    Please PM me some details. My budget is on the lower side; but still very fair. Just very tired of trying to negotiate with a dealer whose had the car for more than 90 days and is not motivated to sell.

    Thanks in advance. I am also not in a huge rush as I continue to save money so that my small bridge loan will be minuscule as the bulk of my purchase approx. 85% is already in the bank! Flexible on setting a close date sometime in August or September so you can continue to enjoy the vehicle through the summer..

    This will be a car that my Father and I share as we partnered on our 550 almost a year ago - but found out his arthritis increased and shifting irritated his left leg. Therefore, a F1 would be the obvious choice.

    Again, thanks and talk soon!

    I'm also looking for a 599 from an owner as I'm having a similar experience. I'm in Texas but can look East orbWest

    That is a great car and priced accurately!!! My max is $130.. Too many 07's priced at $164.. Hahahha dealers can be a pain in some cases.

    You should consider mid 140's for 2007
    130 won't happen ....not now anyway.
    They are selling 2007 599 at auction for mid 130 .
    Very rare to see.

    Blackhorse Motors bought the 550 back in early May.

    I've already negotiated 2 higher mileage 08's for less than $130; one even included shipping. Did not pull the trigger in an attempt to see if something better comes along.

    If the car is still available in the next month or so; I will most likely take the salesman up on his offer..

    Don't get me wrong; I agree these vehicles are worth the money & if I could play in the mid $140's I'd have a car by now - but I can't.

    You negotiated 2 cars to a price *below* your budget and didn't pull the trigger.

    Don't get me wrong; if you weren't a tire kicker, you'd have a car by now.

    This bunch is worse than a wife..

    First, it's you can't get one for that price.

    Now, it's you're a tire kicker..

    There's a 2009 black/black in Florida for $155k USD. It has 15k miles. Nicely optioned car. (carbon seats, ceramic brakes, challenge wheels)

    Would love to see which 599 I can buy for 130. Can you ping (pm) those to me by any chance? I am still in the toying with the ide stage..but a price like that may push me over the edge!

    Neither of the vehicles mentioned earlier are listed at that price of course. This has been conversations, I've had with the sellers.

    No disrespect, but I've beaten the pavement hard, sent a lot of emails and made countless phone calls. I am not going to give up my sources out of respect for their goodwill and flexibility.

    PLUS: I still may pull the trigger on one of them and I don't want to limit my options.

    That may come off worse than it sounds in my head, but after being laughed at and hung up on many times - I have some blood out on the field with many of these sellers - therefore, I cherish the ones who're willing to talk with me professionally instead of being jerks (this is my price, take it or stop wasting my time b.s.).

    If you still want the option of buying then I can understand.

    However once you decide on another car you will surely be doing the seller a favor for finding him/her a buyer at the price he/she is willing to sell for. Certainly a nice thing to do for someone who treated you professionally without being a jerk right? After all you spent a ton of their time with countless phone calls and emails (as you put it) without buying. The least you could do is hand them a another buyer which costs you nothing.

    That's actually some very good logic if I thought like a socialist. Once I make my decision, I'll happily relinquish my information.

    Please elaborate, I don't quite get your logic.

    If you think that it is being socialist to do what I suggested then you must also think that it is "socialist" for people here to offer you help when you post on Fchat right?

    Reciprocity does not equal Socialism

    Perhaps (hopefully) that is not what you mean?
