ANYONE THAT WANTS TO BUY OR SELL A FERRARI THE RIGHT WAY

Thanks Mike!

Keep the Ferrari passion going!

I am happy to report that I am another fan of Mike. I had specified the model, colors and price I wanted to Mike and he made it happen. He was able to put me in contact with the owner of a F355 GTS in the specification I desired who did not even have the car for sale, but agreed to talk about it. After many conversations with Mike and the owner he agreed to sell the car to me. There is no way this would have happened without Mike so don't be afraid to pick up your phone and give him a call. The only catch is you have to call him and have a conversation before he can help you but you wont be disappointed!

 

Just thought I would shout out to the forum here about my great experience with Mike . I'm a First time Ferrari owner with but with a lot of years of experience in the repair end of the car business . Mike set me up with a black 458 coupe that was offered for sale here with most of the options I wanted and I still keep finding accessories and carbon fiber I didn't realize was on the car . Some folks think Mike's sales techniques are a little unconventional but his enthusiasm and love of Ferrari's is off the charts and when I saw the car for the first time I realized he absolutely helped fulfill a dream of mine .

 

Just wanted to ad maybe a different perspective as I had a wonderful 458 for sale. Rather than go through all the emails and phone calls, I contacted Mike to help me out. I’ve been around the forum for a couple years but not much into posting. Having seen how much traffic Mike creates, it was an easy decision for me. Took a little while to sell but as the weather broke, interest picked up and I was able to send my car on its way just a couple days ago to it’s new owner. Absolutely loved working with Mike, made the whole experience loads of fun. Best thing is, he always keeps the line of communication open, sometimes a short conversation often longer, whatever it takes. Made the sale for me soo much easier. One of the best parts is the car is now with someone who I know will throughly enjoy and care for it. Thanks Mike for working with me on this deal!

 

I just bought my first Ferrari with Mike’s help. I found a car that caught me eye, but I took a slow and methodical approach researching what I wanted. Mike proved a great resource. He invested his time in me with no clear indication of where or if it would progress. At no point was there any sales tactic pressure or shtick. When my interest sharpened, he got me the documentation I needed, pointed me to local Ferrari resources I could leverage and connected me with the owner. Once I pulled the trigger he helped get the car to me quickly and safely. Mike did not sell me the car; he acted as a consultant in helping connect the right buyer with the right seller and car. He has my full recommendation and endorsement.

 

Mike at Yellow Compass is Awesome! I agree with so many previous posts regarding his general excitement for people and Ferraris – there is no other way to go than with Mike. It may take a conversation or two to get used to his ways but you’ll realize that he’s the only way to go if you want to buy or sell a Ferrari or need components. The open communication, constant availability, personalized help and connections he has and is willing to share are unbelievable. If the time comes to move on from my F430 I’ll be calling Mike again.

Mike, I also wanted to thank you personally for your help with what seemed like 100s of general Q&A texts and phone calls over the past several months and then specifically with my F430 Spider and the exhaust components. I love the car and how it drives & sounds.

Wanted to thank Mike for getting me a beautiful f355. I did my research and found a link on YouTube to make my decision to use him. However, when the time came to pull the trigger, things move fast. Nice/Perfect cars don't come around often. I pulled the trigger without usually doing my due diligence on the car (inspection) etc... I did this only because Mike assured me the car was perfect and vouched for it. Things don't always go perfectly and I understand that. The car was sitting and car was rough when it was delivered to me. ( to save on shipping and final price to me, Mike never saw the car in person) Once I let Mike know, he assured me that it would be taken care of. Problem was the car was now imported into Canada and it couldn't be brought back down for service/inspection. All along Mike was available, he had his main mechanic contact mechanics on my side and so forth. I was confident and never felt I was going to be left hanging with an extra service bill. Turned out to be spark plugs and the bill was reimbursed by seller. Long story short. The car is what I expected it to be if not better, Mike was available when needed, did what it takes to keep a customer happy. There was some doubt if I made the right decision, when the car was delivered underpowered. I would highly recommend Mike, I expect to use him again in the future.

I dont usually post reviews. But Mike at Yellow Compass is knowledgeable, personable and gets the job done. He was absolutely helpful, respectful and a great resource and helped me with my Ferrari sale. I recommend talking to him if you are buying or selling a Ferrari. Thank you Mike.

 

First time Ferrari buyer here (and longtime fchat lurker learning a ton – thank you). I have been looking at 458s for a couple of years and seriously looking to buy over the last year. I spoke to several different brokers after wasting a lot of time on the dealers. I never understood Mike’s online persona until I spoke to him and that changed everything. We ended up talking 2-3 times every single day over 3 weeks until the deal was done (and have spoken quite a bit since then).

Mike nailed it with the 458 Spider we ended up on. The sale was anything but easy and I am a super particular guy, but Mike worked really really hard to make it happen. Even though his commission was the seller’s responsibility I paid him some for everything he did. He also set me up with his contacts for a PPI and transport. I flew his master tech, Alfonso, in from NJ and he was outstanding. Look forward to working with him on the next car.

 

First time Ferrari buyer here as well, Mike helped me ultimately find the 6-speed 360 that was the right car for me. I can honestly say you won't find someone as helpful as Mike when it comes to navigating the market. Mike never seems to stop working, have a question at 8pm on a Saturday night? Mike is one quick text away. During my search Mike was one of my regular phone calls on my commute into work each day, giving me an update on anything new and telling me to be patient as the right car will come along. He has a tremendous wealth of knowledge and he's honest about the market, he'll even give you an no BS outlook on what depreciation you might be looking at over the next few years.

I think there's people out there that initially bristle at his sometimes all capitalized bombastic posting style. Honestly I was initially one of them. But I can say is that after a few phone calls with Mike you'll see things differently. He's straightforward about how he works, he was always open about how the deal works and clear about how he gets paid. He might challenge your thinking and introduce you to other possibilities, but he'll never pressure you into a car that you don't want. While there were certainly times that I contemplated settling for an F1, Mike ultimately helped me find patience until the right gated option came along.

I think the best endorsement I can give though is that when I'm ready to find the next car or I'm in the position to have to sell my current one, Mike will be the first phone call I make.

 

Also wanted to give a review of my experience buying a car from Mike. It was nothing less than completely smooth, transparent and extremely helpful. Car was delivered in better than expected condition.

A little while after buying the car, I had some battery issues (my fault) but Mike was there for me along with his master mechanic on conference call immediately (also after business hours). And on more than one occasion. Where else do you get that?

Guys, we all know that buying a Ferrari is a luxury. So congrats to you who have one! I don’t know about you, but I don’t know much about Ferraris other than they are pretty, fast, intoxicating, may get you laid, and more complicated machines than a BMW or Porsche.

With Mike on my team for life, I have the power of knowledge. When something goes wrong I have a lifeline. The best lifeline. His name is Mike.

Do yourself a favor and give him a call. Your only regret may be trying to keep your wife out of the drivers seat and you where you should be.

Cheers

Happy owner of a 430 M/T
Live the dream!

 

I am pretty new to this forum, and was recently in the market for a 458 spider. I reached out to a couple of the more seasoned vets directly and Mike responded almost immediately. After just a few calls and texts, it was easy to recognize Mike as an invaluable resource and a wealth of knowledge. I had some specific parameters of what i wanted and had some unusual circumstances with my finances, these did not dissuade mike from helping as much as he could. I probably talked to him 2-3 times a day for 2 weeks straight, with his guidance and advice, i think i was able to dodge a couple potential bullets, and even though i did not buy a car through him, he was sincerely happy that i was able to find the car i wanted. I would not hesitate for an instant to call him regarding my next purchase, or to refer him to a friend of mine, or even just to shoot the breeze. FWIW, i bought a 2013 458 spider w 5500 miles on it, pics to come.

Once again Mike delivered for me - thanks, Mike- anyone considering buying or selling a Ferrari should talk to him! Remember and I can't stress this enough, he also knows about cars that owners want to sell but don't want to advertise.
FERRARI buyers are crazy... sometimes... and Mike can handle it!!!
Talk to him- day or night- you will see.

 

This is another testimonial to Mike and his expertise with all things Ferrari. I approached him about a Capristo sound 2 exhaust for my F355, which is a custom order from the factory. (As I learned from Mike, Sound 1/3 is the more commonly stocked item) He was extremely knowledgeable about the technical details of this product and brokered a very fair price. Despite having to ship direct from Germany, the exhaust arrived well ahead of schedule, right to my install shop in Seattle. I just took my first spin with the new exhaust, and it is truly glorious! Any 355 guys even thinking about the Capristo, call Mike right now. Thank you big Mike! Looking forward to meeting you in person someday and our next F-car transaction.

 

Same comments here, Mike is awesome!

Anyone looking for your dream car contact Mike. He will work very hard to find your dream car for you.
