I would be happy to know your opinion, it would help me choosing the right car : Option A : Rosso Corsa, 8700 miles leather Black interior 425.000 USD 1 owner 2 years Ferrari warranty Ferrari approved car New tires Clean and clear history Complete check prior hand over Equipement : leather interior, 4 points belt, yellow rev, red calipers, parking parking sensors.

I'd take A all day long, its the cheapest, has a great interior, it has been driven (good) and is ferrari approved.
++1. Definitedly option A for the above reasons also. The asking price for option C would be low considering it has very low mileage (it would be listed for 500k for that mileage over here),i.e., it probably has a story and given its unknown history, I would stay away from this car. Also, the dual color racing seats just doesn't look right.
It depresses me that CS's, Scuds and GTO's almost universally have black interiors. I like tans. I'd take C (considering color combo only), but confess I don't really get why C isn't "ferrari approved"??? Not sure what that means.
Hello Piper, Clarification for you, Ferrari Approved = car checked and guaranteed by Ferrari, guarantee can be extended up to 11 years. In short, a Ferrari Approved car should be (theoretically) in better condition than one without. Personally i hate seats of Option C ! Another thing, not sure this is important but : Option B and C = 06/2010 Option A = 09/2011
Well, i am afraid Option C will never be approved ;-) Something stinks with this car in my opinion. In Europe, most of people don't like seats of option A - saying original seats (ie Option B) belongs to the car, not those leather GTB seats. It seems you prefer the leather seats in NA ! So should i go for A ?
Check the clutch wear on A, if it's been driven hard in maybe quite worn and may not be covered under the Ferrari warranty.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA did I mentioned "A"?
I freakin' love the Full-alcantara scuderia seats. A is great , but it has the GTB seats like the US-Specs GTO.... IMO it deeply sucks. I still don't understand why those seats are allowed on the US Scuderias and F12's and not on the GTO's...
You should have bought A like 3 threads ago. Just buy it. If it sells to someone else you will be stuck with 2 other choices that aren't as good.
The interior of option C is by far the best and my favourite....however not a problem for me since I cannot afford it!
Hello all, Clutch wear : Option A : 10% Option B : 7% Option C : unknown :-( I was told that when they the car leave the factory, clutch wear is 3% to 5%. What do you think ? BTW some of you realized prices of GTO are increasing ? It seems to me it is, not much but 5% to 10% in the past 12 months. You cannot find a proper GTO (with clean history) with less than 330.000€ in Europe - 450.000 USD !
Option A would be my pick despite the fact that it has the GTB seats but it does have the 4 point harness. A must have in my opinion. So apart from the seats, option A ticks all the right boxes and has complete paperwork. Go for it. You will love it.
