f12 - sensible time to buy?
Discussion
Hi - New member!
Looking at f12's, prices seem to have been static for a couple of years(which is a good thing).
I'm in the position where an f12 is now an option. Any horror stories to look out for? Whats the annual service costs coming in at? On paper they look like less to run an an FF?
Thanks all.

Anyone know anything about the cheap black f12 at cottingham bluechip? Been up for sale for probably over a year now and he keeps dropping the price.
I didn’t like the tone of trader via email so that’s probably why it hasn’t sold, but would be a very good buy at its current price or even less. Comes with a fresh Ferrari warranty too

Benchmarking prices vs 12 months ago, they are pretty much identical. Variation seems to be due to the seasonal factor rather than any material decrease in overall F12 values. One things for sure - these are never going to crash in value.
Erm, they are down in value. If you use the auto trader plug in, you can even see how much.maura said:
Frankychops has now started a thread he wants to buy an Alpine… probably thinks they are too expensive too.. we rest our case..
Frankychops wants a new two car garage. A supercar and a fun daily, which the Alpine fits the bill of.Hope thats ok with you? is wanting the perfect car(for me) and asking questions on pricing/options a little too much for you?

I see you're also looking at a 720s. Strongly suggest getting a v12 for the supercar. McLaren's are great despite reputation but if you're worried about depreciation are probably not for you and a v12 > v8
I've got a v12(vanquish), i'd enjoy the extra RPM from a ferrari v12.140-170k opens up so many options. a 720s in dream spec would feel very specail. so would an f12.
Even mc20's are in play.
its not a terrible problem to have!

Good old frankyIn other news, was dry so fired up the F12 to give it a short go yesterday but couldn't get the tyres over 12 degrees and even being very gentle with the accelerator was breaking traction in 5th gear! Still lovely to drive even super gently though.
On another note, what do others do re fuel in these cars in the winter months? I'm slightly regretting brimming the tank in December when the weather was still not cold as it doesn't seem likely I'll get through the tank before spring. I only use v power in it so it's only e5 but unsure how quickly this stuff breaks down.
It’s just a car, not your virgin daughter. Drive the thing. Treat it like your old Fiesta, it does wonders for demystifying the whole blah blah. It won’t break, it won’t rust before your eyes.
Go on, drive it to work this week when it’s allegedly going to be freezing or semi snowing. Dare you
