Signal Green 599

It sold for very close to asking price. I offered less thinking that future resale might be a problem, but I guess someone didnt care about future resale and gobbled the car up for close to asking...

Hope the comments on the color here haven't offended. Sorry, if so. To each his own.

Playing devil's advocate, you're car is nearly six years old, and it's still going to sell for about half what you've got in it, right? I know the numbers are insane, how much $$$ and how little driven. But simply, 6 years old, for about half price. Doesn't seem that bad to me. I couldn't eat that kind of depreciation. I'm just saying it seems better than most cars, am I right?

I think there should be a "Good taste comission" inside the Ferrari Personnalization atlier, with elderly italian men with white hair and sunglasses, who give the Green light for such projects.

While I agree with many selections at least with this one you can change the seats out pretty easily with a good shop.

I don't mind the exterior. The interior wasn't great in my book.

Hopefully the new owner loves it.

Exactly.

The exterior is very cool. I think that one would become tired of it quickly though. The interior would be better if the exterior was black. I can't think of a worse combo than lime green on blue alcantara...then again there is the purple and yellow lakers combo.

I think the car is interesting to look at, but I wouldn't pay up for it.

It would be better if the exterior was just a wrap.

Supply and demand. You don't need much of a market when it's that rare.

Some cars are rare for good reasons....That car is rare for bad reasons..IMO.

It's not my cup of tea, either, but that's immaterial if at least two people with sufficient means really love it.

And no, I didn't buy it.
