Re: 488 GTB/GTS
RC:One reason I am thinking to finally get that R8 V10 Plus I always wanted, found a pretty attractive car (basically new but for almost half the money of a new one) and I'm negotiating the details with the dealership but they need to take my GT500 in, which is (of course, it is a US car) a serious problem in Germany. I could sell it privately but this is not really easy (most private buyers are not serious, want just to take a test-drive or to negotiate you down seriously on the price, etc.).
Re. private sales, yes they do take a bit of people interaction, but my experience is you can get a better price, as serious buyers often prefer to deal with the original owner than a dealer who suddenly loses the cars history. A dealer will offer you a discounted price up front; when selling yourself you are in control of the discount, depending of course on the demand for the car.
