Stephen, Thanks very much for calling attention to my revised sale-price of $209,995.

I was beginning to worry no one had noticed the new price. I hope no one thinks you are shilling for me.

Your calling attention is greatly appreciated. Many Thanks.

You can find it listed in FerrariAds.com for $209,995, but this price does not include the painting previously included in the $219,000 price.

Alas, mine in no longer the only striped CS for sale. F of San Diego now has a stripe for sale.

Gary

 

I checked many websites and listed their asking price and whatever else I could tell from their photos or text. That is why the blocks are empty. I couldn't tell if they had a leather roof etc.

 

Great to hear from you!

We haven't spoken since you tried to dump that overpriced, clapped out, ungawdly modified Porsche on me a while back. Outrageous price, but I guess I look like a sucker.

How's business? What are the dupes buying now?, to use Adam Smith's phrase.

I can appreciate the regret you have expressed at selling your Stradale too cheap. That's gotta hurt for a guy in your line of business.

What a shame. You sold the CS because you thought you were getting a Carrera GT for $290k, then realized you were the mark in the deal.

Great idea about the time-share (I never owned one), I've found art a better investment. I could probably find those steak knives at a garage sale in your neighborhood.

Always good to hear from an old car pal, if only to host a cheap shot.
Best Regards,

Gary

PS If you want to get back into a Ferrari, Watt has a 2000 F1 360 for sale at $139,500. Before buying, you might check the similar 2000 listed at $109,000. I can't figure why Watt after owning two Stradales bought a 2000 Modena, and why is he advertising the car with CS wheels when they aren't included? But, really, is that any of my business?

 

This thread started as a spreadsheet listing of every available for sale Stradale I could find. I ignore ebay because it is an advertising play. I made no comments about my or any other car. I didn’t even point out I dropped my price $5,000. Where is the pontification Robs accuses me of? Rob says this feels like pump and dump. How is a spreadsheet of dealers and individuals asking prices pump and dump? It seems to me the spreadsheet serves the community and some have said so.

Then Stevens, makes his thinly veiled post on this thread: “Gary, I thought from your other threads that your car was now listed at $219K and you had declined offers at $210K. What's happened as I now note your asking $209K.”

Does Stevens post serve any purpose but a negative one? I am obligated to explain negotiations or marketing? I think I’ve been unusually candid, transparent and open.

Steven wrote in another thread about my car:

Stevens (moderator) wrote:
Pay $220K, or anywhere close to it now and you'll be lucky to get $170K in 12 months time, assuming like Gary, you don't use it. Get real, using FerrariChat to market a car and try and pump prices is one thing, but this is farcical.......

Stevens (moderator) wrote:
Just wait for the 430CS to be officially announced and watch whoever pays $210K tear up $50K+ on their car......
Actually, even without the release of the 430CS, I would guess that a purchaser at the suggested current price point would tear up 50K in any event after 12 months.

Stevens seems hell-bent on chilling any buyer interest in my Stradale at any price.

Perplexing comments from a moderator who is suppose to police Rule 1.1 of this board.

I originally listed my car for $214K in another thread knowing no one pays asking price. I said publicly I would accept $210K. I said three buyers had shown interest at $210K. I did not say I had declined a $210K offer. Later, I made a poor decision and stated I would ASK $219K with $30K in art included. I soon rescinded that stupid offer. I’ve been belittled for asking $214K and when I drop my price to $209,995, I still get jabs. One has to wonder what agenda others have.

A very nice gentleman offered $210K and I accepted. The buyer got cold feet. Nothing wrong with that, who hasn’t.

Simultaneously, another buyer agreed that $210K was a fair price and indicated he would likely buy my car when his consignment car sold. That likely buyer is also on a 599 wait list. I think, but don’t know for sure, he did the smart thing and bought a CS from the dealer who both handled his consignment sale and will allocate him a 599.

The third potential buyer indicated my car was worth $210K. but is checking other possibilities.

I’ve turned down several offers of $205K. I believe that is my prerogative.

Watt has followed me around like a bad penny making cute remarks to chill any interest in my car including going to the ad section and making a negative remark. When confronted with his high asking price for Modena, he hides behind the skirts of a widow. He reports it sold for $14,000 under asking price as if he's some kind of hero.

Watt (silver subscribed)
absolutely hilarious Gary, who's writing your stuff? why just trade cars with goodwood at $359k each to support your case?

Watt: comment below my ad in FerrariAds.com
“nice car, stunning price”


To Josh (his posts below)
You have told prospective buyers a car identical to mine can be bought for $185,000. I say put up or shut up. Name the seller, provide details as I have done. Is it just one car or several as your posts suggests?

You’ve suggested my list is not comprehensive. Well I say put up or shut up. I say you have an obligation to present facts, as I have done. Put in time, as I have, and give us "your" comprehensive list.

Gary's car is a spectacular example but logic dictates that consumers are rational. Why would you pay $215K when you could buy an identical car for $185K?

Gt2-Josh (not subscribed)
Moreover this is not a comprehensive list of available cars. Just call any broker. As several posters have mentioned perfect, no-stories Stradales can be purchased for $175-185K or less. That is a fact, not speculation. Scuderia and Rosso Corsa Stradales without stripe can be had for less.

I agree totally with Stradale Joe’s post that toes are being stepped on. Mine certainly feel smashed from several days of belittlement and sarcasm from just a few people who seemed to have "adopted" me.
