What would you guys pay for this close to new F12?

I am always baffled by such offers... Why would somebody pull the trigger on a MSRP ~400KUSD car to drive it only 300 miles, then sell it for a 100KUSD less... where is the catch? Either you are a flipper/investor, focusing on LE cars with a potential for gains, or you are a F-car fanatic and you buy the car to use it. Maybe not use it a lot, but more than 150 miles per year... In this case it looks to me that the previous owner chose the worst of both worlds. High depreciation and no usage whatsoever. If it were me, I would need to have a very convincing story about the previous owner and his decision process to gain enough trust in this purchase. Nonetheless, it does look like an absolutely pristine car, so I see the appeal.

 

TheF12 that is being auctioned off warranty has been suspended. Most likely it was never activated by the dealership who sold the car in the first place. It will expire soon and is usually a pretty easy fix but the original selling dealer would have to submit corrected paperwork to the factory to get the warranty in good standing or for warranty claims to be to be honored. If that can be corrected the factory warranty would good through

There are a lot of F12's available now and I think you would be better off purchasing one with a few more miles, more options and save the money on the purchase price. You may be able to find one with factory warranty left, one with an extended bumper to bumper warranty or purchase a certified pre-owned example and get 2 years of New Power Warranty. A ton of F12's were made and I do not see ultra-low mileage F12's being sought after down the road. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

 

I looked at this car too. The estimated auction price of over $300k is not something I can afford so I didn't follow through. My guess is this car goes for $275k-$285k.

 

Looks fairly light on options too.

 

The F12 is a standard production car, not a numbered collectible rare Ferrari.
As such, you should buy an F12 with the intent of enjoying the car, and driving the car.
I think you will be best served by purchasing a car with more "normal" miles on it (~2000-4000/year), and one that has been correctly maintained.
You will pay less and likely have a well-sorted car to enjoy for years.

Best feedback you can get right here...

 

last week an 1,170 mile 2017 f12 went for $230K and the Pennsylvania manheim auction fwiw.

 

Very wisely said!

They are crazy. it won't fetch that kind of price.

You could get an 812 for not significantly more
