Just looked them up, they really suit it. Can we see pictures please?

Congratulations on the purchase.

Given that you have two sets of rims and plan to daily it, do yourself a favour and fit the stock rims with winter tyres.

nice one OP. now we needs some pictures!

[PaulCar1]

Good read of comments - thank you.

I bought the car yesterday. I am surprised by a lot of points about this car… mainly the sound from the “small v6” engine.

As for my 2,000 mile point... that is purely for work. I will also be driving it more at the weekends etc, but have a few other cars too, so just being realistic.

congrats, I think it is the prettiest normal (i.e. not 7-digits) Ferrari since the 355 and one of the few modern ones I would actually like to own.

[Super Sonic]

Congrats, enjoy your car! You may find your annual milage goes up, as you take the 'scenic route' back from the corner shop!

How is the car op? Any pics?

I think you did very well. Matt Armstrong just paid £100k for this and its a wreck

I guess the 150k is what ferrari offered him to trade it in. Not a good look for anyone thinking of buying a new one as it’s only 10 months old…..Good buy for you though, enjoy!

I sold a year older one back to trade recently for 30k more, so he got a bargain, but clearly 24k miles is impactful

Feels like mid £180ks is the market price for these at the moment, going from the above and recent online auctions.

Both that went at auction with CC were £192k and £195k respectively with fees, trade in my experience was £180k, dealer entry level price is circa £199k.

They represent a stonking buy for the money, nothing close with 830bhp and similar performance. Mix in 7 years included servicing ……

Get on with it and don't delay is my opinion.

This mileage lark is just BS propogated by the dealers and private buyers get scared.

It's a car. It'll be fine. Don't spend money on warranties - self insure with a few quid in the bank.

Take it to a good indie or a dealer since it still has warranty and pay for a report.

If you're going to be worried day and night, this is not the move for you imo.
Have fun mate

Good job. You won't regret. It is an awesome thing. It should still be in warranty but I would extend at the end.

[Not Ideal]

Great buy.
Mileage would be a total non issue for me.
