. Quote
