cali, 55,000 miles what's it worth

mercedes benz of freehold new jersey has one...

 

Few here like to talk about depreciation as their cars are so new. I'll pitch in and say with 56K miles they'll be lucky to see $120K. They are asking $160K as of July 3rd:

Used Luxury Cars Freehold | Preowned Mercedes-Benz Cars For Sale | Used Car Dealership

~$160K should buy a regular mileage 2009. Personally I would not be interested in saving the $40K for an extra ~40->45K miles. Wonder what they paid for it?

 

Probably someone traded it for a new SL.

 

55k in a ferrari is a tremdous abmount of mileage not because they can't take it but because there are so many cars available with MUCH less mileage .. Regarding what they paid my guess is under 100k .. I would not buy it for more then 120k..or better yet I would save up and buy one with 10 to 20 k miles
best of luck

That is probably right.

It's nice to see people driving their Ferrari's. Hopefully there will be more higher mileage Ferrari's for sale. That's not saying I'd buy one with that many miles but nice to see.

 

A lot of miles, probably ok. What price do you think would make it worth while, 100, 95, ??

 

Every penny to the person who piled on the 55K.

Wow that's a lot of commuting in 3+ years. I can't imagine most of it was pleasure driving.

 

The irony in this is priceless.

 

It is really cool that someone went that many miles in a 2010. However, $120k would be way too much as a new DCT if it fails will totally kill the deal. I don't think it will ever sell retail and it will likely wind up at an auction. I wonder how much the prior owner got for it on trade? I bet he did ok compared to what it will ever sell for.

 

I recall the old saying 'if you spend $3/mile running your Ferrari you're doing ok'? If such thing would be true, then a difference of 30K miles would imply a price of under $100K?

 

While it's always great to see an affordable ferrari, there's a glass floor on pricing. FoW had a 40k car, priced it $5k above the lowest priced car and a week later the price on the other car was adjusted to $5k above the 40k mile car. Interesting dynamic. I've been the guy looking seriously at the lowest priced example and I'm sure I'm not alone. The market doesn't want you to price significantly below the next car up even if it has half the mileage. What it's worth is what someone will pay. Make it the lowest priced example, by 5-10% and see what happens. Better yet, put it on consignment so you're not tempted to crack too fast.

 

Anyone check this Cali out?

 

Did this ever sell?

 

If you thought 55k was a lot. This one has 72k....

Who in their right mind would pay 135k for that car

 

the crazy thing is. I just go my california and i like so much that i see myself gettin rid of it at 20,000 miles just so i can get another to avoid excessive mile depreciation. ive had a 612 and this thing just seems so much responsive and fun to drive. traded in my bentley supersportsand i couldnt be happier.

 

Everybody wants an F-car and yet everyone is frightened to drive 'em and turn the odometer! I'm so confused.....
Maybe we change the name of the site to: Garagequeenchat.com

FYI....I'm gonna drive and enjoy mine! These are great cars, but they should roll...not sit!

 

Which car is a greater risk:
A. a car with 55K miles and a year left with the factory warranty

OR

B. a car with 20K miles and an expired factory warranty?

 

B

 

Can you add a power warranty of any kind to a car with that many miles?

 

A.

Especially if you plan to keep it longer than another year. I don't even exceed 10k miles/year in my truck which is my DD! You have to be really hitting the roads in all sorts of conditions to rack up 55k miles in 2 years, not good for an FCar.

But it will likely be much cheaper than B especially if you add power warranty to B.
