    I am looking for a FF for the wife. We have a kid on the way and want something that holds a baby seat. It must have the pano roof and no Daytona seats. Not looking for a super low mile car as we will be driving this a lot hopefully. Let me know what you have or know of. I check all the classifieds so if you send me something from that chances are I have seen it. Thanks

    You have a lucky wife! Why no Daytona seats, though? Those are my dream seats in a Ferrari

    Depends, is she fit? I'd expect blonde, under 30, low miles and a pretty face to swap for an FF, it's a nice car......... ooooohhhh, that's not what you meant :)

    Yes she is extremely qualified. No Daytona seats because they don't "feel" the best I am told by women in skirts. Also I think the quilted seats look better in that car.

    You may be right, the quilted ones are classier, and more suited to a GT.

    One thing to be mindful of. Baby seats need for be rear facing up to age two by law in many states (all...?). Most seats won't fit rear facing in the FF (I tried!!).

    There's a new white '16 with the options you're looking for at Ferrari South Bay.

    Phishgoldy. Thanks that's a good observation. I am in Texas and this is my first child so the baby seat rules and regs will be checked. Maybe my wife will have to ride in the back, or me!

    In California, baby seats aren't allowed in the front and for very young babies need to face backward. In short they have to fit backward in the rear seat. Since it will be your wife's car, why not remove the passenger seat till later? <grin>

    What? Removing the passenger seat is not a viable option but I like the out of box thinking.

    I had two kids baby seats in the back of my Maserati. Check the Recaro baby seats, they were the Narrowest of the kids seats. The Chicco Keyfit 30 also has the narrowest base of all the infant carriers. They seat is only good up to 35-30 lbs but that should get you passed the first year.

    Get a thinner wife so the seat can go further forward? Hehehe

    We have a rear facing baby seat (maxi cosi) and it fits in the GTC (Bentley) with the seat forward too much for me, but enough go for Er indoors to use

    (Meanwhile when we were kids our parents stuffed us in the back of a station wagon, rear-facing, with no seat belts, facing certain death in the event of a rear ending... go figure).

    And don't forget, with the tailgate window down, too, if the car didn't have A/C (so that all the carbon monoxide from the exhaust would be venting into the back). :)

    Ferrari Scottsdale has a 12 with 5k miles for $176k. Been following the FF market for awhile for the same reason hoping to have a kid in the future and would be a fun car the family can enjoy. GL

    Sorry one last comment on this. Ferrari NA had a good lease deal on the FF's and are now stuck with a lot of inventory. To help them out dealers are taking some into their own inventory and they have what I believe to be some wiggle room on pricing. My dealer, Miller Motorcars in CT, seems to always have 3-5 in stock (really nice ones) and they sell one every couple of weeks. Try a guy there named Nick Unnold and he can find you a car no problem. Always takes care of me and my friends in the NY/CT area!! Hope it helps. Love the FF. Enjoy it.

    Kind of have to agree - 360 or Gallardo seem about the proper size for yellow IMO.
