My point is that this is a wonderful car and a great buy.\r\n\r\nI would disagree on the actual cost of acquiring this car by a non dealer. The BAT Buyer's premium fee is 5% capped at $7,500, Ferrari factory warranty is good for 3 years unless extended. usually the power warranty is extended for 1 or 2 years only. I do not recall what the balance of the remaining warranty is on this car or if it was listed. Most Ferrari dealers will want to get between 12 to 24 months of the factory warranty. Most buyers will want a PPI and will incur costs to transport the Ferrari. I would imagine most non dealer buyers will incur sales tax.\r\n\r\nAgain, the point is that the cost to purchase such an amazing vehicle is well above the \"winning bid\" but in the case of a spectacular Ferrari 488 it is money well spent !", "likes": 5, "timestamp": 1715891644, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14464877, "authorName": "apexlifenc", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/apexlifenc/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Thanks everyone for the comments and feedback.
