Default Affordable 599's?

Wow, the 599 is plummeting in the UK. GBP125k - that's a new development to me.

And expect them to fall much further. 2005 AM DB9's can be had for £50K GBP, and Vanquish /VS can be had for similar money. Just go to pistonheads and look at the classifieds for a flavor of the market.

Ah Onno, I would love to be the custodian of a 599 (with a clutch pedal)! As I would of a 550/575M (my medium term goal to keep the 308 company). So many great modern and classic Ferraris, so little loot and time.

couldn't sleep and now I see this: When Glickenhouse mentioned the prices might fall to the under 100k range and I doubted that, now, this is looking kinda of scary...just a year ago, what, people were laying down 300k for a position to purchase,

BTW, I'd take it, but if falling, I would wait. Agree about the bear, if anyone thinks it's getting better, well, we'll be saying this same thing a year from now......it's going to get a bit worse.

luck if it goes stable

599s were trading hands as high as the $500K range just a year ago.

I hope those buyers last year drove the heck out of them because then at least they've had some fun for the money they lost.

not me hoping for one [someday] that is a bit more pristine...only thing about driving it a lot would be whatever built-in problems are found will be sorted under warranty and that's a GOOD thing

PS: Why would anyone want a similarly priced, newer vehicle when the 599 comes into that price range...would make decisions very difficult.

I know of one sold by SVAG at over $500K more than 1.5 years ago!

That was insanity then!
