    Very pretty 599. Should be an easy sell.

    Thanks Taz! Really appreciate your knowledge and contribution to this section. It's been invaluable to me and my brief 599 ownership.

    Hi Jim,

    Was shocked yesterday when I saw the email from BaT! But good on you for taking of the important things.

    Had been hoping you would take care of this for me for the next 5 years, then let me buy it :)

    With prices going where they are, you very easily could have driven this car for 10k miles and profit 50k. Not a bad days work!

    That has to be the best color for the 599. Really classy. Best of luck with the sale, cheers for being a great Dad.

    Oh Man, somebody is going to get a great car. I've always been slightly jealous of that color, It's stunning! I have always thought that Rossa Corsa mutes the lines of the car ever so slightly. The metallic red really makes that body come alive!

    How are the shocks, does the car ride as it should? Any anti-freeze smell from the engine bay? Asking for a friend......

    Well…that was the original plan..:). Actually, my goal was to put 100K on the 599 along with my DB9. I’ll just have to buy another one once my Daughter gets settled in med-school. :)

    Depends on where you live. New Mexico is always short of doctors.

    Good luck Jim! Getting rid of this to help your daughter go to Med School is commendable! I know you are going to miss it but I imagine it will bring a strong sale price. Hoping it brings crazy money!

    Thanks Tom! You were very instrumental in helping me think through this purchase 2 years ago and I am forever grateful. (I do know that one friend I sent your way bought shortly we met. :).....I always refer you!)

    This will not be my last Ferrari. !

    Congratulations on a nice sale. I think $160K is a good price.
