    It looks great in Bianco. Personally I avoid the red and yellow cars as I am trying to be more stealth and under the radar. It is beautiful in the red though. So to each his own. I got two people who complimented me “nice Maserati” sine I bought it which suits me fine. Trying to keep my drivers license while having one of these is really difficult.

    That car also suffered a light rear-end collision.

    I was lucky enough to happen upon my high spec blu america car — I was only looking for blue to match my Pozzi FF. I jumped quickly after verifying that she was good to go.

    amazing spec car. You hit the jackpot on that beautiful machine

    my must have items were the full electric seats. Cameras. LED on steering wheel. Grey or silver color. Cruise control. Sat radio and JBL sound. Electric steering column. Passenger display (although somewhat useless - I find the passengers looking for a grab handle more than a display) and a car with PPF from new with no stone chips. The only thing I missed out on my car was the black wheels I don’t like too much. But it did come with some other things I like a lot. Additional leather, thick stitching on the dash and steering wheel

    one thing to warn protective buyers about is the sticky buttons issue. I did not do a in person inspection on mine and the dash vent grill was very bad. (Probably from a long day in the sun). Thanks to StickyRx that problem is now better than new. Still annoying but part of owning Ang

    I love it in blue. Striking. One of the car guys videos is of a blue one I love the blue. You don’t see too many in blue. Must have been an expensive paint option. I think it strikes the perfect balance of sporty without being too flashy like a red one

    Good eyes. I just went back and looked at the carfax on that car and noted the 360 report that a previous dealer had done indicating front hood, and front and rear bumpers being redone. That is a comfort to me because I was concerned about how long that car has been on the market. I feel sorry for the dealer who is stuck with it but they are going to have to lower the price down if they want to move it. Obviously F12 buyers as a whole are very car savvy

    That car is a real mess. Why don’t they just lower the price or send it to auction? They have already lost a lot of money especially if that vehicle is part of their floor plan financing. It makes the f12 market seem like a 2017 with low miles can’t sell. Which is not good. I feel sorry for anyone who buys that car who does not catch the paint work.

    Simply beautiful car. Personally, I like the look of your interior and I’m not a huge affect to carbon fiber. It seems like the carbon fiber interior bits are a huge money maker for Ferrari but don’t add anything to the functionality of the car. Love the Daytona seats in the color.

    What do you all think about the naples car in RM either a two tone grey black interior. Price seems high but maybe some room to move?

    Not priced bad just a big MSRP 64% of MSRP at current price…….will need the right buyer. Love the interior just doesn’t suit the exterior

    I personally don't like it. Very individualized spec. If you like two-tone interiors and want a neutral metallic exterior, maybe the $390k MSRP Cauley car. Great dealer, and I think F12 looks fantastic in Nero Daytona.

    Here are the pictures of my new F12 B. It features a carbon fiber interior, which is a nice bonus. I'm impressed by how civilized this car drives and how CRAZY it can be, depending on the mood. Although I've never been a fan of black cars, the Nero Daytona won me over in person. The copper and gold metallic sheen highlights the curves beautifully in the sunlight. I'm surprised by the attention the car receives at local meets. Overall, it’s a fantastic vehicle that has exceeded my expectations, so I decided to give the 911 to my wife. =)

    ps. This car came with full PPF, full-body skid plate, and 2-year CPO all for $275k.

    Congrats! You bought my F12! It was a great car and I put a lot into it! Here is a video of it being detailed and getting the PPF installed. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

    Maximus, this is crazy cool. It is an amazing car and gets comments that it stands out from other F12s (all are red) in Texas. You did a hell of a nice job on the car! My only question is what kind of car detail maintenance is recommended to keep the pff/ceramic coat at its best?

    Also, the video production is top-notch. Is it okay to share with friends?

    Cheers,
    Paul M

    Yeah definitely. My detailer put the video up on YouTube for public view. I would make sure you wash with pH neutral soap like Adams car wash. Shouldn't need any toppers for a long time.

    When I owned it I had the Kline exhaust installed but I would imagine the Lamborghini dealer I traded it into put the stock exhaust back on. I spent over $20K on service bringing everything up to date and had all the sticky buttons fixed as well. You also have the upgraded 6 rib alternator installed so you don't have to worry about throwing the belt, that cost about $6500. You should have plenty of trouble free miles!

    The only items I ran out of time to change were the black titanium lug nuts and the scuderia audio system upgrade. I never liked the chrome lug nuts on the wheels. If you're interested I have them listed for sale in the forum classifieds or you can PM me.

    Yeah. Something more going on with this car than just superficial damage. This would have been the perfect car for Ferrari Ft. Lauderdale to CPO (or any F dealer for that matter) and they obviously won't touch it. Title moving thru NJ, then back to Ohio is suspicious. As is moving around everywhere. Trying to wash the title?

    A buddy of mine had an M3 that he whacked so hard into a curb that the left front suspension collapsed. $15K later (this was back in 2012), the car was back on the road. The insurance (state F I think) paid the repairs and those were done in an "approved collision center". A year later he traded it in for a new M3. Trade was about the cost of the repair. Damage never made it onto Carfax... Insurance should have totaled that car.
