It's fully loaded so that's the good news.
I suspect that the reason it has hung around is the UK market is very mileage sensitive and 43k miles (on the odo rather than the 41k quoted in the ad) may be putting people off because these cars are so driveable that you'll be adding a lot more to that total.

And then there's the dealer's reputation to consider...

One minor point is that they have run the fuel tank very low. This can damage the fuel pumps which is a £2-3k fix depending on whether one or both pumps have overheated and is not covered by warranty (ask me how I know). If you decide to proceed, have a PPI done including a code check and if there are any strange fuel error messages which won't clear then negotiate the price down to cover new pumps.

Not sure if it helps you much, but I'm 95% certain this is one of my old cars. I agree with the above (shock horror!) that it is pretty high mileage for an FF in the UK. I believe that I PX'd it at 28K miles into the Ferrari dealer network probably back in late 2016, from memory I sold it for around £120K. So it's not done huge miles since then, but it's getting on at 40K+. In terms of GVE, I've bought from them before. They are OK (in my opinion) but you're not buying through the dealer network, which means you'd want to pay a lower figure from a comparable car inside the Ferrari world. Good luck!

They have actually sold the car. High mileage on the car doesn't frighten me that much.

I was looking at this and the FF at Scuderia - i must have left 10 messages at GVE for someone to call me. I honestly dont know how they manage to sell cars given how bad they are at returning calls

[Mattjevans]

I had the same experience with GVE, wasn’t too worried about mileage if appropriately priced, but gave up and bought elsewhere

I've not watched him in several months but Mr. Double-T shirt is back with a pretty entertaining review of the FF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U6LazomndQ
Nothing we've not seen before but he puts it across in a fun way. Those US valuations are low!

Jayemm's mat James just bought one. Jayemm absolutely loves it!

Anyone recognise this particular car? - https://tinyurl.com/du2dtarx

I vaguely do, although I've looked through Collecting Cars and it wasn't on there, so not sure where I recognise it from. It's not a million miles from where I am, and I'm intrigued as to how it ended up at a private dealer near Inverness. Tempted to go for a look

hi guys, looking to get back into an F car but kids, rear seats would really widen the usability.

does anyone know this car?

thanks,

seems relatively new, but no carbon brakes and miles a bit high

thanks

This cars been for sale a while now, it might be a mixture of mileage and interior colour putting people off.

[Aprilia99]

I'm not sure where you're getting the lack of carbon brakes from as all FFs have CCBs. They are standard fit.

[Aprilia99]

thx, since realised that.

having just bought one the only advice i would give is go drive a few and go for the one that feels right for you. by that i mean not just the car but the people selling it

[Mattjevans]

In for first service and found hub carrier is worn to the point of knocking. To be fair, it wasn’t noisy when I bought it - the noise first occurred about 4 weeks ago…

£2k for just that side, other side also worn but not knocking- I’m looking into the warranty

[Zanderman]

Anything wrong with this one?

looks like a nice car.

[Van Dessel]

yowza - now THAT's a nice FF: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11871443

wheels are a bit dark but that can be changed the next time they're refurbished

my neighbour just sold his V12 Lusso but held on to his Q7, need to ask his reasoning, maybe just too much car for central (i.e. zone 2) London
