    I hear you and am walking away but this has more to do with the price. If the price was $1 then yes think about it. If it was $1k, $10k, $35k, etc. So, as they say, there is a price for everything. $190k? No way. $170k No way. $95k? Maybe.

    I don’t even know if I buy the price thing. We are talking about a Ferrari here aka an unnecessary toy that we all enjoy and want to be safe and fun. Of all the Ferraris in the world you are going to buy one that has had a triple digit repair bill? I wouldn’t, ever, at any price. Including $1.

    there was a huge thread on a 2015 f12 that was rear ended in parking lot by another ferrari.
    You need to look at repair details rather than the amount. A parked f12 was rear ended in a parking lot by a valet at 5mph. A simple bumper replacement costs 80k. No frame damage. No bodywork. would you run away from that too?

    i disagree ,if its repaired properly and the car is disclosed as having a repair and below market value then its good that there put back into use , how many cars are there out there that are repaired by insurance companies of all makes and sometimes not done very well are out there not on the register ? most of the time its about cost of repair more than it being a bad car .

    you think $100k to $120k is a fair offer on this car?

    I doubt he'll sell it for that but go ahead and try.
    With that 20 hour frame repair I would just steer clear. Bent frames lead to all kinds of problems down the road. If it was minor accident I would consider it with a 20% discount.

    WHY? Who cares what it costs, get a car with NO story and move on. I don't understand the -- but, but, but the price is SO cheap mentality.

    you probably don't understand cos your filthy rich. or maybe you are risk adverse. i like the idea of taking a calculated risk here. if the risk matches the reward its a good bet. doesn't mean it will work out. just means you made a decent bet.

    If you offered him 100k then he probably didn't respond to you because he felt it was an insult. Good luck though

    I would think AhsanU is correct he probably looked at your offer as a throw away bid and didn't bother with it. To me the number on this car is between 130-140k although I would never pay that for a car with major damage or for that matter any F12 that has been in an accident just not worth it ,after all look at the beautiful white F12 a fellow Chatter just bot it was advertised for 172k,not sure what he actually paid but it appears he bot a great car for a super price.

    Think about your exit, you will find it exceedingly difficult to sell such a car unless you plan on keeping it forever.

    I would only consider if you had someone who restores Ferrari's give it a thorough review and complete itemization of all the work that needs to be done (if any) and the quality of the work that has been done. And, cost to make the car right in case it is not.

    Even then, if initial purchase price (i.e. low) is your major reason for this purchase, you will be better off finding a high mile car that has no stories and documented service history.

    And, check with your insurance agent on price of coverage for such a car and if they even offer coverage.
