It's actually a group of four flats in Toorak. They were built about 20 years ago in Lascelles avenue. After 8 years, the body corporate fees exceeded the value of the car in front of it. The owner of one flat sold up and did the only sensible thing. Moved to the beach and bought a 308 GTS.
I find it SO SAD so many Ferrari cars be it 12-cylinder or Dinos have gone overseas -never to return and so many of those owners have left the Ferrari car movement /or are too old now. Perhaps if these owners and cars were still around Issues would be different with there steady hand .
Bah, big fkn deal. They’re world cars and a commodity. The world changes and nothing stays the same forever. The “old guard” are no longer the target audience for Ferrari and that’s just the way it is. I for one am glad I could sell the GTC/4 to an overseas buyer, got great money for it, whereas here I just had dickhead brokers ****ing me around. They’re just cars, been there, done that
If you have a quality car or car that will sell on the world market -NO need for a broker IMO. I'd rather sell myself than have a broker take on some % that could ruin the deal. Like when I sold my 1st Flying Spur S3-via a broker to Adrain Hamilton (RIP) they lied to him about the condition of the car, and asked me for an invoice which I later found out was for a GST credit -Just ****ing crooks.

Technically they're not trading.... Not that I agree/like them, but the world is filled with bullsh*t jobs... Can anybody say HR department, SHEQ advisers? Strange people don't like car brokers but finance brokers are fine.... Bottom feeders the whole lot of them. it's the way of the world though. People don't want to do an honest job or one that requires education or skill.. Passive income and rent seekers are the order of the day. /curmudgeon_mode=off
Although I've never used one, I actually think a lot of people could do a lot worse than use an independent fee-only financial adviser, especially as they start building up a decent stack.
To be fair, I have (and technically still do) used a finance broker for real estate. There is absolutely no doubt that she was able to arrange things for me that I would have had no hope at all of doing. A car broker though? LOL. Only reason I can see for doing that is if you're so lazy / rich you can't be bothered doing it yourself.
Of course I'll never listen to a financial adviser. The first thing I'd be told would be to liquidate my irrational love for red Italian sports cars and buy something a bit more financially prudent. Who can afford financial advisers when one is saving up for a belt change anyway.
Lovely, they look nice! Incredible to hear about the body corp fees. In 10 years time, we will all be eating out of the bin because it will cost to much to "live"
Anyone on here? https://www.drive.com.au/news/ferrari-driver-clocked-76km-over-limit/?utm_campaign=syndication&utm_source=smh.com.au&utm_content=article_2&utm_medium=partner
I reckon he will need a chauffeur for the next 12 months after he picks up the car... I'm curious also if he is on here
