    +1, one of my favorite color combinations, especially for a 612.

    good luck on the sale. any interest in trading for a rental house in the midwest? :)

    I've never been too big a fan of the 612 but yours is absolutely stunning. Good luck with the sale.

    What a vision! This is my favorite of the modern Fcars, and the color combo is perfect. I'm still on the fence with the Daytona seats, but after seeing them on your 612 I can see the draw.

    Don't let her go! (but best of luck if you must)

    It's funny after listing mine and admittedly not a real seller, I swapped pm's with guys that were interested.

    Some of the guys who purchased the 612, I still exchange pm's with think the 612 is by far the best Ferrari they have ever owned.

    Beautiful OTO!

    I'm ambivalent about selling the car. I've owned most of the modern Ferraris since the late 90s - I've owned this one longer, and driven it farther, than any other. After the 612, I've lost interest in an 8 cylinder car for the street - though I'd love to race a 458 Challenge, and likely will get one eventually. I know the styling and size are controversial; I have friends who tell me I should buy a smart car as a "tender" for the 612. Buying a new 612 would be a serious commitment, as the depreciation is substantial - look at my car, MSRP $340k in '08, now $185K in 2010, though even when I bought the car one didn't pay sticker.

    Put the 612 on the market because I have too many cars - but if it doesn't sell, it won't break my heart, I'll sell something else. Great, great car, and I'll take a hard look at the 612's successor.

    Thank you for the kind words about the car. Will be interesting to see what happens.

    I'm interested where you end up on this sale - I've been toying with selling mine but haven't seen interest at your price level (but I do have 20K rather than 15). Good luck.

    No offense to anybody, and not WCH certainly, but I have always felt that if a car is really for sale then the seller is willing to take market price for it. My old dealer in Beverly Hills used to always say that market price is the best price you can get for a car in a 60 day period of through marketing.

    Otherwise, people are wasting their time looking at a car that isn't seriously for sale, and sellers are just trolling for offers to see what the car is worth at that point in time.

    Sellers have a perfect right to keep their cars at below whatever price they to sell. But they also have an obligation to buyers to let them know they what they need to let it go, or they need to let potential buyers know the car is seriously for sale to the best offer.

    I have followed a local 2003 360 which has been 'for sale' for two years. It has always, and still is, priced $20K over market at least. It has gone down maybe $30K at least in that period. Maybe I am missing something but I just don't get it.

    The definition of a real buyer and a real seller, you take these two parties and a deal will get done. If you do NOT have both you have parties who are wasting time and energy. BTW make me an offer :)

    No offense taken. My car's really for sale, but that doesn't mean I'd sell it for market if market is $125,000 (where my ebay auction is at the moment).

    How do you find out what the market is? Should you price high and leave room for negotiation, or price at your minimum? Tough questions. People are forever posting wholesale car auction results, which I think is silly; buyers of these cars generally need a lot more information than blue0824kmiles.

    Like Champagne said, "make me an offer."
