Help me decide (Not an Aston thread)

I can't decide! Do I get the red or white Scuderia? The red is about 12k cheaper and is in slightly better shape. Both cars are in excellent condition so it's nit picking

Before looking at the pictures, my reaction was red all the way. However, the white looks pretty cool with that stripe. Why would the red one be that much cheaper if its in better condition?

Wow, I am firmly in the White camp as well. You can't go wrong with red on a Ferrari, but man that white does something special for that car.

RossL, what are they asking for these? I would like to buy a Scud myself, although not this minute (so I'm not competing with you). Wondering what the current market rate is. Thx

Depends on what your garage already has.

$ 12K less money on the red and its in better shape? That's a no brainer for me. $ 12K buys a lot of sticky track tires.

I'll PM you. Basically the market was very strong for sellers, then softened, but is now started to firm up again. White and red Scud's demand a premium with white being higher. It does look great in white but part of me just wants to pocket the 12k for track days, maintenance, and tires.

So hard to decide

Buy the red and get it wrapped to white. You save $ and are happy with the color

As a concours judge, I am so tired of seeing red Ferraris. Go for the white if you can afford it.
