They really are superb cars and the perfect partner to a 458. I've had mine for 5 Years and might be moving it on shortly, be sad to see it go but I'm building a barn and the funds would be useful.

It currently has Ferrari extended warranty and I might consider SOR through a main dealer to get the 2 year cover or just include for it's extension next January

What's the spec? I'd like a blue one.

Don't worry had a look on your website.

Is that really 5 years? I remember you collecting that, it's the photo of the Lab in the boot I remember.

A blue car per Shmee 150 or Chris Harris would be fab but there are none on the market.

The FF market is not the easies to judge at the moment- I am starting to consider one myself for later on this year as a possible semi daily driver as my 458 will not be in use beyond October most likely.

There are 0 cars in the UK Ferrari network and the cars at various garages over the UK seem to be all over the place price wise with with not always a lot of logic based on age/spec/miles.

What would a 2012 or 2013 car with 2 year power warranty sub 20k miles retail at via Ferrari cost in today's market?

Just going by some of the prices at independent garages the FF is still one of the very few modern Ferrari's which can maybe be described as a relative bargain (for what it is...).

The VVS car has a superb spec, everything you would want really- maybe only panoramic roof missing? One of the best colours too (Grigio Silverstone) and reasonable miles. No warranty though? Not ideal on a 10 year old V12 Ferrari. The leather interior may personally put me off as I am not a big fan of that 'natural' leather colour, Cuio I believe? Would strongly prefer black but that's personal preference.

It is priced very competitively. Obviously service history and condition are not evident from the add but assuming all is in order. I guess if a car retailed by Ferrari would list at 130k+ it may be worth the potential risk at 20k less price tag?
Graypaul have an FF in the approved network. Been for sale for a while.

https://preowned.ferrari.com/en-GB/a/europe/used-f...

I'm not really interested in anything that won't pass a Ferrari inspection and qualify for it's warranty. I understand I'd be paying more for that.
I was going to say that that FF must be sold as Graupaul advertise on Autotrader and I did not see that car there (but someone beat me to it and mentioned a colleague of theirs has bought it). Cars often hang around on the Ferrari dealer websites sometimes for many weeks after they are sold. Thank you anyway as that does answer my question to a degree on main dealer pricing at least at the moment, it was useful to have a look at.

115k price, 26k miles, 2013 car, decent spec but not high spec (has essentials like carbon drive zone, shields, camera's) and one of the nice to have's (lift). The crema would have been a no go for me anyway, and as my 458 is grigio silverstone and I also have another grey car I am looking for a black/blue car for a bit of variety.

So on the basis of this add probably a Ferrari retailed car with less miles (say not over 20k), 2012-2013 and with a better spec (carbon central bridge, dash boards inserts, panoramic roof, black leather) would today probably be in the region of 125k-130k list price depending on the dealer and the exact spec.

That's really nice, but the prices are getting punchy.

It depends on your frame of reference.
That car was probably approaching £290k new.
So it’s still half price!

Another nice one being a 2015 has all the updated tech, this looks better value than the Romans car.

That last one looks decent value (2015 car, low miles, decent spec).

Not for me personally as I am only after black/blue exterior due to having grigio silverstone 458 (colour is one of the best IMO and love it just want some variety) and no crema/sabia strongly prefer black leather.

The Roman's car looks great can't fault it but very strong money- would be outside of my budget.

Ideal colour for an FF would be blu pozzi but I know it's mega rare- looks stunning though, hard to describe but sort of a dark navy blue. Much darker than tdf blue.

Agreed. It’s a nice car. Although there’s no advantage to the upgraded ‘tech’ unless it has carplay which this one seems to lack.

Is there nobody who can offer aftermarket car play ? I have aftermarket car play on my Cayenne and on the old Aston.

Blu Potzi is a wonderful colour btw

The only way to get aftermarket carplay is to change the head unit.

If you like Blu Pozzi, here are a couple of teasers…

I bought a 2015 Grigio Silverstone with Cioccolato last Summer and have absolutely no regrets. I'd looked at them off and on for about 4 years but struggled to justify it. Then my perfect spec came along, I spent more than originally planned but I got a late car in immaculate condition. Now I realise they offer phenomenal value given how special they are and feel. I cannot fault it.. having owned and driven quite a number of cars, it's way up there with the best! I think if I didn't live in London I'd use it every day without fail. The later infotainment/stereo is great.. I had researched changing the headunit before buying it but absolutely no need. The glass roof is nice to have but from the drivers seat you don't notice it and the passenger display is pointless imo. The carbon driving zone is a must as really adds to how special it feels. Also the most comfortable car I've owned!

I'm toying with the idea. Any views on this one?:

https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13374065

It's 2016 with low mileage, the price seems reasonable (in the current market). I get the colour is perhaps not at the top of everyone's lists, and it's missing the lift and Hi-Power HiFi.
