anything is negotiable Matt, now its more justifiable to the wife if they agree to a significant price decrease or tell them to fix everthing included with the agreed price | ||

Matt, you should do a car fax on the car regardless of the seller's good statements. I am almost positive that EBay has the VIN listed and you can get a free car fax this weekend. See this link http://www.carfax.com/cfm/promo.cfm?name=nbc4 | ||

Steve, The chassis number was Something 2226 If I recall. It's an 85. I have not spent that much time with it to go over the car. At the PPI I will get all the info. Wife is really mad. If you come to the house, you DO NOT mention Ferrari or Lamboghini. that will get you (and me) thrown out of the house | ||

Matt, I told my wife that I was planning on adding a Diablo and Testarossa this year to my collection and she got pissed. I finally was able to settle her down by promising her a Boxter. Maybe something similar would work for you. Yes it is definately more meaty looking in a good way. What number is yours? Regards, steve | ||

DES, I also see the bar...somehow I thought you were speaking of the picture above that one and I thought, yes this car does hall ass. This is, however, the first time I am hearing about the bar. Not all 360's have the bar, do they? How do you use "the bar." Perhaps those who know can enlighten us. | ||

Matt, Good Job!! I also have a white Jalpa as well as a 308. The Jalpa has an awesome engine sound. You will also notice it is a much bigger car. You have to see them in person. Pictures don't do them justice. I have had mine for about 10 years with no problems and love it. Hope the PPI goes well. If you have any questions let me know. Regards, Steve | ||

Bob, yes you can drive it. Ron, You can drive the 308 and the Jalpa Peter, The car has been in Calif but there is a Canadian connection. The owner was talking about it but I and JL were a bit confused about it. Wayne I will bring it by when I get it. It will have it's PPI in about 2 weeks. The owner is going out of town and will do it when he get's back. Wife is ticked because it is yet another 2 seater car that leaks fluid, and will break down that will have me spends hours upon hours in the garage working on it. She did put the hammer down by saying one has to go. Cars a a very, VERY, VERY, VERY sore subject in our house. | ||

Matt, with the new car just a few days ago, about the only way I could pay for your car is if I got my own job and put about 1,200 on it a year lol. I wouldnt want to ask you to take payments that long Im actually looking for my first job, so we will see how it goes...Even if I made the money myself, I dont know if my parents would let me do it | ||

Was this car a U.S. car all it's life? I remember seeing years ago back in Montreal @ John Scotti (http://www.johnscotti.com) a white/white Jalpa... It did and still does look gorgeous. Congrats Matt! | ||

Intermediate Member Username: Sickspeed Post Number: 2236 Registered: 8-2002 |
Matt, congratulations, this is a really nice car... You sent me the link hours ago, but i didn't have a chance to respond- i DID, however, have a chance to look at the pictures... Which is what i'm doing now, too... i've never seen a Jalpa before... To be perfectly honest, if i saw this on the street, i would walk right by it, thinking it was some import of any given sort, given it's boxy nature- that and the fact that i've NEVER seen a Lamborghini with such square lines and corners... The car looks really nice, though... i like that it's a convertible- does it take a year and a day to get the top off like some other exotics...? Is it hard to see out of the mirror, through that tiny, back window...? The interior looks great- no cup holders, though, huh...? Tsk... That letter you posted a picture of, like you said, states that there are only 7 with a white interior... But it also goes on to state that there are only 10 with a white exterior... Exactly how many are there that are white on white...? All in all, it's a very nice car- if i ever make it out there, i'd love to see it... Oh... 9th picture from the top, what does everyone see...? i see something and it tells me that this car hauls ass- i noticed it in a 360 after someone here on FerrariChat mentioned it and when i saw it on the 360, i laughed out loud- does anyone know what i'm talking about...? i wish i could remember who mentioned it... LOL, it's just funny... | ||

Matt, that is one sweet car. A few days ago I saw it while lurking on ebay and thought it was just awsome. I had never seen a white one before, not to mention white on white, and that car just looked great. I've seen Jalpas before at Monterey, but never heard or sat in one. I'm sure it sounds great. Perhaps I'll get to see it one day, Congrats!!! | ||
