thankfully we did not have any hurricane impact in Miami....only tropical storm winds. Can someone ask about the low tire pressure light and tell the seller to show the actual tire pressures on the screen? BAT has censored me from any of their darling seller's posts because i criticized him about being disingenuous/lying on a previous sale.

edit BAT finally allowed 1 of my posts asking for tire pressure screen

Interesting ending for this clean, one owner, mystic white car....595k. Market seems to have cooled significantly from a year ago.

GT BS is much less valuable and less rare than our SLS.

More proof the collector car market is dead. Collectors are realizing that collecting these things was a bad investment after all especially when factoring the skyrocketing insurance and maintenance and storage cost along with the increasing rarity of buyers.

This car with 97 miles is a unicorn! 4 years ago in 2021 multiple Black Series with a few thousand miles easily fetched close to that final bid.

The Ferrari market is going nuts. Speciale,16M etc have all seen appreciation in the last couple of years tremendously. Friend paid 400K for a 16M at the same time I bought my SLS black. He is getting offers in the 1.2M range meanwhile I will be lucky to get what I paid for it.
Where is the love for the Benz??

Are you selling your SLS BS? Indeed, the market for naturally aspirated special series and track focused Ferrari's have been going nuts given the Fugly cars coming out of Maranello. I'd hands down rather have an SLS BS than a 16M and I've put couple thousand miles on the 16M. I have a Challenge Stradale and pleased with what prices have been doing but its all on paper as I have no plans to sell as I've owned it for 16 years.
