Acquiring 599 GTO

Do it!!!!...wish i was in position to buy it...I'd have to sell my boxer and 550 to do it financially ...it is an awesome car

 

++1 Once you drive one, you will be forever hooked...Once you buy one, you will never let it go...
There is another black GTO at FoNE asking for 499k with around 6k miles. Most GTOs for sale currently with less than 2k miles are asking for 500k or more. Thus, the asking price for this GTO is actually lower than the rest of the pack. Good luck!

 

know the car very well , it is as clean as it can get, no history

btw when you drive the GTO you wont want a 458

 

90k dollars more expensive than the ones u find in Italy but then again the reselling value seems stable and the warranty is important, if it includes all. if u have the money go for it.

 

You cant compare to Italy, not only because of the financial and general anti-expensive goods atmosphere in Italy but because the US market is a closed one until cars are 25 years old. So the 599 GTO market in the US is limited to those chassis delivered as US specs. It's a market within a market.

 

Please, explain, what do u mean a closed one until they are 25 years old ?

 

Don't hesitate! It's the best sensation you'll ever have with a modern day Fcar

 

American buyers can not shop for european or asian or rest of the world specifications cars. They are limited to the US-specs pool of cars which is much smaller than the pool of cars a european buyer will have access to. And that is true for 25 years. You can only bring non-us specs cars into the US market after the car is 25 years or older (unless the model was never sold in the US market and represent a certain significance in terms of technology or history).

 

Didnt know that. Ok, thanks for the info.

 

Get the car. When the 250 GTO goes off at 80 million this summer all the GTO cars will see a bump up. This car is an awesome shade of black- nero seseto I believe it is.

 

I've only had my GTO for a few weeks but WOW!!!! I've been through a lot of cars but never anything like the GTO. I had a Porsche 997 GT2RS which is more rare than the GTO (500 in the world) and it was close. But only close. The sound of the GTO is intoxicating.

My GTO originated in Canada & I bought it in Cleveland. They told me it was only a paperwork thing to get into the States. No changes to the car.

This from the carfax report:

03/21/2014

US Dept of Transportation Blaine,WA

Vehicle imported and declared to meet US highway safety specifications

Bond released on 05/21/2014

 

I think they made more... but I bet that color is fairly rare. It is a very cool color- its like theres a little silver in there.

The last owner of that car bought it through Ferrari Denver. He actually posted a thread here looking for a gto and found that one after a couple days. He hated the paddle shifter and dumped the car in less than a month. He also had Denver add the carbon shields. My understanding was the car is beautiful. Go get it!! Price is pretty reasonable as it is less than msrp (which I heard was $495k or so).

 

Im guessing Canada's specs arent that different then. Otherwise the US market would be flooded with much cheaper european cars (ex, F12 are readily available in Europe for around $300k.)

 

Andrew- Specs on Canadian and US cars are identical except the Canadian ones come with metric gauges and US with English. DOT does not care if the gauges are metric, and some cars are selectable for either.
