Assignment: Driving pleasure without losing value In 2021, we were approached by a client with a specific wish. He didn't want the car just parked in the garage under a tarp. He was looking for a younger car, ideally a convertible, with which he will enjoy weekends in the districts, but at the same time he will be sure that he does not suffer in subsequent sales.
Our pick: Ferrari F355 GTS In August 2021, we provided a wonderful Ferrari F355 GTS with manual transmission. It is the manual that is the key factor for the growth of value in this model. The price, including a complete major service, was then 125,000 EUROS.
Result after 3 years The client was actively driving the car. In three years, he drove over 10,000 km, enjoying the sound of an atmospheric eight-cylinder and the pure joy of driving. When he decided to change in 2024, we found a new buyer in July. The selling price has climbed to 178,000 EUROS.
Balance of investment:
- Profit: 53 000 EUR (approx. 1 330 000 CZK)
- Evaluation: + 42%
- Bonus: 3 years of experience behind the wheel of a legend
This example shows that a properly selected car is able to earn even though you are driving it. You don't need to have a budget of tens of millions to combine passion with reasonable appreciation of money.
