Newbie Question about Reselling Ferrari F355

It varies, sometimes the car will sell really quickly other times you just have to wait for the right buyer to come along. I would say it's a bad idea in this economy to buy an F355 with the intentions of reselling it quickly.

You may be able to turn a quick sale but only make the move if you can afford to either (A) hold onto the car and have a friend/relative sell it or (B) take a hit on it to dump it quick.

 

+1. Good advice, fo sho.

 

http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=220515 So the seller knocked off $10K?

 

In that posistion I would rent one for a few weekends, will cost you less and be almost as fun.

Buy one in Dubai, a 355 over there would be a rare sight.

 

WTF?? Thats odd.....

 

Either that, or, there is a kid playing on this forum.

 

Well God-willing this car does not need $20k worth of work, but chances are it needs headers and has not had major service but if it has at $50-55k its a beautiful machine. If this car has the factory carbon fiber package that adds to the value IMO, call Ferrari run the vin and find out.

Salam, Schef. If you have an itch to scratch, look into exotic car rentals in your area. I know there's one in NY (Gotham Dream Cars) that have 360's for rent.

No point in buying a used F355 then having to potentially bring it up to current maintenance levels, and only enjoying it for a few weeks out of the year before selling it again. If you still need to own one after you come back from Dubai, the good news is they will be even cheaper then (or you could just buy a 360!)

 

Or he could find an Al-thani in Qatar and buy a Modena for $50k or a 355 for $30k in Dubai.

 

Holy cow--they are that cheap over there?

 

Hey, who says you can't day trade Ferraris?

 

Schaf, I'm also in Northern VA. I'll gladly 'watch' it for you while you're gone. No charge.
