Pink Ferrari for the wife?

This car will be a resale nightmare. Most men would not want to be caught dead in a car like this. If you are concerned about resale, think red. Otherwise, I think the car does look pretty cool and would definitely suit your wife provided she loves pink. Also, you would never be accused of buying the car for yourself .

 

Buy a white one and wrap it in pink.

 

Perfect idea.

 

what a car man!
perfect for a lady.

 

There is a pink Porsche Cayenne running around Toledo ... just too much. I would also suggest wrapping a white car, white can be resold once the wrap is pulled off.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume this one for sale is already wrapped.

Sounds like the perfect gift for any wife, good excuse to go to car shows as a duo of cars.

 

The horror, the horror.

 

does your wife look like Barbie? She might be able to pull it off!

 

If it pleases you and your soulmate....

But what is wrong the wrap idea?

 

Convince her that red is just "really dark pink"

Wrap is the much cheaper way to go if you plan to resell down the line..
Wonder who was the prior owner of this car???

 

Since you're asking... My wife would shoot me if I brought this home for her - but that's her. Like others have suggested: buy one in a normal color and have it wrapped. Probably black or white so it wouldn't look too weird with the hood/trunk/doors opened. (unless they wrap those also.)

my 2 cents on the topic.

You know what I would do - I would do whatever you want to. A Ferrari is such a personalized purchase from stupidly priced CF pieces to rims and color.

Have you seen the sticker with options listed? If that is not wrap then someone paid a gazillion for the off production color. But I think it is wrap as the driver side vents are black but the passenger side is pink.

Going down this rabbit hole I would not buy a car with wrap, who knows what is hiding under there. But, if it is off production color then at $169K you are getting a great deal.

Did I confuse you enough

 

I hope your wife actually loves pink and does not think you are being condescending by buying a "girl's colour."

Seen a few pink cars--Lambo, Rolls, Bentley, S-class Benz, Lexus, etc. They were all revolting.

 

I agree. As mtarvydas notes, the driver side vents are black, but the passenger side vents are pink???

If this car were painted pink, and your wife truly likes the color, I would think that it would be possible to negotiate a significant discount now, so that there is less downside for a resale hit later.

 

Best and most appropriate color I have ever seen on a Cali!

<just stirring up trouble....>

 

That would be the perfect Ferrari for Paris Hilton

 

A REALLY, REALLY successful Mary Kay saleswoman....

 

Hers is red.

Assume so as well. Options list say it has shields, none visible. Wonder if they wrapped over them?

 

You are right. But when she had birthday (2 or 3 years ago) her wish was to have a pink Ferrari.

 

Then it really doesn't matter what the rest think...

You will be murdered on resale. Only buy this if you are willing to lose the entire purchase price.

 

That changes everything. You can always do a repaint before you sell.

One of my old philosopher friends once told me, "Listen to your wife, and you will be a happy man." Enjoy.
