Thinking about buying this Cali - thoughts please

[PGNSagaris]

Afternoon all,

Thinking about buying this Cali. Do you have any pointers or is there something about this car that screams don't do it. I know very little about the California's.

I had a red Ferrari (430) before but for some reason don't think it works on a Cali. But I do LOVE the red interior. It won't be used for track work but mainly for cruising around the UK and some Euro jaunts.

I know it is not new enough for the 7 year servicing but hoping to get the first service thrown in plus an extra year or two's warranty. Should I wait till the end of the month and aim for a cash discount instead of servicing/warranty extras?

One last question - they all seem to ride very very high on the front and pretty high on the rear. Is this standard? It seems like the lift function has been left on?!

Thanks in advance

Darren, thank you very much for that!

Also replied to your DM.

Thanks for your thoughts gents.

For me, the Grey/Red combo is just perfect. TDF and Cream is also another favourite but perhaps more so on the V12 cars.

Work em hard mate, if needs be walk away... they don't take long to call back

Cheers bud. They already said 'oh, we sold it last week for 89k, it was just the chap's finance fell through...'

Let's see what happens! I am usually shocking at negotiating for things I really want though...

[PGNSagaris]

Agree fully. The extra discount is a nice to have but I'd rather the car I want.

Discussions ongoing as not had time to visit this week...seems a little more discount could be forthcoming though !

Bugger. Someone put a deposit down yesterday morning....I just haven't had the time to visit this week.

The search continues...

If you are buying as an investment then I have some Saharan igloo futures you may be interested in.

I think a Cali is about as far from an investment as there is, in Ferrari land.

Also, let me know when you're selling the futures on them fancy new igloo things...I'm shorting!
