    Make a good deal and get this car, the interior alone is more than unique, then warp it in MATTE SILVER instead of Yellow ;)

    I really hope neither of you get my car :D

    Just kidding :)

    I actually kinda like yellow over tan. It's a pretty rare combination and a bit tough to resell so a wrap isn't a bad idea. But I actually like it. I've even seen it on a 599 at a local gathering at our dealer. You're first thought is, wow that's a big banana. But yellow looks great on just about anything and I hate a black interior. It looked really good. But I have to hope I can keep her and not cover up that gorgeous Rubino.

    I do like yellow, but NOT on a California/Portofino or even the F12/812 , I only like it on 458/488 kinda of car. I think both the California and also the F12 are quite big for the color (YELLOW) :D:D But of-course that is only my very own taste!

    Generally, I'd agree about the Cali and giallo, but several F-chatters have posted some really nice pics of yellow Calis. I think if you pick the right complementary colors, it looks great. I recall one from a while back that had some carbon fiber exterior trim pieces that really set off the the giallo...T

    Yeah giallo modena is about the only color the makes carbon side views look hot rather than excessive. I seriously considered them on my Giallo Modena F430 back in 2011 or so, but the carbon shells were aftermarket and had mixed reviews. Exotica also sells carbon vent inserts for the Cali T for vents that aren't even there. I think they'd look a little silly, except yes over yellow. If you did a yellow wrap with a lot of exterior carbon, it would probably look really hot. I know there are front grill and rear diffuser carbon available as well...for a price. :eek:

    I have seen the wrapped yellow one on Cargurus, good price but I want to wrap after I buy, the worry being that the existing wrap is hiding a multitude of sins. I have had a dealer offer to unwrap one with a contract and deposit, but the logistics are too complex for a long distance deal. As of this morning, I have a phoneshake deal on a car pending PPI, warranty verification and paperwork. It's a carbon fiber laden beast with Magneride and sport exhaust so it ticks all my boxes. Thanks to all who have offered advice and encouragement, it's been great to find this forum. I'll be a little sad to sell my yellow 911S cab, but an employee of mine is buying it so it will be close. Hope to have pics soon, bad juju to post before the deal is done...

    Love to, but I only have space for 5 cars on my slice of the island, and two teen drivers mean my insurance premiums are already threatening to exceed my salary ....

    I have a 2015 Cali T with 35K miles. After the dealer fixed a few issues in year 1 the car has been perfect. I think driving it everyday is good for the car. I have thought of selling mine but I cannot find anything else I like right now.

    I spoke to them about it before. It is not eligible to be a certified and needs a bit of work.

    "AS IS" in the listing at a Ferrari dealer certainly made me wonder ... Steve at Boardwalk can probably tell you why they are not including any warranty on it.
