Looks like I'm about to get royally shafted!
Bought a 'Y' for circa £85k in Jan 04, now has circa 13000 on clock. Trade offering in the region of £68k to take off my hands!

Its in excellent nick, I've never tracked it, 4 previous owners, no problems with it at all.

Any suggestions where I can get a better price? I got a totally shit service when I bought it and now to make things worse they want to take my pants down!

Yeah might be an idea, but I have no experience of selling something of this rarity.

What really pisses me off is I have only done 2k miles in it, it had full services including belts from day 1! and apparently it has lost 22% of its value according to the figures!

Going back to an M3, more practical for business. Couldn't turn up to see my clients in the 360, and as I will be doing more mileage next year thought I should get a more practical machine.

I'm not fussed about the wheels I use on a daily basis. I knew driving the fezza alot would take a hit, but 2000 over 9 months, wtf! thats not alot of miles for a great enjoyment.

Why has it hit me on the re-sale so much?

Do you reckon I hang on to it, while making the dealer network aware I am selling for x amount?

Thing is I can't understand why a dealer would fleece you on potential trade, or even a realistic offer, I know dealers are going to get customers for a red Ferrari, fairly regularly........., so I'm here waiting, they then want to pull my trousers down and have the car sitting on their forecourt for an easy £10k margin?!

Jeez, it had the full belts and annual service the day I took ownership thats got to count for something?!

Okay, my services aren't cheap but then you are getting the creme de la creme of what I believe is the best service on the market in my sector, similarly I can understand Ferrari dealers taking the same stance, however........I don't think I have been to one Prestige car dealer whom has merited such high margins for what is an incredibly poor service considering the sums involved.

Hence the position I'm in now, I actually think there is a good opportunity to get into the prestige car market and clean up!

Chris,

If your car is in immaculate, and I mean absolutely pristine condition, then I know of someone who is looking for 360 and is getting fed up with the condition of some of them, even in the showrooms.

He is in the same ballpark price wise as you are looking for. Is it RHD?

He is one of the Owners Club R.Os so is not a time waster.

Email me your contact number if you want and i will pass it on.

Have emailed you, its RHD
Cheers,
Chris.
