    My pristine 488 Spyder was hit "T-Boned" here in Naples Fl. No body was injurer other than receiving a concussion to recover from.

    Questions Can anyone recommend the following for the area Im in: Naples FL

    1/. Professional Auto Appraiser, someone to value the car and get market compatibles.
    2/. Can anyone recommend a body shop who can fix this Ferrari to the standards we would expect
    3/. Can anyone recommend Legal support, Personal injury, diminished value..
    4/. Does anyone know of a Ferrari salvage shop that might be interested in buying this


    thank you for the advice

    Nooooo!!! I love that color, so sad. Luckily it looks like the door took most of the impact so a good shop should be able to make it as good as new.

    Bears repeating Diminished Value will be massive. Go to Ferrari Dealer. They can help you on all questions.

    Glad your OK! Car is replaceable! Can't imagine the feeling of something like this happening. I believe your car will be totaled. Friend had his totaled when hit R rear wheel area which involved gas tank,suspension etc. no deployment of any air bags. Your's appears to have absorbed a great deal of impact invol. rear fascia, passenger door ,air bag deployment,possibly A &B pillars and front fender. Loss of value will be great. I had a small crease in front fender & loss of value was approx 25% on resale with my 360 yrs ago. Make sure you have a very good attorney. Good luck!

    Their insurance company: YOU HIT A WHAT!?

    In all seriousness, though, glad you're okay. Things are replaceable, people are not.

    If the insurance company will total it, I'd just go that route. By the time you factor in diminished value, I'm not sure it's worth the hassles. A lot depends on if there is any frame damage.
