    Tell her you have inadvertently failed to engage gear from neutral. I always put the car in neutral at stop and thus that happened many times. Unfortunately, that drew unnecessary attention. Truly unintentional because I don't like to rev the engine without load.

    So i testdrove one.
    Definitely black on black would be my color...
    However, dont kill me, i was disappointing by the quality of the leather or the inside...my s coupe is just ao much better, feels richer too...for half the price new i wasn’t impressed...
    Now the drive itself was wonderful;)
    So i think black on black would ve perfect for me ...now let’s see what i can find!!

    The interiors of Ferrari can be dramatically different based on the owner's designs and specs.

    Just go to preowned.ferrari.com. choose FF.

    I know three FF based on my search.

    I went to see the one in Vegas. The edge at the front hood is quite uneven, and the color on the Carfax is different from white. Shady, so avoid it.

    The one from Lake Forest has been sitting for a while and they just dropped 20K in asking price. They should be very motivated.

    The one from Tampa Bay has the craziest price because somehow the car was still considered new and the dealer could not discount for stupid Ferrari rule that new car must be sold at MSRP.

    Get the one from 2015 or 2016, because the location of the battery tender has been moved to a way convenient location.

    The one i test drove was a 2014 at brabam miami. Red, loaded, tan daytona seats,9k miles which is why i was shocked to see the leather already wrinkly and bolster wear. It felt like quality leather but fragile...the designo on the s coupe is just night and day sturdier... i know it’s sometimes blasphemy to criticize ferraris but for 300k new I’d have been mad to get this level of quality.
    I also think the ff looks best black on black but that’s me;)
    Will keep u guys posted!

    Isn't that one with an accident? I considered that one and just couldn't figure out how bad it would be when I want to sell it a few years down the road with that on carfax. Otherwise great specs.

    Where are you located at? Bay area? By the way, I am not a broker, but just a Ferrari nut.

    Don’t get me wrong i loved the cockpit, it’s performance and its back. A bit less sure about the front and sides.
    Im 6”1 and fit comfortably in the back too.
    I think diamond stitching black is probably the right interior for me vs the tan one.

    Mine better! Just kidding. I always wanted the diamond seats, but my wife hated it. Technically this is her car, but she has only driven it twice so far...hehe. I have always been the driver!

    Mine buys the idea of upgrading her bmw to a porsche (she want panamera, I hate it and would see how taycan looks when it comes out). Then I told her I will just buy a FF to hold me over til taycan is out. Brilliant! ;)

    Wait, are you sure that you still want Nero given you are a bit OCD? It's a real pita to maintain a Nero.

    I definitely can't have black. Issue is while I do take care of my car, I don't have ocd. With black, you need to have ocd or it will look like shxt
