F12 is now the right time to buy?

Have had it 2 days and have added 100 miles to her already…LOVE the startup!

 

Hey Alfredesq…what car did you settle on? What color combo / big specs?

 

Yep, that is right where mine landed, sale price vs msrp - 65.27%

 

Congratulations! Amazingly unique spec. Glad you are in warm weather so you can start enjoying it right away! I have been on Auto Tempsit, and the low miles and reasonably priced F12s are moving fairly quickly. Enjoy your amazing machine in good health

 

Thank you! Yep, had her at the first show already this AM.

 

There's an F12 with a great spec at Carrio that has been sitting forever (Grigio over Bordeaux, racing seats, lots of carbon), is there a story behind that car?

 

There’s a whole thread on “Fk off Carrio” by Rob….with many people in the know chiming in.
Run.

 

It is an exhilarating machine. Does yours have Pirelli or Michelin tires - mine came with Michelin, and the past owner just changed them to Pirelli - which are horrible

 

Yeah, I'm aware of their reputation and would not buy from them, was just wondering if this car had a specific story.

As a side note, I wish more US new Ferrari buyers would spec bordeaux instead of red interiors. It's such a classy/elegant choice for interior color.

 

Unfortunately, Pirelli, but i’m just gonna wear them off and then change wheels and go to staggered either 20/21 or 21/22 and Michelins
No reason to waste a couple grand

 

Yessir..I really liked the spec, but was told by a few people “in the know” to just forget about Carrio…
on a different note there was a Rosso Corsa in Texas with a really good spec that look really good. I was gonna look into that if this fell through. I’m not a huge Rosso corsa fan, but it is a really good spec

 

For sure, bordeaux is a great choice…i think it depends on the look. If you want pure sport, then bright red, of course, but if you want something more appealing for every day, then Bordeaux.

 

The asking price is very low for the modifications and miles - it is an interesting car. It shows no accidents, but I am wondering if there was paintwork or some other issue with this particular car, as it is priced well under the market for a similarly equipped F12.

Some of these cars just take on lousy energy, and they take forever to sell - like the black 2017 that has only 1700 miles and had some paintwork

 

I just ran the carfax on that car - it was in an accident - and it has been for sale since 2023, first with one dealer for a year and now with these Carrio people.

It seems like the F12 owners are more discriminating, and the market can flush out these "problem" cars.

With all I have read about this dealer, it amazes me that they are still operating and the kind of inventory that they have - there are a lot of horror stories on this forum about them

 

Ah, that makes sense. And it shows as "no accidents" on cargurus, lol

Good find. I pray that no one is tricked into buying that particular car - shame

 

Anyone looking not a bad spec

Good eyes. I don’t like 1 key and $900 seller doc fee. Nice spec though

 

900.00 on close to 300k you can negotiate that out.

 

Yes you can indeed. Interesting to see how the F12 currently on bring a trailer trades at. It has 45,000 mikes and a lemon but back

 

I call 185k with miles and buy back

 

I give it 190k due to the seller and clean condition - and new trans - lets see

 

At least ExoticsHunter is a reliable seller…they do a good job finding good cars…so i’ve heard.

 

Not loving the two color seats though.
