f12 - sensible time to buy?

[MDL111]

when I bought my FF in 2015, the cheapest F12 in Germany was c. 210k from memory (maybe 215k). Now the cheapest F12 is c. 195k - so I'd say they have been pretty stable for the last decade, maybe with slight fluctuations up and down in the meantime. Obviously the mileage of the cheapest one is now quite a bit higher than it was 10 years ago. Incidentally the cheapest Speciale was also c. 215k at the same time and the cheapest one now 340k (again higher mileage and incidentally the same color scheme as the one I looked at at the time - now private sale vs. then from main dealer).

Not in the UK.

This is lovely. Just the black plastic elements that detract.

can you get OEM replica carbon parts?

There were no OEM exterior carbon parts other than the side sills, the front splitter and the central blade of the rear diffuser (and possibly the mirror caps IIRC).

Any F12 with full exterior carbon (particularly the parts around the exhaust boxes) will be resorting to after market parts (which are usually available to order).

As said above the F12 was built before Ferrari had worked out how to gouge their buyers by telling them the CF was such a desirable and/or required extra for every unnecessary panel. Very few F12s have any exterior CF at all.

Run out to C&M at Ampthill yesterday

Fine Wine indeed! Grigio Ferro?

[FFinally]

Spot on. About 18 months in - intending to take it to Monza for the GP later this year.

They will treat you like a King there. Just looking at the 12 C Spider article, how far Ferrari designs from Manzoni in-house have fallen from the Pininfarina days. That F12 is spot on and I didn’t think so at the launch, thought it was bland looking, but 10 yrs later, wow to my eyes and my Rose Tinted Glasses! Enjoy Italy in a F12.

It just looks better 'quality' than the plastic trim used.

the majority for sale on auto trader have been on since mid last year with an average price drop of 5-14% in that 6 month period.

seems like the most desirable specs are selling but the average F12 (rosso red with carbon and sub 20k miles with average options ticked) isn't moving and markets are soft.

Looks like Sevenoaks ferrari just sold one in Grigio Titanio Metall, I drive past every day and only saw it on the forecourt last week. About 20k miles and on for £155. I bought mine from them 2 years ago for the same price and mileage so mkt seems fine coming into spring. Nice colour if anyone on here bought it, the colour looks a lot more blue in person, the photos online don’t do it justice

Couldn’t agree more about the market.. wasn’t this the car that was listed wrong and it’s Grigio Alloy and not Grigio Titanio, and that’s why it has a very blue hue to it?

[JJ77]

Just checked, yes you are right its Grigio Titanio, beautiful colour, think I prefer Grigio Silverstone or Ferro on a F12. Lucky new owner
