Consign or Value Your Ferrari at Ferrari of Boca Raton
Get both numbers before you decide.
Send the car’s details and the team will come back with a consignment target and a trade-in figure — two real numbers, not two ideas.
Ferrari consignment means the dealer markets and sells your car while you keep ownership until it sells, usually at a retail price. A trade-in means the dealer buys it outright and immediately, at a wholesale-based figure, applied against your next purchase.
Consignment optimises for the number, a trade-in for certainty. Everything else follows from that.
Your Ferrari stays in your name and sells to a retail buyer against a target price you agree with the dealer.
What you buy is access: buyer traffic, presentation, and the ability to have the car certified to Ferrari Approved standards, which retail buyers pay more for. What you give up is the timeline — the car sells when the right buyer appears, not on a date you pick.
Six stages, intake to payout.
Submission
Market Valuation
Priced from live market data.
Inspection and Preparation
Prepared to Certified Pre-Owned standards. This is the stage that moves the number.
Studio Media and Listing
Professional photography, then national exposure.
Buyer Qualification
Enquiries screened before anyone sees the car.
Closing and Payout
The dealer appraises your Ferrari, makes a firm offer and buys it, usually alongside your next car. Because they carry the resale risk, the figure sits below retail.
One piece is easy to overlook. In Florida a dealer trade-in generally reduces the amount of your new purchase subject to sales tax, and on a Ferrari-to-Ferrari deal that credit can close much of the gap. Ask the store and your accountant to model it.
Select non-Ferrari vehicles may also be considered, and selling privately remains a third route — with the screening and paperwork falling to you.
Six places the two routes actually diverge.
You do, until it sells to a retail buyer
The dealer, from the day you hand it over
A retail target you agree, from market data
A firm offer, based on wholesale value
However long the right buyer takes
Same visit, once appraised
An agreed fee, plus any preparation
Nothing directly. The cost is the lower figure
The dealer screens, shows, negotiates
Nobody. There is no buyer to manage.
Paid after the sale closes

Consignment usually wins on gross. Net depends on the fee, any preparation, and the tax treatment of what you buy next.
Pricing comes from comparable sales, current listings, and how fast similar cars are moving.
You agree on a target and the agreement sets the fee. Price it too high and the car sits — a stale listing is hard to recover.
Documentation matters more than mileage. A car with continuous records outsells a lower-mileage example with gaps. Deferred service reads as a discount. Anything a pre-purchase inspection would flag costs less to fix now than to negotiate later. Specification and color do the rest.
Is a firm number today worth more to you than the market’s best number later?
The records are complete and you are not working to a deadline.
You would rather the market set the price than accept a wholesale figure.
You are taking delivery of your next car and want this one handled with it.
A firm figure today is worth more to you than a higher figure later.
No. The car sits at the dealership so it can be prepared, photographed and shown. You keep ownership until it sells, but not daily use.
Nobody can honestly quote a date. A well-priced car in a wanted specification with complete records moves far faster than an ambitiously priced one with gaps.
Not always. Compare it net of the fee, any preparation, and the trade-in tax credit if you are buying something else. Ask the store to model both.
Usually, but the payoff is handled at closing, so raise the lender details at intake rather than at the end. Same for a trade-in.
Address anything a buyer’s inspection would flag. A serious buyer will commission a pre-purchase inspection, and a finding discovered then costs more in renegotiation than it would have cost to fix.
Select non-Ferrari vehicles may be considered. Submit the details through the valuation form and the sales team will confirm.
