Hardly a shed.
I see an 11 year old car that's been driven. That's probably still worth the thick end of £90K.
You want something mint with a warranty? You're going to be paying £115K plus at today's prices. That £25K spread buys a lot paint correction and a full warranty.
Take your point but there's more than 'correction' required to fix that. Wet sand and/or respray I'd think. I see an 11 year old car that's been driven. That's probably still worth the thick end of £90K.

If that's factory paint then I really can't believe how bad the orange peel is.

These types of interiors always say "Middle East Import" to me. No idea if that's the case here, but it's pretty hideous to these eyes.
I rather like it!Ferrari do good leather, may as well celebrate it rather than drab black or dull cream.
Would prefer tan all over tbh but I could live with that.

Ferrari is renowned for poor paint finishes. Orange peel is endemic. And for those worrying about the paint bubbling, you’ve obviously never owned an Aston.If that's factory paint then I really can't believe how bad the orange peel is.
Like Astons, the bodies and panels of the FF are all aluminium. No rust, just poor paint prep leading to oxidation spots. The bubbling on the CC car won’t take much more than a few hundred to sort out as it’ll be easy to remove and blend in as it’s on a small panel.
At the end of the day, a decent detail is all that’s required.

Nice one just popped up today. If you can live with the interior combo.
This one probably won't hang around. Blue ones always seem to go quickly.

I like the interior, its a bit more of an 'event'.This one probably won't hang around. Blue ones always seem to go quickly.

I thought I recognised the interior.https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2015-ferrari-f...
He did well buying that in month one of lockdown when the market dropped massively.
He'll get his money back and the best part of three years FF ownership and nil depretiation.
Only managed 2000 miles a year though....why buy one of these lovely things and just leave it parked up?

It's an earlyish car.https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/14666444
It's all the money for a 2012 car with no pano roof and asking price is pretty much what a Ferrari dealer would ask. The difference being you'd get Ferrari warranty at a Ferrari dealer as part of the sale.
Ultimately do you like it? That's what it comes down to.
As discussed throughout this thread, you're waiting for one of a little over 200 cars in the UK to be available for you to buy. So the pool is very small.
I spent a number of years waitng for my perfect car to appear, exactly what I wanted didn't materialise but something close did, so I bought it, but I paid asking price.
So look at the spec and ask yourself is that your car? Is that close enough to what you're looking for? If it is, get it inspected.

lets do a straight comparison with two other currently on sale.https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/14666444
3 years younger, 5 owners fewer, 3000 miles less, £1,100 cheaper - SOR dealer
https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13768951
1 year younger, 2 fewer owners, 2000 miles more, Pano roof, £4,000 more - Ferrari Main dealer (2 years approved used warranty).

My choice was (in order of preference) any green, any blue or girigio titanio with a light interior - crema, sabbia, tan.
I found GT with sabbia.
Be a little careful with some of the interior colours, they can photograph quite different to reality.
I adore tan, but very few UK cars are specced with tan, many have variations of cuoio (which is basically the word Leather in Italian).
Some of these are as orange as David Dickinson after a month in Benidorm. They do little for me, but might be right up your street!

Apologies if I've posted this information already. I haven't been paying attention to this thread.I found GT with sabbia.

Last time I checked, which is now some time ago, there were 234 RHD FFs registered in the UK. Of those, 4 were green, 21 blue and 88 grey (grey, in various shades, being the most popular colour).
Tan interior is not strictly Ferrari nomenclature. It is generally used as a synonym for both Beige and Cuoio. I assume you are using it to mean beige. I have 18 cars with beige interior (7 with blue exterior and 6 grey - no green and none of the greys are Titanio).

I note that I first saw that car a week before it was registered and several times since It was previously for sale in mid-2021 asking £98,500.https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/14666444
I knew there were only a few green cars but I didn't realise there were only 4. The last one I saw for sale was the Mexico Green one at Meridien Modena some time back.
I also didn't realise there were so few blues.
It goes to show if you're fussy (like I was) I was probably only waiting for one of 10 or so cars to appear, so I had to open up my range a bit.

What I call Tan is what Ferrari refer to as beige tradizione.So you're probably right in that Beige would be a more accurate description.
