Mike is great! I just pulled the trigger on my first and he is the only one that I considered to buy mine (and every future one) from! When I take delivery I will post more. Stay tuned!!!

 

You are getting a fabulous car and Michael is a tremendous resource whether selling or buying

 

THIS IS THE BEST

 

Who's the rapper?

 

You get some nice well deserved invites. I like how you handle the haters.

 

At a great event yesterday with Mike from Yellow Compass!

 

ok boys and girls! Got the 2004 360 Spider Stick delivered today. A huge thanks to Michael at Yellow Compass and Lon Mandel for working with me to get this done. Ever since I was a young boy, my love of cars has been insane. I'm a huge Ferrari fan and can remember the days when I had my F40 and 959 posters hanging up in my room. Thankfully I have had the opportunity to own some cool cars and finally the reality of being able to afford and Fcar set in. I tried to do my own research and if you are like me, there are opinions from experts as well as opinions from those that have no business giving them. I stumbled upon fchat and as a result began to learn about Yellow Compass.

I looked back at my emails and saw that I first contacted Michael on 7/10/2017 with general questions about wanting a 360 and a 430. He immediately responded and made me feel really comfortable about being able to ask questions that a seasoned Ferrari veteran would already know. It's somewhat of a daunting task to learn about these cars and hard to find someone that would be honest about what to look for in a vehicle. Ordinary sales people will tell you anything to move a unit that they have in inventory. Michael is totally different. He is down to earth and has his network of people that own these cars and rely on him to match a buyer with them as a seller. I passed on 2 cars early on b/c of a pending sale of our business and when the time was right, I told him that I was ready to pull the trigger. We went back and forth on different vehicles and colors and he never pressured me to choose something that I did not like. He had black, silver, yellow, etc. I told him that I really loved blue but could also do red as this is the most desirable color.

For those of you that have read his posts, he is big on the rarity of a stick. While I could have gone for a F1, I was convinced that he was right on about this. Additionally, I was concerned about problems that might occur with an F1, so I settled on the stick. We went back and forth on a few cars and none really were perfect AND in my price range. He was able to work with Lon and me to look at the Rosso with Couio 2004 360 spider with a stick and an impeccable service record, not to mention carbon sport seats and a factory race exhaust. It showed up today and I almost cried when it came off the truck. All at once I felt the passion when I heard it start up and immediately felt like part of an exclusive fraternity that I've been dreaming to join since i can remember. The heritage, the history, the application of formula 1 technology applied to the road cars.

Did I get a PPI and fly down to see the car and drive it? NO. After multiple upon multiple conversations with Michael, I grew to trust him that if he vouched for a car, it would be everything he said it would be. You have to build trust to make a purchase like this sight unseen. Michael brokered the deal and I worked with him and Lon directly to get money transferred, the shipping set up, and had any and all questions answered. But the real joy of the transaction is that both Lon and Michael have followed up everyday since to see how things were going and to really share my joy in purchasing my first Ferrari. Also, they have encouraged me to call them with any and all questions that i might have in relation to the operation of the vehicle. What a beautiful and seamless transaction and I would like to publicly thank Lon and Michael for a first class experience.

I have read all the posts about questioning Michael's sales style and pricing confidentiality. STOP. STOP. STOP. As long as Michael is in the business (and I hope it's a long time) I will not seek another Fcar without his lead. Again, he knows the market, knows the cars, and will personally tell you if you should stay away from something if he finds a problem. I was serious about one car and he found an issue with it and told me NOT to buy it. How counter intuitive is that? He is a true enthusiast and will not steer you wrong. He's said it before, and you get what you pay for. Listen to him. You will NOT be disappointed!!! I LOVE MY NEW CAR!!!!!!!

 

Lon is a super nice guy. Just so you are aware, we refinished some parts on that car:

- HVAC Panel
- Window switches
- Hazard / parking buttons, mirror control and trim
- Ashtray assembly

Enjoy the car

 

Lon mentioned it when I talked to him. Nice work
