Default Sold 2005 Carrera GT

I just sold my 2005 Carrera GT through Richard Sloan (Sloancars) in CT.
Fayence yellow/drk. grey, XL seats, about 575 miles (quite low).
No stories and perfect in every way.
Received $420,000 from sale to a Canadian buyer.
Sloan did a good job, as I think it is a good price.
Low miles the key here, I think.
Regards,
Ray

It's more like Ferrari' "Fly Yellow". Almost exactly, in fact.
See the picture posted above...

Wow, no joy in putting miles on it? That's a good price, but you're right - low mileage was key to that.

Sorry, but they were built to put miles on. I know someone who went on a roadtrip in a weekend putting more miles on than that. What was it Ferdinand once said?

I agree with you. I have just acquired a 2005 that has only 956 miles on it which is ridiculous. I traded in a 2004 Ferrari Challenge Stradale that I had put 15k miles on

I simply cannot fathom the miles.... I put 60K miles combined on my cars each year... Simply cannot fathom even 15K in 8 years...

Well the Stradale was not my primary car. My primary car gets 30k per year

Ironic that this turned into a drive vs resale value debate. I presume the original intent was to advertise sloancars. How much of the $420K went to the them?
