I think F-Dealers a re higher because they attrack people that do not want to shop and want to tell their friends they bought at Ferrari of XXX. You think you get the better car from a F-Dealer but fact is you do not get anything else there you get some other place.

Thanks Tim. Honesty in the car business will pay off in the long run. Most dealers are just out for a quick buck.

I have a 1998 355 F1 red/tan with 8500 miles from basically the original owner for $ 128,000. Just a tad over if you ask me, but that is what he wants. The car is excellent though!

I have a 1995 355 Spider red/tan with 15,300 miles, 15K is being done right now, excellent shape with minor stone chips (the usual), one owner $ 113,000

I have a rare yellow/tan 355 Spider, 9400 miles, 15K done, built 7/95 for $ 117,000 (also a little on the high side)

Just to give you guys some ideas about pricing today. These are REAL cars, not fiction.

What is the reality on Ferrari pricing? Where do you start your bidding? Are dealer prices regularly 10 or 15% higher that what the car will sell for eventually?

I've seen them off of 635/I-35 area, but never went buy there. I think there next to a DAEWOO dealership? They have advertised many euro-Ferraris in the past & very high market prices. 360's, 355's 550's etc...

I think $120k for a 1999 Spyder is close, although not the way they've treated it.

Here's the e-mail I sent them...

Ferraris aren't meant to be left sitting outside along 35 night, day, and weekends.

The one at auto link is a spyder.

A perfect 98 B should be just a little over 100k I would think. I think you're close to getting bites.

Where do they come from.
I have a 1998 355 B for sale with only 6500 Miles for below $110K and can not get bites.

similar to this one?

or closer to the edge?

Autolink in Dallas, where is it? I know of the F-dealership on 75, but they'd never do that.

You can't miss them Bob, they're right next to the highway. Perfect spot for flying rocks to hit the parked cars.

35E on East side just south of 635 about half mile.

I don't know how much they're asking. I don't even know what year it is.
