I think the NAs will gain more appreciate as time goes by. Maybe not in the short term but say 10 years from now I think they'll end up being like air-cooled Porsches.
Huracan pricing bubble
I don’t know about anyone else, but these prices are getting out of control. Evos with 5k+ mileage asking for 350k plus?? Performantes in the high 300 low 400 range? 610s approaching 300? At some point this has to relax a little. I’m just some old guy venting that when he finally has enough to purchase the cars that the asking price keeps getting higher and higher.

My desire is to keep at least one GPF free NA engine, and that's simply because I love the sound and linear acceleration.
Though, initially, I bought into the last of breed argument but I now feel the counterargument is more persuasive.

That’s what makes the market…different opinions! Only time will tell who’s right.I think the NAs will gain more appreciate as time goes by. Maybe not in the short term but say 10 years from now I think they'll end up being like air-cooled Porsches.
Yes, that’s true for sure!My desire is to keep at least one GPF free NA engine, and that's simply because I love the sound and linear acceleration.

If I’m not mistaken, you had a great deal on your initial used Huracan buy. Like 15-20% discount after a year? Then you got an Evo and received a great trade in? If the market never went bonkers and your current Evo at trade in for the STO will be at 25% off MSRP and the STO will drop 10-15% the first year on ownership, would you actually be wanting to keep so many cars? I do think a big part of the demand of these cars is due to current pricing, to be honest.
Yes I was fortunate to get involved with Lamborghini when I did and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience but, these cars so much fun that even if I lost money I would be okay with it, AKA a hobby.Yes, that’s true for sure!

As of today, I am leaning toward keeping both 10-Cylinders but I really have my eye on the "A" replacement but, at this point, I am not certain I will get said allocation. In terms of market strategy, it seems selling the EVO now would be the "best" move, and then wait and see if the replacement allocation happens.
I meant to say people will gain an appreciation for the NA cars. I doubt they will appreciate (increase in value over MSRP) but I think they will even out in the long run and hold well.That’s what makes the market…different opinions! Only time will tell who’s right.
If that would be the true case of ICE cars the gallardo could of easily doubled in price but it didn't.Understood. I have listened to both arguments presented to date i.e., the V10/V12 NA engines being last of breed and will hold their value long term, and the contrarians, there are far too many produced for present values to hold long term. I am of the latter camp, but as you indicate, no one knows when the bubble will burst.
NA will have a prized position amongst enthusiasts. Look at the 458 Ferrari. I think this will help support prices but long term these cars won't be unicorns as there are so many NA10 lambos. Lambo has produced 20,000+ Huracans alone and they're not even done with production yet.
Good observation! I don’t follow the market on older cars beyond 5 years or so…..If that would be the true case of ICE cars the gallardo could of easily doubled in price but it didn't.
Lets not forget the R8 also has the same V10 so if someone really wanted a NA V10 say 10 years from now they can buy a R8 for less.
You're missing a big piece of the puzzle with this post. Although the all motor aspect is one reason the 458 is regarded as the last good ferrari is mainly because the masses didn't like the 488 esthetic at all. F8 is better but many prefer the 458. I think it's hard to find someone that prefers the Gallardo over the Huracan. Will they prefer the new car over the Huracan? Time will tell.NA will have a prized position amongst enthusiasts.

I wasn't even thinking about the Gallardo. With 20,000+ huracans I think you can go pretty deep before having to resort to a Gallardo.You're missing a big piece of the puzzle with this post.

My huracan is arriving in the fall so with my luck you can expect the car market to crash as soon as I take delivery.Frankly I just think in a year or so things will have drifted back to normal.
Well, you have a $50k headstart, so I think you’ll be fine for a while….My huracan is arriving in the fall so with my luck you can expect the car market to crash as soon as I take delivery.
I don't know about that. There's currently 350+ H's for sale and this number doesn't include dealer stock that isn't listed online. It's a red flag for me because we're heading towards the summer driving season but yet there's so many cars listed for sale.Well, you have a $50k headstart, so I think you’ll be fine for a while….
Unless the inventory starts to dwindle in the coming months the chances are by Fall/Winter we could see H's returning back to list or dipping below as inventory increases.
150+ Evos for sale alone in the US. That’s a lot of cars even though it may not seem like a lot. Not to mention quite a few show reduced price as of late.

I don’t think it will crash to MSRP by the time he takes delivery….that’s what I meant by “for a while”. Was not referring to a timeframe measured in years.150+ Evos for sale alone in the US.

Wow didn't realize there were 350 H's for sale. If you just count EVOS there are 126. For comparison, I looked up the other cars I own and there are 64 458s and 35 F12s.
Really depends on where the economy is at and how many EVO's are listed for sale.I don’t think it will crash to MSRP by the time he takes delivery….that’s what I meant by “for a while”. Was not referring to a timeframe measured in years.
Wow…you’re more bearish than me and here I was thinking I was by far one of the most bearish on the market.Really depends on where the economy is at and how many EVO's are listed for sale.
