Parting ways with my V12 Lusso

I'll ask... What's next?

 

I wonder how much it would cost me to upgrade by trading in my 2012 FF with 52k miles

Just viewed your car on line. Very nice color and build. Would you mind a few questions? Are you the only owner (no carfax yet)? The gold accents - did you add and is the stripe paint or “wrap”? Love the wheels - do you know what happened to the OEMs as I may want to have a second set of wheels/tires….
Thanks very much for any incremental info you may be willing to provide.

 

Thanks very much. I’d like to send you a PM but I’m fairly new to the forum and may not have privileges to do so…or I can’t figure it out. Just a little embarrassing…….

 

Looks great man, congrats on the 812!

 

And in case you haven’t already found it, Mickey started a great thread on FChat detailing the process of the wheel change and lowering. All the specs and photos are there.

 

Thanks! I've gotten quite an education on the car over the past few hours. Awesome to find so much info here.

 

Great market to sell. I love my Lusso12. Need the seats for trips with kids. Otherwise everything has two seats.

 

CONGRATS!

 

I’ve been looking to replace my FF with a Lusso. I’m in the Bay Area and have my eye on this one. Looks beautiful and hope to get up to Ferrari SF to have a look.

 

Any chance you could post to the link to the thread?

 

did it already sell? V12's don't seem to be hanging around these days!

 

Well, I’m the lucky guy who bought Mickey’s former GTC4Lusso. It’s my first Ferrari and I must say (as you all know) it is fantastic. Mickey did an awesome job maintaining this car and it was 100% exactly as advertised. Perfect in every way. I’ve purchased many cars sight unseen and I’ve found a formula in so doing and this experience ticked all the boxes. By necessity there must be a huge amount of trust and ultimately, it’s a leap of faith, but between Mickey speaking with me many times on the phone (and texts / emails), and Jeff at SF Ferrari being a totally stand up person, this transaction was a piece of cake. Rarely do I get to speak with the former owner but to also find one that is more obsessive about his cars than I am is a rare find. All of the aftermarket upgrades were done professionally with a conservative approach and could be easily converted back to stock if I ever choose to (unlikely). Lastly, this forum has been so incredibly helpful in building my knowledge base from knowing nothing about the car to being a “mini-expert” in a few short months. Thanks to everyone who shares their good and bad experiences. I’ve read every thread on the Lusso – many of them twice – so I knew all of the risks / benefits of the car, as shared by all of you, which helped convince me that this was a car I wanted to own. So when I saw Mickey's on Ferrari Chat on a Saturday morning I knew it was the one….I owned it Monday morning. I’ve only driven it about a week so everything is still new which for me, is an awesome time in the lifecycle of ownership. Cannot wait to put on more miles.
