I agree. He's always struck me as a person with a strong sense of gratitude for where he is and what he's accomplished. A custodian of his family business and his Ferrari collection.
@@dagnut People like this wont sit on cash, its not as important to them as it is to normal people, appreciating assets like the Laferrari is much more desireable
David is a man of integrity...and he understands the emotions that cars can evoke. Looking forward to you getting a LaFerrari back into your collection David.
From what I've seen in your videos, you've established yourself by applying diligence and respect to anything that you do. Walking the walk. It's a difficult path to take in life, and speaking candidly I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to do the same. Probably not. Even here, you are simply sticking to what you always do. That kindness will definitely find its way back to you.
You certainly seem to be a genuine person, and a person of integrity, Mr. Lee. It’s not too often you see people who have attained great wealth and success hold those attributes in such regard. I look forward to seeing the next one!
I really like David. Selling the car back to the original owner out of respect and a genuine understanding, is a class act to say the least. Ferrari should keep you pinned to the top of the list for any new products.
@@milesconradi5899 I'm not sure if any concrete answer has ever been given, but I think it has to do with the fact that he spent $1 million modifying his Dino, which Ferrari doesn't look too kindly at.
David as painful as it is to sell it, you have my respect, you’re a true gentleman and I’m sure we will see another beautiful Ferrari added to you incredible collection. Enjoy.
i was upset when i saw your instagram post but after watching the video it makes sense. you are truly an admirable human being David. a man who keeps his word means everything especially in to todays world/ Much respect to you and looking forward to seeing your next LAF :)
Hopefully Ferrari watched this and took on board the kind of person you clearly are David. If I was a brand executive making decisions on who and who not would get allocated their cars, I would be putting you at the top of the list. An absolute ambassador for the beautiful machines they create, a man of his word and one that shares his passion for his collection freely with the world, where so many just rack them and stack them like chips in a casino ready to cash in. I've always loved watching your content David and as with today, often revisit older videos, so thank you once again for sharing your collection.
The LaFe is my dream car, once I get mine I will never sell it 💙 but the story changes if you keep a “promise”, I can understand that and you are a genuine gentleman.
I understand where you are coming from. After I purchased my 458 I heard through the grapevine that the prior owner wanted it back. Yes, they are sentimental vehicles. I could sell now and do very well perhaps but it is so hard to let it go. Nice video. Regards, Scott
@@vika0194 Not only is everything about money (see: McLaren) you also need to compare models and see what they have that others don’t. New Ferraris are turbo charged, poorly designed, and have way too many electronics. The last thing you ever want to deal with a Italian super car is a computer issue. The naturally aspirated dual clutch 458 will become very collectible as the last great Ferrari of this generation.
it takes a great amount of sentimental feelings to get go of something you treasured... im happy that you take the previous owner request respectfully and honoring your words. great respect to you
A true gentleman. This is the sign of respect for the car and respect for the marque. A true enthusiast will always have compassion and understanding for other enthusiasts.
You are definitely graceful. No doubt about it. I appreciate in your videos how you never ramble about things that you think you cannot do or that cannot be done, instead you find ways to stay motivated and chip away at the goal.
I couldn't believe it when I read the thumbnail. But I said David will not click bait. Now I can understand perfectly, and what I always said is that David is a very humble man and this is a perfect example. Such a good man.
That White/Black Daytona in the 3 watch shot is absolutely gorgeous! Don't get me wrong, the Pepsi GMT Master 2 is beautiful itself, but I'd go for the Daytona :) This video just helps solidify your image as an upstanding guy, David. Looking forward to seeing the new Laf in the future!
Yooo, how am I seeing this channel now? He gives off that Manny vibes for some reason. He doesn't do too much, but just enjoys his life and cars. Love it.
I can't believe how chill you are about it. It's not even my car and it's breaking my heart. It's such a nice example with all the signatures. These cars are always appreciating so I hope he compensated you fairly and you can buy another one
It might sting a bit in the short term but you’ll replace it with another, in the gentlemanly stakes you’ve way up there, all credit to you for doing such a nice thing 👍
David, I have to tell you. That is the most respectably human reason I have ever I have ever heard for someone to sell a beloved automobile. Your passion is as a collector of these fine cars and Ferrari specifically. You genuinely appreciate the quality and significance of these beautiful creations of automotive and technological art. As a Ferrari collector, the LaFerrari is an important car of which you do not have another. But for sentimental reason of that original owner, celebrity or not, you sell him back his car. Obviously he could go out and buy whatever he wanted. But, sentiment is motivating his desire and you readily accommodate the guy. That right there tells me all I need to know about the type of person you are my friend. You are the sort of people I truly appreciate in this world because your empathy extends beyond your personal motivations. And as things progress for me in life, you are definitely someone I would like to know. Really good stuff. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
David, you are an extremely classy gentleman and it comes through the camera every time you are on. With that being said, what you are doing here is an “incredibly” classy thing.
@@martinafghahi He made a video. Basically he worked with his dad to make diamonds for jewelers which didn’t have very good margins to begin with but the economy died and they were forced to start making their own jewelry or loose their business entirely. That’s when they started selling watches and David never sold a single fake or unauthorized Rolex. Now he’s one of their biggest dealers in his mega store with many other brands and doing extremely well. He worked his way up slowly and never cheated.
Man this is the exact car that Daddy Doug reviewed. Out of the 3 holy trinities, I love the LaFerrari. One of the best looking car of all time, including my favorite 80s car, the F40!
I doubt this can be made public without getting the original owner in trouble. That guy's ex-wife can claim the car wasn't sold for the highest market value and she's owed her share of the profits.
That’s just a tick Asian men do sometimes. I’ve noticed it with other presenters. You have to be respectful and a good listener in life. Sometimes the most annoying person to listen to has the best advice that will make you rich.
Ethical Question! In a situation like this if the car has appreciated in value.. do you sell at market price? Or the same price it was brought out of good will? Friendship or business takes trump in a situation as this?
I thought of buying the LaFerrari as my first car. I hope it's possible for me int he future. Probably a used one I'm finding for. Well I hope everyone could achieve their dreams to buy their dream cars. Stay safe everyone
Very commendable of you to honor your word. I can understand how circumstances might force or impose on someone to part with a beloved car against that person's best wishes. And I totally understand how important and meaningful it will be for that individual to get it back. Kudos to you and may you receive many blessings for this small yet significant gesture towards the original owner.
What Car should I Buy Next!??
Monza SP2!
LaFerrari Aperta
Tom Hartley LaF Aperta with FXX-K wheels
Not sure, but I know it will be another red LaFerrari of some sort
koenigsegg 😉😉
Could see the pain in his eyes to let it go. A man of his word. Brilliant human being.
I agree. He's always struck me as a person with a strong sense of gratitude for where he is and what he's accomplished. A custodian of his family business and his Ferrari collection.
Letting go of a car is like losing a family member, I know the feeling. Even tho my cars were supercheap lol
No really you never sell a la Ferrari, if you had a fan of Ferrari....
I'm sure 3 million dollars will soften the blow
@@dagnut People like this wont sit on cash, its not as important to them as it is to normal people, appreciating assets like the Laferrari is much more desireable
A man who honors his word, it's rare these days.
Agree 💯
I honor my words too!
You need a better world
That is why he’s successful ... his word is his bond.
Haha the guy just offered him more money
That’s how a true gentleman’s drive should act, with class!
Exactly right! This guy has honor!
@@Shift2Movies he gave I assume Robert his word.
I don't think a gentleman would have that guy's business on youtube like this.
That's a very honest reason to sell it David!
Can't wait to see your the next LaF!
Lee should buy a red Aperta. Come on David! 5 million+ but worth it for a collector like you. The Aperta is the one to have
@ScatPackGER 392 but David did in fact ask. In the pinned comment.
@@saidalas7763 as long as he actually drives it
Very honorable thing to do. I'm not sure how common this is amongst the elite collectors, but seeing it represented here is wholesome and refreshing.
Something similar just happened to Randy from Savage Garage with the Huayra
David is a man of integrity...and he understands the emotions that cars can evoke. Looking forward to you getting a LaFerrari back into your collection David.
Thanks Kev ! It’s actually back already ! Check it out right here 👉 th-cam.com/video/g12H8nFnuDM/w-d-xo.html
Big respect for selling it. I hope you will buy another LAF but now an Aperta :)
My exact thoughts!

I always thought he has a LaF Aperta… damn.. his collection doesn’t have a LaFerrari?? That’s tough!!
He had a Laferrari.
Ferrari no longer gives limited ferrari to him. So, he dosen't have Laferrari aperta, Monza sp.

Time to buy an FXXK Evo converted road legal version
Mad respect for selling the car back. Super cool move.
....at a massive profit

The LaFe is my dream car, once I get mine I will never sell it 💙 but the story changes if you keep a “promise”, I can understand that and you are a genuine gentleman.
You’ve gone to great lengths to assemble the dream team, but while you still have Magic, Bird, Kareem, and Kobe (RIP), you’re forced to trade away MJ.
The F40 is MJ. He's trading away LeBron!
Definitely Robert’s allocation

Never let your 458 go. They’ll go up in value forever. They are better cars than most of the current models.

Im glad Robert is doing well as well, he is my most favorite Shark... After Mr Wonderful ofc
You'll just have to buy it back when Robert gets divorced again.
LMAO!!!
Maybe Robert the Shark had to sell it during his first divorce settlement
Robert will never use it properly like David did.

That's incredibly nice of you, I'm sure he's very happy to get it back. I think Ferrari themselves should hook you up with an Aperta now ;-)

Fantastic video's David! Its refreshing to see such professional content on youtube in comparison to a lot of the other stuff out there.
Good on you for being such a stand up person! That will get paid forward, which it did when you originally got the car! Well done by you!😎👊🥂

Great 👍🏻, thank you for taking us on your last ride
I hope you got a really good price and I'm sure the new one you get will be perfect.
This made me emotional.. What a humble person..
Sir, your F-40 is quite important to me on an emotional level. I can't "quite" afford it, but please drop it off 😉
Hilarous!

What’s more interesting is that these cars went from $1.5m msrp up to about 3-5m. Wonder what it was bought and sold for between these two.
