Whats a good price on a 99 Spider 9K miles?

What color? Grigio, Black, White--Can make a difference in price.. Unless it is some crazy one off color It would say the car is worth around $93K or so....with what you have described--sounds nice..

 

What color is it and does it have factory options like challenge grill, color on calipers, shields.

 

FREAKIN BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude buy it now!!! Honestly, that is one of the best looking 355's I have seen. The interior is off the hook--fantastic color combo!!Their asking price is right on schedule with a Ferrari dealer..But remember that is a ASKING price...Go wheel and deal with them. For the market value of the car and what they are asking--I believe you could come to some mutual price!!!

 

Duuude!!! Its a a 'Fiorano' manual 6-speed???? How rare is that???

 

Dave Helms is a smart man!

$102K isn't stupidly high, but make sure you get a nice trade-in allowance on the Boxster. The best way is always to sell your current car before buying the new one, but if you negotiate the spread you'll do OK. You are paying a premium for a properly serviced, high-end car. That's fine.

I think FoD is pretty keen on creating new Ferrari owners, so you can negotiate a bit.

The other thing I like is that, based on a friend's experience with his F355B, FoD will take care of you after the sale if something comes up (he had an oil leak a week after the major - FoD disassembled the car and put it right on their dime.)

I know it's been reposted ad infinitum, but even with a great car like this one you need $10K+ in reserve for stuff that will happen. Really!

 

I think the color is 'Fiorano' -- not the special model.

 

If it was they would want $116K for it....

 

Beautiful car. I would however ask them to replace that steering wheel with a black one. If they don't and you are looking for one, I have a black challenge wheel (non airbag) that I might consider selling. PM me.

 

Oh

Yeah that would be a killer deal!!!

True..... but being so rare with sub 10k miles, it would be mentally difficult to put miles on it. I wish I could afford to not
put miles on my F355. I would not be able to justify tieing up good money if I could not enjoy it .

 

Do what you got to do!!!! If you can swing it--Go for it!!! You live ONCE!!!!!!!

 

Thats right!! You can't always wait for the 'ideal' financial climate to buy an f-car. I think you are close enough !!!

 

Wow, beautiful color on a 355. I'm sure it's worth every penny of their asking price.

But wait a minute...

NO RESERVE $...??

No, I wouldn't advise you to jump into a 355 without any reserve $ for repairs/maintenance. Maybe look into a 97 or earlier car and have some $ left for unexpected repairs or scheduled maintenance bills. I wouldn't put ALL my money into purchasing the car itself....but it's just me of course.

Good luck deciding.

 

I remember doing the PDI work to that car when it was first delivered to FoD. Pictures in no way can do it justice, one of the classiest color combos I have ever seen on a 355.
Natural dash is too light and reflects a good deal on the windscreen but that can be covered up while driving.
I have never been able to figure out why that color doesnt photograph well but in person it is incredible.
James, are you really trading the Panzer and moving into the Ferrari fold? From a Ser. 1 GT4 to the cream of the crop 355, you have surely covered the gammet when it comes to researching the Marque!
Bring a sharp stick and go poke to Derek, compliment him on his wife (deserved, he married up++!), anything required to put the deal together and pull the trigger.
Life is too short to drive a Panzer every day.
