Call Mike if you want a good car at a fair price.

 

It’s a buyers market for these cars, especially with higher mileage.

Unless you absolutely must have that specific car immediately, my suggestion would be to find a similarly appealing spec, closer to home, that you can inspect and PPI.

A bonus would be to buy it from a local dealer which may help to establish a relationship, the value of which would be up to you to determine.

If you are able to appreciate concerning wear just based on images, my sense is there’s probably other issues that are more significant than skin deep.

regardless, enjoy the search and be sure to post images after you find your match.

 

So you seeing this corrosion from the pics in the ad or from teh inspection report?

 

What is tge body warrnty on ferrari. Most cars in 10 years

 

well Ive never been up close and personal with an F12, but on every ferrari I've ever owned the inner fender wells were either Fiberglas or some sort of ABS plastic composite. Thus if you are going off the pics in the ad and thinking those white spots (behind the front wheels) are corrosion on the inner wheel wells, I'm not sure that is the case. Secondly the discoloration around the exhaust tips in the rear diffuser looks more like heat discoloration/paint fade to me. I'm thinking that that mesh is made from aluminum thus no corrosion either. Obviously wait for the full inspection, but those are my $.02

 

Getting Ferrari to cover corrosion issues in the past has proven difficult

 

I may be the odd one out, but I’ve always had no issues with getting them to honour the corrosion warranty. Long s the car is looked after, serviced by ferrari and the annual checks done on corrosion, they pretty much agree to cover anything reasonable. I think sometimes there are probably arguments about whether the corrosion is a defect or if caused by wear and tear on the car that hasn’t been corrected before a problem was created (stone chips left unchecked etc maybe)

 

Maybe I'm still bitter over my 612.

 

What was wrong with yours? I had some corrosion under the paint on the front of the nose, came (so they said) from the hand finishing where a hammer was used that had also hit some other corrosive metal and bashed some into the aluminium, hence the impossible corrosion. They did fix it though, and respray the car to make it right

 

mind sharing with us which PPI company you are using?

would be helpful for future purchases, thanks

good luck with your purchase!

 

Having owned a 12 cylinder Ferrari that had been driven in winter before and which had corrosion on its exhaust, suspension, and almost every part of the underbody that could rust, I would suggest you buy a clean car. There are lots around, and there’s always another perfect car for you around. Always.

 

Mine will be on as soon as the bumper is fixed. I'm hoping within 2 weeks.

 

have you seen the F12 here in the classifieds for sale?

 

Brian good for you. These people are scum. I looked at the add. It clearly says $208. They are the seller. That is the advertised price. To add 5% onto that is absurd and, frankly false advertising. Everyone should put these idiots on their do not call list.

 

Brian, a personal level, I agree with you. The interior is boring when you look at the exterior. You need some pop somewhere.

On the legal side I think they retained Chuckles The Clown as their attorney to draft their disclaimer. They state in the ad:

“All advertised prices exclude government fees and taxes, any finance charges, any dealer document preparation charge, and any emission testing charge. The price for listed vehicles as equipped does not include charges such as: License, Title, Registration Fees, State or Local Taxes, Smog Fees, Credit Investigation, Auto Holding Vehicle Certification, Optional Credit Insurance, Optional Maintenance Packages, Physical Damage of Liability Insurance, or Delivery Fees. Auto Holding makes no representations, expressed or implied, to any actual or prospective purchaser or owner of this vehicle as to the existence, ownership, accuracy, description or condition of the listed vehicle's equipment, accessories, price, specials or any warranties. Any and all vehicles that qualify and/or are sold under our 14 day return policy, are subject to a 20% restocking fee from the purchase price. Any and all differences must be addressed prior to the sale of this vehicle. Auto Holding is not responsible for typos and exact options list as it is automatically decoded from the VIN number. Dealer will not be liable for any inaccuracies, claims or losses of any nature.”

Where does that disclose the 5% “transaction fee”? Also, they say they make no representation as to the “existence” of the vehicle or its “ownership”!!! So if they sold you air that that they didn’t own and you were lucky enough to qualify for their 14 day return policy they would charge you a restocking fee of 20% or $40k on a $200k purchase? People should RUN from anybody that even thinks of stating such nonsense.
