    As winter time approcahes I find myself wanting to sell my 355 and wait until spring to buy a 360. I love the car, I just need to get a model with a bit more room. Even though I am in the sales business I find typical sales methods don't work to well with a Ferrari. Can anyone recommend a good outlet to market my car that I'm not thinking of. FYI I have a 99 355F1, 14K miles, major just done, that's a reallly excellent condition car. I know I'm going to lose a ton from from what I paid a year and a half ago, and that I'm OK with, I refuse to wholesale it on ebay or th like though.
    Thanks for any advice you can offer.

    Why not buy a Silver subscription ($15) and advertise right here on FChat?

    I think you may want to consider flipping the sale/buy dates if you're comfortable carrying both cars for a short period of time. I've found it much better to sell in the spring and to buy in the winter. You might try what I did. I told my wife that I was going to go ahead and buy another car in the dead of winter so I would get the best price for it and then sell the Ferrari in the spring when I can get top dollar. Just never sold the Ferrari though.

    She quickly caught on and doubt I'll be able to pull that one off again ;-)

    1) I do have a good car, Darin at BSC says it'sone of the nicest 355's he's seen, but at this point I will definately sell it for "give away money"

    2) Now that I know I can advertise here with a subscription I will do jus that.

    3) I know I'm on the losing end both ways but I don't want to carry even one car through the winter, never mind 2. Although if I sell the 355 I may not wait until spring to get the 360!

    Let's see. Winter. I've heard of it somewhere, I'm sure. Smiles from sunny SoCal!

    Is that when frozen water falls from the sky is some places not fit for human habitation?

    Good luck to you!

    Exactly what I did! I just bought a 355, but will wait to sell the Mondial until spring - when I can certianly command a higher price. I'm not making any payments on either, so it was an easy sell to the wife. Oh, plus I promised her an Escalade :)

    Plus, there is something really cool about having 2 Ferraris :)
