348's @ Ferrari of Denver

Sounds like a deal....
44k for the other is a pretty good deal 2.
Especially from an F dealer. Definitely worth a call at least

Do you want pictures of it or just to look at it? Good luck with your search!

 

That seems like to good of a deal to be true....I thought the price that i'm selling my 328 for was good

 

I hope they're ratty, as a 348 owner I don't like that one bit

 

well you could call FoD and ask for Derek I am sure he could answer your questions.

 

Used sports cars only worth 1/2 price in Denver. It's the thin air. jk

Hey, what better excuse to get to Denver? Its gonna be beatiful this week. Go for it. Book that flight. Now.

 

Here's some speculation. I'm guessing it has some miles on it. Denver is a tough market for used Exotics since the oil bust in the 80's. FoD took the car in trade (they don't make much on a car that age, so no way they picked it up at an auction..and anyone with one to auction wouldn't be selling it in Denver anyway, not after July 4). Not many second hand Exotic stores in Denver to take it. They want to get it off the floor, where they are paying taxes on it. Offer them 15% less than their sticker and drive it home if it looks good.

 

they have only had the cars a few days.

 

Very interesting, as both of these are well below the market IMO .... even ebay. I am surprised to see FoD going rock bottom and being an owner, I think it hurts the F-market. On a positive note, I have been very happy with my purchase. I wished I would have gotten a better deal now that I see one with close miles to mine. Derek, the check's in the mail right

 

I spoke with them on Saturday and have about 20 pictures of the 39K car.

It's not a piece of junk -- but not something I'll pursue any further either. Supposedly the Denver market is very very hard to sell a 348 into because of the thin air. Honestly, that seems like a poor explanation because the Ferrari buying community is really nationwide.

 

I agree with you....i have a 328 listed and those prices may hurt me

 

They've had the black 328 for 9 months now. Prices are soft on older but non-collectible Ferrari's (?)

 

I have seen that 328 a number of times. My impression is that, while there is nothing wrong with it, it just doesn't have real good "eyeball". They have a gray QV that is real nice, but remains unsold also. I know Chris's 348 TB is a real good car and I think he bought it at the proper price. Don't kow about these 2 TS's, but I may be over there this week.

I have seen the cars mentioned on this thread -- The black on black 328 GTS has a great eyeball. You just don't see other cars of that vintage with such near-perfect paint and leather. Hondas? Toyotas? Never.

The Deep grey QV is also very handsome. New rear windshield (curved glass very tough to find, I'm certain).

One of the 348's lower valance is a bit munched, but even at "the lowest prices of the season -- Our prices are INSANE!" that will be replaced. Colorado is ridiculously tough on valances, front lips, whatever label one likes to give, no matter how careful one is. . .That is if you actually drive it.

I really hate the 'No, you can't drive it' policy of some dealerships. . .Maybe for a halo car such as an Enzo or vintage 250 GTO unless one's first born is hostage. FoD gentlemen take note from your customers, please.

 

Amen!

What? I've never told a client to limit the miles they drive their Ferrari, or any car for that matter but when someone is looking to purchase such a car, it is important for me to let them know the costs associated with driving the car on a regular basis and a lower re-sale value is a big concern for a lot of people who wish to own an exotic car.

 

I think he was referring to TEST DRIVES...

Yes, AWhite, you are correct, Sir.

BTW gloves are available this week.

 

Thank you sir..

let me know when the swizzle can be had...

ok...so you're saying we don't allow test drives?

 

Okay, I have to step in here. Derek has taken me on 3 test drives on cars that I have considered buying. Just wanted to state that for the record.

I did, once, put down a deposit on a car in the showroom without driving it but I am sure that if I had wanted to, it would not have been a problem.

 

Jeezus --

I did not mean to ruffle feathers. Just passing along second hand info. I have never even requested a test drive, but would certainly do so if buying any used car (unless of course Mr.'s Linder were graciously available to check out a car thouroughly on my behalf -- Thanks so much, Roland!!!). Derek, you'd let me drive a car before purchase, right? I can tell you are a good man.

Ferrari dealerships traditionally have had the luxury of customers buying things unseen or on trust that the latest model will be spectacular. It is that people SO expect much more now, with loaner cars, fancy baristas on hand for fueling certain addictions (yuck), pickup and delivery service and so on.

My Mercedes dealer (in Colo Spgs!) would send a car to Fort Collins, usually the top end vehicle available, take my cars down for service, return to pick up their loaner. . .Oh, and a kiss from a beautiful girl (yeah, one muses the latter).

It is Good to be the King, eh, Ferrari?

 

Thanks Ryan. I don't mean to come as being defensive on this subject, I just want to make it clear to anyone who may be considering purchasing a car from FoD, we certainly do not prohibit test drives. Yes, we try limit the amount of exposure to our cars on the road, nothing more frustrating than to have a pristine car go on a test drive only to have a rock thrown up and chip the windshield When you look to a dealer for your car, you expect it to be of a higher caliber than you're likely to find elsewhere, we can't offer those types of vehicles if we throw the keys to every person who walks through the door and asks for a test drive.
