Dealer markup versus private party

a sub 5k mile 07 with carbon breaks, 08 or 09s with low miles will be 130 to 160. A 25k mile 05 will be 90k. so it depends

 

Miller gets all the money for their cars. I wldnt be shy of bidding 10 to 20 percent lower than ask

 

I bought from a dealer.
Mine was 2007 spider with only 11,000 miles and I paid 121K

 

I would beware of buying bottom dollar cars. Easily spend 20k on fixing minor stuff.

Three common faults and maintenance items will set you back almost 20k:

- Need new clutch
- Need new suspension bushings (front and rear)
- Need new exhaust manifolds

 

Keep in mind, a Ferrari dealer makes most of his money from service and parts. Selling maybe 10 cars a month won't make bank anywhere.

 

What was the sticker? If it was a high 200s car I'd say 130k retail

 

You really need to post the specific car.

What's stopping you?

 

Odds are this car belongs to a customer who is trading it on a new car. The customer already knows the wholesale number and can sell the car in 24 hours. In the meantime, he or she is waiting to see if they can get more than wholesale. If you want to buy the car, find out what the wholesale is and offer say $5k more. Who knows? It might be your lucky day.

Compared to what? Let's say a Toyota dealer makes $3,100 a car. Wanna guess how many cars a Toyota dealer sells a month? Wanna guess how many cars a Ferrari dealer sells each month? The math is easy. Let's say Ferrari actually makes 9,000, which they don't. Rounding up, there are 200 dealers. So let's divide 9,000 by 200 and you get 45 cars a YEAR. I'll let you figure the monthly average. Bottom line, really, the sales side does well to break even and cover some overhead. The real profit is in service and PARTS, particularly parts.

Be my guest. Go into your nearest Ferrari dealership and show them what a smart guy you are. Show them you have got it all figured out. I doubt you will drive out with a car. I'm not saying you can't and shouldn't drive a hard bargain. But, be nice about it. Your local dealer is holding all the cards.

 

If I was in the market, and I'm not, the car I'd pay attention to is the F599. Anytime you can buy a V12 for less than a V8, I'd think seriously about it.
