612's Thoughts.

No downsides to the glass roof, it has three settings so you can decide how much light suits. Absolutely no squeaks or dramas, remember this was Ferrari's flagship car so they upped the anti on build quality.
Another thing I have noticed is noise dampening is very good, too good in fact. Even with sports exhaust on it's still not that loud in the cabin. Some people address this by changing out the exhaust to Larini, Tubi or Capristo et al. Except when you start the car from cold, the explosion of 12 cylinders coming to life is intoxicating!
Further, the ride in comfort mode is not as nice as in sports mode so it stays in sports mode all the time. The 612 is amusingly thirsty in fact I have started to play the game 'how low can you go'!
And when people ask me why I bought the car I simply say why have 8 cylinders when you can have 12!

Don't know that particular car Noor but it looks good. The car should have the balance of the Ferrari warranty on however if you do buy it they will add a two year ferrari warranty but this is not necessarily the best warranty as its cover is limited.
Pretty much same spec as mine, except I have black calliper's and chrome alloys. Further, I bought the car in June 2015 for less money and with 11,000 miles.
The problem you have and other potential buyers is that prices are going up and there is a finite supply therefore decisions have to be made quickly before you miss the boat. Three years ago I was looking for the cheapest HSTC car in a declining market and waited until the market bottomed, In fact all I achieved was to miss out on buying the car I own now at maybe upto £20k cheaper.
I now realise I should have bought the most expensive car I could afford because that's what happened in the end. PM me if you need further advice.

I think this point is currently up for debate. 'Some' people seem to be taking to the life-rafts, if the auctions are anything to go by.jshell said:

I think that the very best examples will hold high prices, but there's been quite a bit of tagging onto shirt tails and I think talk of imminent interest rate rises is causing a few speculators to realise a profit.Now who was it poo-poo'd my assertions a few weeks ago that interest rates would double be Xmas
They do look a bit terrible (well, compared to the rest of the range...) and I guess this lowers your expectations... until you go in one. I've only ridden as passenger but was far more impressed than I expected to be - and that was riding back-to-back with a Nissan GTR.
I still don't think I could get one after my 360 though. Just not quite good looking enough :/.
