FOR SALE: On offer is this beautiful 2012 Ferrari California. In a sea of red Ferraris, this Nero Black over Nero California stands out and the color really shows off the beautiful lines of this 2+2 convertible. In fact, most fans consider Black/Black as the best color combination on the California! This car is in excellent condition inside, outside, and mechanically. It includes everything - complete tools, complete jack kit, tire inflator, owner's manual, keys, etc. If you're serious about finding the right California, this is the car for you.
The car has been properly serviced including the most recent performed at Ferrari. Beginning in 2012, Ferrari offered a complimentary Seven-Year Maintenance Program and this car has that in place so you won't have to worry about paying for service for another couple of years!
Please read through the detailed description and have a look at the numerous photos we've posted. If you have any questions about the car, don't hesitate to email. If you're interested in seeing it in person, contact us to sort out a time to meet. If you would like to have a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) done, please contact us and we can assist with those arrangements. OWNERSHIP/SERVICE HISTORY: Our research has determined this car to have had only one owner. The first owner purchased the car brand new in summer of 2012 and he kept it a through summer of 2016 - covering only 15k miles over those four years. Service records indicate the car was properly serviced at Ferrari during the first owner's possession.
EXTERIOR: The outside of this Nero Ferrari California is in absolutely gorgeous condition and will definitely not disappoint. Factory Scuderia Shields accent the beautiful sweep of the front fenders and neatly show the car's heritage. In addition, the car is equipped with optional 20” Diamond Finish Sport Wheels that look fantastic. Close inspection indicates the rear bumper and rear quarter have been painted at some point and the work was well done. Both doors, the hood, the trunk, and even the gas door all open/close and latch smoothly. All of the gaps around the car are even, each panel fits as it would have the day it were new, and none of the bolts appear to have 'been turned'. There are some very faint swirl marks from towel drying, but there aren't any significant scratches on the car. Of course there are no dings or dents anywhere either. This is a very nice looking car and we're sure you will agree the exterior is in excellent condition.
The car was regularly detailed and kept very clean outside and underneath... another sign the past owners were careful custodians of this Ferrari.
INTERIOR: This Ferrari has black interior that is accented with white diamond stitching and it's probably the best looking interior on any California I've seen. Starting with the seats, you'll see they are in excellent shape and don't have the typical shrinking or pulling. The seats are also free of bolster damage, and show only the lightest wear. Important to note is these seats haven't been re-dyed. Move to the door panels and you will find the leather is tight and fits just as it should. All of the glass is factory and without blemishes. All of the switches, controls, vent surrounds, console inserts, etc are all dry to the touch and don't have the 'stickies' issue so many Ferraris had. It's immaculate inside and could easily pass for nearly new. Also notice the great options selection this car has including diamond stitched electric seats, heated seats, Interior & Exterior Electrochromatic Mirrors with Homelink System, Cruise control, Parking Camera, Sat/Nav, Xenon lights, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Park Distance Control, and more.
I attribute the great condition of the leather inside to the past owners' use of a reflective windshield screen while the car was parked, as well as being garaged most of it's life. It's important to have these details that you can see so well covered, to be more assured that the underlying care has also been addressed.
MECHANICS: Plain and Simple - this car runs superb. The engine starts up without hesitation and it idles and revs smoothly and without issue. We had the car checked out and our Ferrari mechanic inspecting the car spoke about how well it runs and drives. There were no odd fault codes stored, and there are no issues with check engine lights or any other warning lights. The suspension on this Ferrari is tight and there are no rattles or other noises on side streets or on the highway. The ceramic brakes are superb, and the parking brake works properly too. The transmission shifts without issue up and down through the full gear range, and it does it cold or warm. The clutch engages properly and grips well throughout the RPM range, just as it should. In fact, the clutch measured 83% life remaining when it was scanned three weeks ago. The tires are all brand new so you won't have a tire bill anytime soon. Once again, the car was just serviced so it needs nothing. This car is turn key and ready to go and it comes with the balance of the Ferrari Factory Seven-Year Maintenance Program
IN CLOSING: If there's any questions you have at this point, please email me and I'll get back to you ASAP. We have priced this Ferrari very fairly, and I want to make sure we cover any and all questions you have about the car. If it's your first Ferrari, please make sure you do some research on the owner's forums to understand what you need to look for when buying a California (or any other Ferrari). I'm confident this car will meet and exceed all of your expectations.
Thanks for your time.
