    Good looking car. Nice color, TDF works well on the F12. Doesn't seem like it has too many options if that matters to you or not. The only thing I don't like is the header in tan. That is purely a personal preference thing. I haven't done research on pre owned prices but at a first look this price seems about what I'd expect a dealer to be asking for an earlier car with low miles and low options. Seems like you are within striking distance of making a nice deal!

    Pretty standard on the interior. It does have the CF wheel and LED's...an important option imho. Seems like a bangin' deal with only 2100 miles...the exterior color is great and great caliper color.

    What's not to like?

    I have tan aka beige on my 458 spider and it shows dirt easily. You have to keep after it. May not be as bad in a coupe.

    For $288k it's pretty good considering the mileage as well. Just make sure no major stories behind it otherwise it's a good deal! Good Luck.

    Considering my new F12 currently inbound will sticker at nearly $500k ( gulp), looks like a great deal. I had TDF on my Maranello. Very pretty color. Good luck. Looks very nice.

    Just be careful with Goldcoast. I have heard a lot about them and most of the people that have spoken about their experiences with them have been less than happy. Proceed with caution. Good luck.

    Hate to say this without real proof, but something bothers me about them.

    Not in love with the build, pretty generic overall.

    Good luck !

    It's a 2013 so get a quote on an extended warranty otherwise despite the low mileage any repairs after this year will be your problem not the dealers.....and get the car inspected by someone other than the dealer. Also, the carpet on the drivers side right where the seat moves back and fwd appears to be stained? Or that just the lighting?

    Agreed ^

    It is stunning, although check out the dealer and hence PPI maybe more needed than usual.

    As others have stated tread carefully with this dealer. I had one buddy who was unable to get a title from them for 3 months after he bought a Range Rover which also had major mechanical issues. They changed owners a couple of years ago but the main sales guys are the same. Another buddy of mine just received 4k he was owed on an incorrect trade in amount after 9 months of badgering. Prices are always better than other dealers but you pay in other ways.

    Do a search of Luxury motors in the Chicago section if you want more examples.

    The rosso berlinetta f12 in new England is a better choice

    My initial reaction was, "An F12 under 300K? Grab it." But apparently they are starting to drop below that level so perhaps it's not as a great a deal as I thought. One thing I will say, is that regardless of options, the F12 is an absolute animal! You will love it!

    The prices do seem to be dropping and the F12 is a great car. But you might as well try to get a car with a few more options . if you can..

    I now have first hand experience to confirm previous posts about the credibility of GC Bentley. Submitted order and paid 100 percent of purchase amount. In time between order and shipping they sold car to another buyer.

    Food for thought.
