Autotrader ad question

I think this is the same car we have had listed for a couple months now

http://www.exoticautobuyer.com/autodetails.php?ad_id=918&make_id=12

 

So then whats the official asking price....so far I've seen three different prices.

 

Just ask the owner yourself. He's a member on here

I remember when he got this car. I saw many pictures of it when he imported it from a dealer in the US. It's a very clean car from what I remember.

 

Odds are it hasnt sold for a few reasons.

1)Its at a ford dealership.....

2) Its a US based car (IMO a negative)

3) And its price point is OUT TO lunch !!

Combine this all together now, and you have a car thats sitting for along time collecting dust.

 

I met the guy who owned last year at one of the charity things. Seemed like a nice guy. That car will sell when it's priced right.

 

1. it's yellow and to paraphrase something someone said last week "yellow is the kiss of death on these cars"(i disagree)
2. too much money
I disagree about the dealership part, this is what i don't understand about Ferrari buyers. WHO CARES WHERE THE CAR COMES FROM, GET IT CHECKED OUT AND IF IT'S OK WHY THE HELL DOES IT MATTER?!

 

what should the price of this car be?

 

i think it should be around $165,000.
why buy a coupe when spiders are the same money?I've seen the car and its a nice car, I just think if it was red or black it would have sold by now.

I know the coupe is f1, just showing that if i looked or called around i'm sure i could find one wholesale for a lot cheaper.

 

If the same car is listed for the exact $$ as on the dealer lot...99% of buyers will buy from the actual dealer.

That goes for a 80K used Lexus or a 200K ferrari.......its customer perception....and like everything else, perception is reality.

I never said it was right........its just reality.

PS.... a ford dealership does not attract the same client prospect as a high end dealer...Marketing 101.

 

i agree, it's just silly.

 

If the warranty is up, why would you bother bringing it to the dealer anyways?


There are so many good "Italian" mechanics in the GTA who can work on them. That's also a good incentive to get one from the US.
