FerrariChat has been a trusted environment for buying and selling cars for over 17 years. Our auction service is designed to make it even easier for owners to sell their cars at market prices and for buyers to get a fair deal. We also provide support for sellers to ensure they properly present their vehicle for auction, and we reserve the right to approve or deny all auctions.
