    Mike’s the best. He waited on me to be ready to buy for three years. I nearly bought one with him in Jan ‘22… and backed out and went down the Porsche road for several years. He continued to stay in touch with me until I was ready; he was never pushy, but was always a trusted advisor. We quickly found several examples and he acted as a friend and fiduciary, ensuring that I ultimately acquired the best investment possible.

    I have recommended Mike to several others already, and will absolutely go to Mike again in the future.

    If you're in the market for a Ferrari, or thinking about selling one, Mike is a fantastic resource. He's passionate about cars and has a wealth of knowledge about Ferrari's. It is obvious from our conversations that he has been doing this for many years and in the process has developed many connections. He knows master mechanics across the country and knows many people and the cars they have in their garage, even though they haven't hit the market yet. Don't hesitate to call this guy.

    I recently had an exceptional experience with Mike, who helped me find my dream car, the 458 Italia. We had been discussing this for over a year, and I finally took the plunge last fall. The car was incredible, but now I’m on the hunt for a similar model, possibly a 458 Italia or Spider, with racing buckets, more interior carbon fiber, and perhaps even an unusual color. In anticipation of my new acquisition, I activated Mike to find a new owner for my Italia, and it was one of the best Ferrari sales experiences I’ve ever had!

    I had my 4th experience with Mike which says it all. I will be back again. He handled my sale once again with dignity and accuracy. He consigned it and in 3 days it was sold. Very fun guy to work with and he does come through for you! Thanks Mike! (also know by me as Diceman!!) If you talk to him on the phone you will get it! New jersey accent!

    Just received my 458 from Mike today (I think it's 911-AL's) and couldn't be happier. The pics showed a nice car, very clean, and brought back to its original glory by its current owner. The pics did not do this car justice. It is in amazing condition, immaculate inside, and obviously well cared for. Mike was awesome to work with and fun! Great communication, easy to work with, a great personality who clearly loves helping his customers, and making dreams come true. Really a top-notch experience. I look forward to using Mike for any future deals. Thanks for such a great experience!!!

    Just wanted to post a review on YellowCompass. Michael found me a legitimate buyer for my car and organized a seamless transaction in the process. The sale from start to finish took about 5 days, that’s with getting a PPI on my car. Highly recommend Yellow Compass without reservation

    My experience with Michael was great! From the moment I contacted him he was fully engaged. He asked me what I was looking for and told him I had been waffling between a 599 GTB, F430 and a California T, he could tell that the F430 Spider was the best fit for my first F-car. He asked me my color preference and I said red and would consider other colors, as long as they weren’t yellow or black. He told me I couldn’t lose with red or blue. I hadn’t really considered blue much because I just hadn’t really seen any blue F430s for sale and I started really looking hard in about January or February. Through his contacts he found me a Blu Pozzi Spider. As the days went on the color grew on me and since I always like to be different than the masses I knew that it was the color for me. The car was low mileage- 12K and he helped me get new tires for the call. Within a matter of a few days I had my car loaded on a Car Hauler with PLYCAR and it was on its way from NJ to OK. Michael always answers his phone. He always responds very promptly to texts. He has helped me with several questions after the sale and he will always be my guy when I look to buy or sell my next Ferrari. I trusted him 100%.

    Let me just say that Mike (*and team) is the best.
    I bought the 991.1 shown below from the FC Classifieds here and Mike stepped up and in to help both the seller and the buyer.
    Long Story SHORT...there were some logistical issues, not Seller, Buyer or Mike, but he helped get things done and handled and talked me off a ledge 2 or 3 times.

    He is the BEST communicator I've ever seen (and heard), for dalliances in the fun of exotic cars.
    This was my 4th, and I will never not go with Yellow Compass again.
    I'd not talked to him for 2+ years, then a month ago sent him a text and he called me less than 2 minutes later.
    Amazing in a world when there are 10+ ways to communicate and people still cannot....Mike can...and does!

    Thanks for the assist, guidance, service, and most of all, friendship. Much appreciated.

    Mike really cares about his customers after the sale too. He still calls 6 weeks after I bought the car to see if I’m still enjoying it and that everything is good. This rarely happens nowadays.

    I will second Graz and JRE in the purchase experience, Mike crossed every T and dotted every I in a 3-way deal that spanned the country from Massachusetts to Florida to Arizona. Highly recommended!

    Mike is THE BEST. Helped me find my next car. Ultra-responsive, hustled to get me a win, and a great guy all-around. Total asset, very grateful for him. You rock, thanks Mike.

    Mike is that person you hope to find as a connected contact, a resource, a barometer if you will, especially when first buying or even shopping for something as nuanced as a Ferrari. I'm fortunate enough to have been introduced to him and quickly developed a rapport that wasn't transaction based. After just a couple conversations, I felt like I knew the man for years. In addition to often having some great off-market deals, he has also been generous with his time to help asses other options. I'm a cynic by nature so when something seems to good to be true, I ask myself "what's the catch?". After a couple more years and many more conversations, I realized that in Mike's case, what you see is what you get; a genuine guy whose knowledge about the product and the market might only be surpassed by his passion for the same and for creating sensible opportunities for those like myself to "get in the game". Mike, thank you for your patience and for helping me feel like a kid again! :D
