I had a 599 stick in February 2015 and here is why I don't now!

Settled with them? You're continually pointing the finger at them. Let me ask you, as the consumer, do you not have any obligations here or is it the dealer's responsibility to make sure you're informed? Do you not have ANY responsibility towards due diligence on your part?

 

There is a saying that goes "trust but verify." That's why people get PPIs before buying a car. Should you not have done the exact opposite before selling? For example get a market evaluation from another source? Would you sell your home based solely on a relator's suggestion?

 

I agree that they SHOULD have told you, but I just think there is shared obligation.on the bright side you won't make the same mistake again

 

Me? Nah. But I've served with many

 

Still whining and pointing the finger at others? Like how everyone else missed the pointof the post? its you pal. all you. They had no obligation to tell you anything beyond "yes I will buy the car" and then stroke the check for that amount. They have no obligation to tell you they were selling the car. Why didnt you do some research on the car you own and drive? Like.. How rare it is. Sorry, just comes off as another enrolled schmuck with sellers remose. Move on...(sorry)

 

You don't know when to stop. You messed up, in time you will get over it. And yes it is about the money otherwise you wouldn't keep whining.

 

Common sense should have told you that something is very strange when a dealer wants to buy back a car at a price higher than what he sold it to you for...

 

with all do respect to you where you miss the point is that they offered you a price and you AGREED to the price . they have no responsibility to forecast anything about the value I suspect if that car at auction sold for 20K less then you sold your car for you would have felt like you got a great deal .... you should know the dealer is always working for the deal the salesman has no reason to out think the deal he made you a fair offer i suspect you were thrilled to get it (as i would have been) dealer probably thought they were taking care of you with the offer

 

The two threads about this are a great f-chat community warning and we should thank the OP for the heads up.




We now know to never do business with him.

 

How did you not know a 6 speed manual was a rare car? The dealer was under zero obligation to tell you why they wanted to buy it. What did you think they wanted if for, a parts car? Of course they were going to resell it. Sorry all this rests 100% on you.

 

I get the point. You bough multiple cars for this dealership, made them lots of money and as a reasonable person expected them to be fair and forthright. However as you unfortunately realized dealerships are out to make money and don't care about being upfront.

I think it sucks that they did this and unfortunately in the future you can not trust anyone and that is a sad commentary on society. The right thing would have been to offer you more than they did.

 

Ferrari dealer suing customer for trash talking. Story from todays New York Post.

I guess that will teach him. Time to start the popcorn?

 

Not sure if this is news to you guys, certainly not something I'd heard about.

See: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/612-599/488228-599-auction-response.html

The customer was still complaining last night. Not sure why, my bet is he got served and was trying to drum up support?

 

Thanks, did a quick search by name but didn't find it. Sorry for the repost. First world problems eh?

 

Surely. My feeling is the threads will be merged soon.

 

I'll take it a step further. Not only does the dealer have no responsibility to forecast the value but I think that would be highly disingenuous of a dealer to sell someone a car based on hypothetical future values. What happens if the car goes down in price? Then what? Then someone would say the dealer said it would go up and it went down instead? No thank you. Buy or sell the car for what it is and not what it could be. This was a fair deal all the way around.

FYI, I have issue with this repeated assertion that Miller "participated" in the auction. They were spectators along with thousands of people. I participated in the auction as I sold a car in that sale. The RM guys had a long talk with me about the 599. They asked me what I thought. I thought maybe $300k. They thought a little less. As I said before on there, NO ONE saw this coming. And by then, this Miller deal was well in the history books by then.

Lastly, I am not sure how Miller would have known about the projected estimate of the RM car as the auction catalogs didn't arrive to the prospective bidders more than 2 weeks or so ahead of the sale. I always get advanced copies and they don't come far in advance. If Miller was not participating the sale, which they were not, then they may not have even gotten a catalog until they showed up at the sale. Besides, estimates are just that: estimates . No one knows what a car will sell for until it sells. If you don't believe me then ask people who sell cars regularly: the auction circuit is a trail of tears for a lot of people.

 

From the article:

I can't help but think that many things have happened that shouldn't have stunned you at all. At multiple stages along the way, you've failed to exercise due diligence. If you were more careful and thoughtful before you did things then perhaps you'd avoid bad results. I'm not the least bit surprised the dealer is suing you over your silly campaign against them, I'd sue you too if I was them.

Regards,
Andrew.

 

I hope you escrowed your $30K PROFIT to cover future legal fees. Good luck getting this genie back into the lantern!!
