    2008 Ferrari 599 #159038 is finished in Nero Daytona (metallic black) with Nero (black) leather and yellow stitching. 12,250 miles offered at $162,000

    Current owner purchased the vehicle from Scottsdale Ferrari in November 2015. Scottsdale Ferrari purchased this 599 from the Wynn Ferrari dealership (as they were closing doors). While for sale at Wynn @ 9,500 miles the car received $12,000 in service including: (4 new tires, TMPS battery replacement, Repair of power steering leak, Full fluids change, Sticky buttons refinished).

    Clean CarFax and what appears to be original paint (although we can't be certain). No dings or excessive wear.

    Photos below were taken June 2016 and are current photos. I am a dealer (helping) sell this for a long-time customer who is upgrading. It is possible for the paperwork to be "private party" if that helps with taxes in your state. This vehicle is located in Scottsdale, Arizona.

    Current needs for this car include:
    1) refinish the front bumper (see photo - area circled in red shows a scrape that caused some paint cracking surrounding scrape. The bumper itself is fine, just cracked paint),
    2) two noticeable rock chips on the bottom edge of the hood (just where the clear bra stopped)
    3) minimal wear to driver's seat bolster (normal for Ferraris)
    4) some leather shrinkage on the dash (around AC vents)

    Beautiful 599 that has been driven but well taken care of with 12,250 miles. Includes books tools, radio & key codes, two keys and everything (car related, lol!) pictured.

    Call Allen with any questions 602-363-5616. $162,000 OBO

    I've been given an offer at $155,000 as-is - we're leaning toward taking this offer.

    If anyone is considering this car, please let me know ASAP.

    What causes a clutch to be 90% gone at just 12K miles on the car? Too much low-speed 'creeping' or too many "launch control" type starts? If this is more appropriate in the 599 forum I can move the question there. Reason I ask is this is what scares me off 599's coming from a Porsche 991S.....

    I think the clutch has 89,9% rest of life.

    PPI completed Friday 10/7 and clutch wear comes back at 31% wear.

    I guess that's a reminder to all of us how imperfect the system is that reads wear, lol!

    PPI completed successfully and vehicle is now sold.

    Soooo sleek looking in black! Regarding the clutch, if it's pulling smoothly/shifting properly, better to drive it a while longer. As one post mentioned, I would wonder why it is down to 31%, with only 12,000 miles on it. Wonder if Ferrari has had problems with premature wear on the clutches on this model?

    My "wear percentage" was 28% when I sold my 599. It had 25k miles on it. I wouldnt be too concerned with clutch wear on a car with 12k miles.
