Selling my 2000 360 Modena...price?

Do you have a link to the ads? Id like to see it.

 

Elegant. Black on black is an unusual look, so that might be some of it. Will take the right buyer. But I don't think your price is unreasonable, at least as a starting point. That's middle of the road. Your problem is that 90% buy from dealers. You need maximum exposure and a great web site. KJM3SMG made up a web site for me that sold my car, plain and simple, some 40-50 photos, video of the 430 top gear episode, nice backdrop. I had it on everything BUT ebay, Autotrader, Cars, Ferrari Market Letter, Fchat, was about to put it on Dupont as well. Spend a couple bills and generate maximum exposure. Make a web page. Season is wasting, too. Hurry.

 

Depending on your motivation level.... I'd probably lower the price to low $60's. High $50's if you want to sell it faster.

 

I love that color combination and the fact that it's a coupe (it's what I've been looking for). The problem I'm having is I live in California. Emissions compliance is an issue when purchasing a vehicle from out-of-state.
You may be able to increase your audience (to include CA) if you can show that the vehicle is 50-state compliant (if it is).

 

I just put a link to the custom web page on each ad. It really helped. I would save dupont for last. Do ALL the cheap ones first. You're a little outside Dupont's target with a 2000 as well. Might not be the right venue.

 

Karl did it for me as a favor. I can't volunteer him. He's a Cars and Coffee buddy. If you don't know anyone you can ask a a favor, you could ask him what it would take. First thing you have to do is a good photo shoot. I did mine with nothing more than a cell phone, but I did each wheel, each panel, buffed out the exhaust and shot it, too, etc.

 

To the OP: I don't think you're pricing strategy is too far off.

If you are asking $69k, it realistically means you'll be willing to settle somewhere between $63k-$66k, am I right?

Some folks have pointed out that the market is a little bit soft right now, especially for coupes. Coupes might not suffer the same seasonal spikes and drops as Spider models. I also seem to see more customization in coupes than I do in Spiders. That sort of customization does narrow the purchase crowd a little bit - I confess that I'm looking for a car AS CLOSE to stock configuration, with the exception of a Tubi Exhaust addition, as possible.

Don't be too discouraged, like another post said, I think it will take the right buyer. As a current buyer, I can tell you I'm regularly checking Autotrader, eBay, Cars.com, FML, and DuPont for cars.

Avoid selling to a dealer if you can - you're sure to get worse-than-bottom dollar there!

 

Does the Emissions sticker say:

"THIS VEHICLE CONFORMS TO U.S. EPA NLEV (LEV) AND STATE OF CALIFORNIA (LEV 1) REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO ...."

I'm far from being an expert, but I think that if the emissions sticker shows that it's California compliant and you put the original exhaust back on, it should be 50-state compliant.

 

Ditto

 

You need larger photos and more of them. This is $60-$70k we're talking about. It's worth spending some time taking and posting better photos.

 

I think you are priced high at 69k.

You will be much better off pricing the car in the low 60's ($62.9k?) and then see where the offers land.

If I was to guess I would think buyers would be willing to pay high 50's without a problem. Another car floating around was in FL, red, 42k miles, and he was getting 50k on ebay for it.

 

I agree you need better and more pictures showing details of the car. I personally dont like to see a dyno video of a car that I'm interested in unless its a race car. Just my .02

 

Take a deep breath. I know this isn't fun. Just went through it myself. I had mine on Cars for a couple months with 6-7 pics and couldn't believe people weren't beating down my door. There's red, and there's everything else, true. But there's someone out there for your car, trick is getting them to fall in love with it and want it. If you don't showcase her, it just doesn't get people salivating. They need to see your wheels and calipers up close, see the tread on the tires, see Ferarri engraved on your exhaust can. If you had shields there'd be an obligatory close up to prove you don't have Yoshi's, take a pic of the power seat control. SHOW the car. The pics you put out there are personal photos of YOUR car. Showcase THEIR car, and get it on every site you can. You'll start getting calls, rest assured.

 

Rod. Good luck on the Sale. If you put your stock Cats back on the Nouvalari exhaust will pass emssions in all 50 States
