ANYONE THAT WANTS TO BUY OR SELL A FERRARI THE RIGHT WAY

Did you see all the negative comments here from unhappy customers who did business with Mike at Yellow Compass?

Me neither.

 

Do you only sell Ferrari's or other makes too?

 

Mike is the man, when i first started looking for a 360 he gave me advice and when i found the one i liked he gave me many tips on what to look for and what a good price would be- I'd like to point out i wasn't even buying a car from him, so he made zero $$ off me but still spent his time giving me advice. Thats a true enthusiast

 

I want to buy not sell lol

 

Third time buyer of ferrari, 1st time with Mike. Car was as described, even had someone meet me at shop on a sunday morning to pickup car.
Thanks Mike

 

After years of wanting one I finally bought a 430 Scud this weekend!

Although Mike didn’t find me the car, or make a dime off of the deal, he made the whole thing possible. Not only did he help me figure out what the right deal was and gave me a ton of info about Scuds to help me make sure this was the right one, but he also made introductions to people who were able to help me get the actual deal done. He even got a Ferrari master tech to talk me through some of the potential issues with one of the cars I was thinking about.

He also was able to find me several great examples but unfortunately my color requirements meant my search was very restricted. I have to say that he presented some amazing cars and if I wasn’t 100% focused on a white one I would have seriously considered them.

If you are buying a Ferrari you definitely want to talk to Mike. He’s got a great reputation for a reason and I will absolutely work with him again in the future.

Thanks for everything Mike!

 

I have been a lurker for quite some time here on FChat as I haven't had much to add to any discussions until now.
I started my search for a 458 Spider by talking to Mike and learning about these great cars from a person who is passionate and a true enthusiast to the brand.
I unfortunately found a car at another dealer, as I wished I could have purchased one from Mike.
Mike walks the walk and talks the talk. He has become a true friend and I hope to purchase my next car from my buddy Mike.

Hey Mike, if you ever make it to the Seattle area, call me so I can treat you to a great steak dinner on me!!

 

Congrats on getting the Scuderia! This is a Ferrari that is on the top of my list to get. All the best to you and enjoy that monster!

Thanks! Still waiting to receive it but put 100 miles on it in Chicago where I purchased it and it was an absolute blast!

 

Being a first time Ferrari 458 owner I feel a need to share this. Mike I can't thank you enough for all of your help and guidance in seeing that I purchased a car that made all my dreams come true. Just so everyone knows even though Mike did not find the car that I ultimately ended up buying he couldn't have been more helpful and instrumental in ensuring that I was making the right decision. So much so that I didn't hesitate to send him some monies to show my appreciation for all of the hours spent online or on the phone making sure I wouldn't make a mistake. A true friend looking out for my best interests the entire way!!! This should be a message to those that pick his brain and buy elsewhere so that he isn't taken for granted. His help was truly invaluable and I hope him and I can be friends for life.

 

I know some people rant and rave about Mikes ads with ALL CAPS, but I will say this; if I "like" an add he has, he immediately sends a PM with "Thanks". This isn't just once, or twice....each and every time I click like on one of his cars for sale, I get a PM. Even though it only say one word, thanks, it speaks volumes of the kind of person he is.

 

Not really, he tries to just have catchy titles which is great marketing in my opinion. He also tries to make it fun which is what it’s all about. I don’t take every word in his titles literally because he tries to make it fun or funny. I would do the same thing if I was him. I give you a lot of credit Mike for trying to be creative and not boring. Most of the dealers out there are as exciting as watching paint dry in regards to their ads. Now if he or anyone else treats you poorly like a sleezy salesperson that’s on them. I haven’t heard anyone here say that about him. He Has been a nice guy with the interactions I have had with him. Others here know I generally hate car salesmen because most of them are bad. But I don’t think every car salesman is bad. Most are but not everyone. For example I love Cats Exotics where I bought my car from. They didn’t play a bunch of the typical games. They have too much class for that. I’d give Mike a chance personally until he or anyone else proves otherwise to not be upstanding.

 

I Just wrapped up a deal with Mike's help. I have been seeing his emails and posts coming across my inbox and here on F-chat for quite some time. I had decided to move my F430 already at the end of summer 2018, but never had the time ... April 2019 I purchased a 488 with the intention of replacing the F430, and just did not have the time again (wife, kids, work, volunteer work, friends, and some cliche ongoing never ending car projects, lol ) Come June, I decided to respond to one of Mike's emails, and we went over my car, what came with it, condition, etc.... , and most importantly what I needed in my pocket out of it. We agreed on a commission fee, and that was it on a handshake.... fast forward around 2 weeks and Mike had a buyer. I did not have to deal with tire kickers, or the hassles of answering phone calls, emails etc ( i juts do not have the time) Mike took care of all of that. The buyer turned out to be a really good guy who also has same love for cars as I do, and I am glad the F430 is off to a new home.

Mike is definitely a colorful character and I will admit I was skeptical at first, but he delivered EXACTLY what he committed. I would not hesitate to contact Mike again when selling another Rarri for sure !

You want this guy on your team! I can't say enough good things about Mike. He is the master of making deals work out. I only wish I met him earlier in my year-long search for a Ferrari F12. He got me the car I wanted and facilitated every minute aspect of the deal. I would not go with anyone else to buy or sell my next Ferrari. Thanks again Mike!

 

Can’t say enough good about Mike. I did not end up with a Rari but that shows exactly how good and noble this guy is. Got in touch with Mike initially for a 458 and he guided me through step by step, analyzing what’s good options, price, etc with a ton of patience. Long story short I changed my mind which means no more commission for him but he continued to focus on my happiness and introduced his powerful network which led me to what I want without overpaying. Most importantly this guy still checked in with me regularly to make sure things go fine! His work ethic and efficiency puts every dealership in shame.

Thank you again Mike and trust me one phone call with him solves your car shopping problems!

I’d like to share my experience with Mike. I called him up a couple of weeks ago for the first time based on his reputation on Fchat. I have a Blue Corsa 488 Spider and I was looking to pair that with a Rosso 70 Anni 812 with black seats/red stitching loaded with interior carbon.

Firstly, Mike is a stand-up, all around great guy. He is true to his word, loves Ferrari’s, and is genuinely focused on making sure the buyer and seller are thrilled with the outcome. He is anxiously waiting for you to have a huge grin on your face when the car comes off the truck, nearly as much as you are. He works really hard and has unique connections. I wasn’t able to find the spec I wanted online or in the Fchat classifieds- he found me two viable options within days. 2 weeks later my car has arrived and it’s as beautiful as I had been hoping for.

I will be buying all my Ferrari’s (and likely other brands) from Mike. I implore you to do the same.

 

Hi from a first-time Ferrari owner!

Not only is my Ferrari a dream, a stunner, everything I had hoped for, but the buying experience itself was a blast. Mike approaches the whole enterprise with honesty, gusto and humor. Does he ever sleep?

I'm an introvert; Mike not only taught me a lot about Ferraris but he has introduced me to a bunch of owners. And the car itself was everything promised and more, plus at an excellent price. I have always been a British car nut. I am now also a wildly enthusiastic Alfa and, thanks to Mike, Ferrari owner.

I cannot recommend this wild man enough. Always check in with Mike before you consider buying or selling! More important than finding the cars he does, Mike is a man of integrity who has quickly become a friend.

 

I had the pleasure of talking with Mike a few years back. I was on the fence about buying an F430 because well, i don't have a lot of money and i was afraid to buy something without a warranty. He did not pressure me at all and we talked for hours. I ended up buying a starter Ferrari; a Maserati Granturismo. I have since added a porsche 911 to the garage. Both cars are great but I still want that horse!! I am currently trying to sell the GT and will contact Mike as soon as it is gone! It has been been almost 3 years since we talked but his passion left a great impression on me. We'll talk soon Mike!! Erick -from Sacramento.

 

Hello all,

I was fortunate enough to find Mike through this wonderful forum. Be advised, he is a nut! No doubt he will make you laugh. I used Mike to sell my Ferrari
after the dealer made me a ridiculous trade in offer. When you talk to Mike you will soon learn he is very knowledgeable about the Ferrari marque, and maybe
more importantly, the car business. If you plan to buy or sell any type of high end car you should really just call him and tell him your needs. It will be well worth
your time. No pressure, no games, you stay in total control. Bottom line, he is a great guy, and can help you buy or sell in a much more civilized way than you may have experienced in the past.

Thanks Mike you rock!
