PRIVATE SELLER - Just lowered price!
This is an absolutely beautiful Ferrari - inside and out - BLACK ON BLACK and is priced to sell! It has been immaculately taken care of front to back. This is a head-turner no matter where you go! ONLY reason I am selling it is to get a Porsche GT3 or GT4 so I will consider trade plus.
YOU MUST PROVIDE A BANK ISSUED LETTER OF CREDIT TO COME SEE AND DRIVE THIS CAR - NO EXCEPTION. THIS IS A PRIVATE SELL - I AM NOT A DEALER!
Located in Auburn AL, this ALL BLACK on BLACK 2011 Ferrari California gets its name from the original 250 California Spyder, of Ferris Bueller movie fame. It’s Ferrari’s first retractable hardtop, and like the 612 Scaglietti, Ferrari bills it as a grand tourer — with driver-friendly features like Bluetooth, iPod compatibility, a backup camera and a navigation system. It has a 4.3-liter V-8 and Formula One-derived stability system with 460+ horsepower! This 2011 has the new six-speed manual transmission with paddle shifters.
EXTERIOR:
With a face that looks closer to the rest of Ferrari’s lineup than the 458 Italia, the low-slung California is slightly longer but narrower than its immediate sibling. The grille hangs low on the bumper, with a small hood scoop above it. In back, single LED taillights sit above four exhaust pipes — two stacked vertically on each side.
The aluminum hardtop deploys in just 14 seconds — quicker than most exotic car folding hardtops - and it takes up just 3.5 cubic feet of the trunk’s 12.0-cubic-foot capacity. Nineteen-inch alloy black wheels with custom Ferrari yellow valve stem covers. Behind them, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes measure a massive 15.4 inches up front and 14.2 inches in back.
Exterior features include:
INTERIOR:
The California’s interior is black leather and comes standard with a rear storage shelf and small rear seats. Like in other Ferrari models, the California’s steering wheel includes push-button start and a toggle switch that sets transmission response, stability control intervention and settings for the optional adaptive suspension to one of three settings: Comfort, Sport and Stability/Traction Off.
Dual-zone climate control, a navigation system, aluminum accents and power-adjustable seats are all included; among the options are adaptive headlights and heated front seats.
Interior features include:
UNDER THE HOOD:
Typical of Ferrari engines — naturally aspirated, with sky-high horsepower per liter — the California’s 4.3-liter V-8 makes 460 hp at a howling 7,750 rpm and 357 pounds-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm. The engine sits just behind the front axle and drives the rear wheels through an F1-style seven-speed automated manual transmission that has an automatic shift mode or can be shifted with steering-wheel paddles. The California hits 60 mph in less than 4 seconds (we hit 3.88) while taking the quarter-mile in 12.2 seconds.(have not tested). This Ferrari drives the absolute best over 100 mph - smooth, light, and handles beautifully.
Mechanical features include:
453-horsepower, 4.3-liter V-8 with 460+ horsepower and 357 pounds-feet of torque
Seven-speed automated manual transmission with automatic shift mode and steering-wheel shift paddles
SAFETY
Standard safety features include:
Side-impact airbags
Antilock brakes
Electronic stability control

WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT:
With all cars, including exotic, that are eight years old, small nicks and scratches usually exist. This car has minimum nicks on it (I've seen two) and both are very minor. No dings or dents on car anywhere. Like most Ferrari's, the front top dash leather has shrunk (notorious on ALL Ferrari's) but none is ripped/torn nor does it look bad. Literally that is it - can't find anything else wrong with the car! Again, this is one of the smoothest driving exotics I've ever owned.
