Dealer Inspections
One of the more common bargaining tools in automotive purchases is a dealer inspection. This “unbiased” third party offers to certify the vehicle in question is legitimate, albeit for a fee. Buyers argue that a few hundred bucks upfront could save them from several thousand should the deal turn sour.
Several hundred dollars is exactly what you’ll be paying for a Ferrari dealership inspection. You’ll also need to schedule in advance to ensure availability. Note that while you can easily share your report with your interested buyer, any official documentation requires a separate charge equal to what you paid for the report.
Ferrari dealers do this largely in part because they can. They know that a nod of approval from their department could mean more to a Ferrari owner than just peace of mind.
Dealerships
Hooking a potential buyer through for-sale-by-owner ads is not a pastime for the weak. Some people prefer to work with a dealership instead, where the money to purchase a Ferrari like yours is typically in abundance.
The key to working with dealerships is knowing exactly what you want and having the confidence to walk out when you don’t get it. You can argue all day with a salesman that your Ferrari is worth more than they offer you, but until you’ve got a genuine offer in hand, it’s all for nothing.
Visiting luxury dealerships can potentially get you ahead. Many of the customers who frequent these dealerships have money, that is, the same money to potentially pay for your Ferrari. Whether or not the dealership has a buyer on the hook for a Ferrari like yours is a question only they can answer.
It’s common for a lot of folks to avoid dealerships, however, for the load of fees and add-ons that turn an affordable car into one that’s already broken the budget. If you want to get more for your Ferrari, chances are you’re better off avoiding both dealerships and selling your Ferrari private party.
Online Automotive Retailers
Much of car buying has now become an online game, where online retailers work directly with customers to purchase and sell cars. If you’re a Ferrari owner, not having to visit a dealership or meet with potentially sketchy third parties can be a godsend. An online retailer can simplify the entire process.
However, popular automotive retailers such as Carvana and Vroom aren’t necessarily any more equipped to purchase your Ferrari than a Honda brick-and-mortar dealership would be. These types of dealerships typically prosper from sales of run-of-the-mill cars like Toyotas and Nissans. A Ferrari in the mix isn’t unheard of, it’s just not ideal.
Chances are, there aren’t too many people who say, “I’m going to buy my Ferrari online.” Most Ferrari people aren’t necessarily those who frequent online automotive retailers. Instead, they’re looking for an authoritative source to get top-quality goods like your supercar.
That’s where exotic/supercar car retailers come in. For example, We Buy Exotics states our mission clearly in our name. Looking to sell your Ferrari for a fair price without all the hassle? We’ve got you covered.
