    Ok, so my new to me 2021 F8 with 3500 miles and full car PPF has been picked up today with expected delivery on Saturday… can’t wait!! Anyway, I knew I did well on the price compared to what I’ve been browsing for past year+ but I wasn’t too focused on that as this car was the color combo and spec I’ve been looking for (97%) BUT after browsing internet, now I think I did GREAT, not just good.. … I mean, I just looked all online out of curiosity and it seems I got the lowest price by a mile- every comparably equipped or much less equipped/spec’ed one I see is 25-65k higher than what I paid for mine!! I mean this is great but it seems so drastic that now I’m curious as to why… it’s a one owner, clean and certified car….

    here’s my build sheet and sticker… is it missing something or some option that I’ve overlooked that’s like a huge selling factor or something??? Any ideas or did I just get lucky? (For once lol)

    It was a consignment car so maybe I just got lucky that seller agreed and dealer didn’t really care like they would a car they owned?

    Congrats for your new car
    Regarding price, I suspect the market has been softening in the past few months and this is not yet reflected in most advertised asked prices.

    Since it was a consignment car, more than likely the seller's next Ferrari was in so he had to sell the car since time was running out for them. Always a good situation for the buyer to have a motivated seller and remember the dealership prob get 7-8% for the sale anyway.

    Congrats the spec is on the low side, mine came in around $390,000 but who cares you have an F8! They are incredible cars!

    Spec looks pretty good to me. Congrats and be prepared to be blown away by the awesomeness of this incredible machine.

    PS - Carbon really inflates the price. You've got just enough.

    ya, apparently he has two Ferraris on the way in (Roma and SF90)-- according to salesperson, he was very reluctant to accept the price I got it for (actually upset to be more accurate) and the week before I called about the car, he had told them to just give him his car back if it was gonna be that low cos it was there for 3-4 months and the dealer kept dropping price and convincing him he had to keep coming down......my final price is 60k less than the original asking price he started at.-- I'm REALLY hoping I just got lucky and timing was right and that come this Saturday, when it arrives, I don't find out WHY it sold for this price :(.... like some 'reason' for it cosmetically or something- I'm in an odd state of fear, panic, confusion and total excitement all at once lol--

    yours is a coupe and was 390?? WOW that seems really big-- the only things I see 'missing' on mine are some more exterior carbon options and engine bay surrounds in carbon.... A/C vents and door handles in carbon also.... that's why I posted this cos I just don't see what big options I'm missing-- it even has passenger display and carbon race seats and lots of other carbon... and its certified (I bought the 2 yr extension of course also)

    As others have already mentioned, of the more commonly specced options, looks like you're just missing the external carbon fiber, engine bay, and Apple CarPlay. The carbon fiber options add up quickly.

    CEXF CARBON FIBER HEADLIGHT BUCKET
    CEAI BONNET S-DUCT IN CARBON FIBRE
    CEXG FRONT SIDE SPOILERS CARBON FIB
    FCWS FRONT BUMPER INSERT CARBON FIB
    CEXS CARBON FIBRE UNDERDOOR COVER
    CEXD REAR DIFFUSER IN CARBON FIBRE
    CERB CARBON FIBRE REAR BOOT TRIM
    CEL2 ENGINE COVERS IN CARBON FIBRE
    ACPL APPLE CARPLAY

    None of the above is necessary to enjoy your car to the fullest. Congratulations!

    I went to grab that car because of the great price and it was gone. Nothing wrong with it at all. It is wrapped too, so that is another 10k. bonus on top of a great car at a great price.

    External carbon on Nero is kinda pointless because you can't even notice the carbon unless you're looking at it closely. Even on my Grigio Silverstone you can barely distinguish the exterior carbon.

    Ah that makes me feel so good! I haven’t seen it and have been worried about it’s condition being perfect. Did you see it in person?

    I did see it in person. The wrap was 90% perfect, a little lifting on the hood, but not bad, full car wrap which again is a 10k bonus at least! Car was perfect, i should have bought it but nero is not what my heart desires even if this is the best deal on this car so far! I guess as it was on consignment the owner was a very reasonable person, i know he is a repeat client. Basically 50k over msrp which is very very fair. Good luck with it, you will be very happy.

    Love the info man! Thank you! I’ll redo the hood PPF if need be. Nero was my ONLY color for Ferraris so it worked out perfect for me. Apparently the owner originally had it for 439k when he first gave it to them but over 3-4 months, dealer kept convincing him to come down. Owner was actually right on the edge of taking it back instead of selling for near the number I got… I’m still in disbelief that I actually got a good deal— my life history is to pay more than everyone always and sell for less than everyone with anything I buy, whether it’s food or Ferraris lol[emoji28][emoji28] - sad, but true story. ‍♂️ Maybe I’ll finally stop my buy high, sell low rhythm I’ve maintained for so long. Thanks again man. If there’s anything else you think of about the car, lemme know. It should be here Saturday

    you are going to be happy. Wide World is my dealer, a true class act representing Ferrari for as long as i can remember. They would not disappoint. you can rest easy this car was well bought. i hope i get as lucky. I have offered that number on similar spec cars with no success.
