What is the best way to sell your Ferrari?

Sell it to an enthusiast on Fchat.

Yeah, lots of us can’t resist a good Ferrari. Sometimes we own several at a time. The bushmobile of fchater Dennis, a particularly fine 348tb, was sold to fchater copterjohn. I found out it was for sale and fchater Cameron is it’s current caretaker and I have been it’s mechanic. It’s the only Ferrari I maintain that I don’t own. If Cameron ever puts the bushmobile up far sale I’ll own it. My current 550 is an ex-fchater car too. We are pretty obsessed here and the cars past around tend to be the good ones.

Hi chuck, post a few more details about the car and get some feedback

IMHO it really depends on you the seller. If you have the time and patience to sell it privately then you will probably get more for the car. BUT you will have to deal with showing the car (annoying and risky) - educating potential buyers on the "unique" aspects of a Ferrari and answering questions (assuming they are not Ferrari-savvy) - most potential buyers are going to want a PPI which you will need to assist in facilitating etc. etc.

If you want to sell the car privately but not deal with a lot of the above then I totally agree with leveraging F-Chat for various reasons - Generally savvy buyers / solid community to help vet the car (I have even seen F-Chatters offer to go look at a local car in their area on behalf of a potential long-distance buyer to save travel costs) and a deep wealth of knowledge to help answer buyer's questions if you can't for some reason.

If you don't want to deal with any of the drama associated with selling privately then consignment with a Ferrari dealer or other reputable exotic/sports car dealer takes away a lot of the drama - but at a cost since the Dealer will take a consignment fee from the selling price and net funds you get.

Lastly, if you are just selling it to generate cash then see above and the other (better most likely) advisements from folks on here. If you are just tired of the car or not enjoying it and want something else then the benefits of trading from a tax standpoint usually at least partially offsets the trade value versus retail value gap - and it is a relatively painless transaction.

360s are awesome cars (I owned one) but attract a wide range of potential buyers versus more niche models - this is good from some standpoints but also means more potential for novice buyers.

Best of luck with the sale - Cheers

Nice work chuck! And a fine looking car. If only it were a stick, I’d be heading down to Newport right now. Having said that, I feel it’s a little ambitious, but not insanely over priced. I guess it depends on what your time schedule looks like. Also it’s winter, so most of the world is under snow and not looking for a sexy convertible. Maybe go to Ferrari Newport Beach and see what “check writing $” is. Though don’t faint if they tell you something like $60,000.

“Prep work” aka $10k worth of belts, tensioners, fuel pumps, brakes, tires, and alignment. I’d price it at $85 and take anything with a 8 in it
