That st Albans car sold over a year ago and they kept the advert up for months, and even though I’m not a fan of 812 looks, they are not coming down to high 1’s due to the release of 12 cilindri. 6 months ago when I was um and argh on a F12 a 812 was offered to me at 199,995 with 38000 miles on it, they sold it 15 mins after going live and the phone never stopped until advert went off Ferrari System. Admitted they priced it wrong and let the deal go through with first caller. Anyway it’s a forum and all about opinions.

thats a more balanced response.

?? Who are you, the forum police? Balanced because I didn’t agree with you? My reponse to your taking notes on F12 was valid, it’s comical to me, because I’m out here trying to buy an F12 in the colour I want for over 12 months and the market is one thing and your notes are another thing.

I suspect choppy boy hasn’t event got his license yet, never mind a car, so far he has purchased about 10 different variants

When you make stupid comments directed at me, I’m allowed to reply.

I’m not looking to buy an f12 at the minute. I ended up test driving 488’s, however wanted a convertible, then ended up with a mclaren 650s spider after driving f12’s/488’s. I’ll revisit f12’s in the future.

McLaren owners aren’t nearly as angry and some of the posters in this thread.

Haha, brilliant. Yep I was warned by some about the forum keyboard warriors, just trying to give some up to date info out there for anyone else looking to buy a F12. I’ll get off this thread now and
hopefully the troll will do likewise.

can we please direct any depreciation threads to the Porsche forums please
as all sensible threads that are posted there descend into how badly the car is priced and will be worth pennies in a couple of months time.
lol

So true. It’s just the 1-2 year overall cost that most look at.

The state of those brake discs suggests that the car has been tracked or abused/clocked. Nothing wrong with the former if priced correctly but check the history for the latter. Insist on a brake wear read-out.

and if so, budget £12k to £14k to change the Disks..

Such a strange ad. A big long lecture on what an F12 is but virtually nothing on the car itself. It’s possible to ask of course but wouldn’t instil me with confidence.

Very good point DMZ

[cgt2]

Very reputable dealer with one of the very best Ferrari techs in the UK. I would contact them for more info rather than speculate online.

That is one of my biggest pet hates, if I’m spending north of £100k on a used car that I’m searching for on autotrader it’s probably safe to assume that I know what the car is about. If I want a review of a car I’ll go look at evo.

Fully agree with cgt2- call Tim and he’ll tell you everything you need on the car. Their technician is one of the best around, anywhere - there will be nothing amiss when you drive the car away.
