    Trust me, if I were in the market, Tim's 360 would be my first choice. I'm just not sure I could provide 120K worth of details.:D

    Better tell your last call to the dealer, wondering how they are gonna respond!

    You might get a deal easily!

    thats a great looking car. didn't think I wanted a spyder. But that is tempting...

    I assume that a leather repair guy could turn the piping black?

    That as a very easy change. If you live in Los Angeles, Fernando is generally consideed the best leather guy (look him up on fchat). Buy the car, and I'll have Fernando change the piping to any color of preference. Hot pink?

    Thats a sweet car and a smoking, smoking deal. Its a reflection of the economy but 6 months ago, that car would be worth $20K more in my very humble opinion. Good luck with the sale.

    Several wholesalers have contacted me about a possible purchase. I am not interested in selling to a wholesaler (do NOT contact me). Instead, I would rather sell to a private party at a wholesale price. Some folks are confusing my "motivation" for "desperation". Rest assured, I hardly qualify as desperate, considering that I am in escrow on a new 7400 foot house, and awaiting delivery of a new F430 Spider. Bottom line...the new home does not have sufficient garage space, and I prefer to wholesale the car to a loving new home.

    Many buyers want Ferraris that are all original, except perhaps for a Tubi/Capristo, without the previous owner's "add-ons".

    While the car may be well maitained, maintanence that has not been performed by an authorized Ferrari dealer is a deal killer for many potential buyers, especially since the car is out of warranty.

    Additionally, the car has very high mileage and there are many other fine, Ferrari dealer serviced, very low mileage cars available to choose from at similar pricing. This car is not a classic or investment potential Ferrari ( I've learned from experience) and as such, the market will determine its current value. Good luck with the sale.

    If someone does not like the "add-ons", they should not buy the car...it's that simple! Personal preference is what makes the world go round.

    I think that you need to read my original description. The car has ONLY been serviced at the authorized Ferrari dealer - Auto Gallery (also, they installed the carbon and the Tubi). I have all records since day one. The Auto Gallery will happily validate the quality of my car, and will confirm that it is among the best maintained cars that they service. The cars been driven 3000 miles per year. Should I discount the price an additional $50,000 to compensate for the "very high mileage"?

    I would never suggest that the car is a classic or an an investment. But, it is one heck of a lot of fun to drive and show!!!

    Sorry, but this isn't a 'very' high mile car. An excellent price for this beautiful car!

    You state that there are many dealer serviced, very low mileage cars available with similar pricing. Please feel free to show us several examples.

    $130,000 is a wholesale price. I would start at a higher price if me. But, if you want to sell quickly.....

    I can't imagine that anyone in the market for a spider wouldn't have this car atop the list. Great example and a real steal at this price. Somebody grab this thing in a NY minute so I don't have time to think about it.

    I would rather wholesale to a good home, as opposed to a greedy dealer.

    Dealers need to make a living too. Your comment is like saying everyone in sales is "greedy"

    This appears to be a wonderful example of a 360 Spider and priced right.

    Good luck with the sale.

    if I were a droptop man I would probably write the check.

    You will find that most people are time wasters when it comes to purchasing, Lots of talk/excuses, but few will open up the proverbial check book. With the high mileage and the aftermarket parts and lowering of the car, many Ferrari enthusiasts will pass. As the car becomes more "personalized" by its owner, less buyer interest is generated.
    In any event, it only takes one person to want the car and its gone. After all is said & done the value of the car is what somebody finally pays you for it. Sadly my black, fully loaded, beyond perfect 360 Spider with much of its interior and covers/tool kit still sealed in delivery plastic with a day old belt service at Ferrari and 3900 miles was worth $110k. Dealer sold it next day for a reported $149,900.
