Mark Moon (Enzomoon) Member Username: Enzomoon Post Number: 303 Registered: 4-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 7:26 am:    Jay: Yes the same seatbelt recall applies to the M. The brakes are different from the 512TR as well. I believe the early 512TRS (1992AND 1993) used non Brembo brakes whereas the 1994 switched to ABS which may be Brembo, I'm not sure. The M brakes are Brembo ABS from what I understand. Jay P. Ross (Eilig) Member Username: Eilig Post Number: 299 Registered: 8-2001 Posted on Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 8:25 pm:    Curious, does anyone know if the 512M had the same seatbelt recall issue as the TR? Also, does the 512M have upgrades brakes from the 512TR?

Buyer beware Wade Eric Stensland Smith (Stenz) New member Username: Stenz Post Number: 2 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 10:32 pm:    I agree that the first thing I thought of when I read the copy was that there was sleaze there. By saying "no visible evidence of..." and "does not appear..." seems like a way of side stepping saying "it had a minor fender bender, but has been fixed up by the right people and now you can't tell". At the bottom left it says modified from the factory... it just reads to me like someone trying to weasel their way around something. Looks very nice though.

Hollywood, FL is only about a 25min drive from Miami.

But, here's what puzzles me about ads like this one. On the one hand, you have statements like no "apparent" damage, odo "does not appear" to have been rolled back and "apparently" garaged. At the same time, in the comments column, the Seller baldly states that the car has "never seen rain." I wonder if the seller will guarantee the "no rain" claim, if nothing else. The ad copy alone justifies a price reduction. allan fiedler (Allanlambo) Intermediate Member Username: Allanlambo Post Number: 1302 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 7:49 pm:    Another nice one!

If Ferrari continued to produce cars in this tradition, we wouldnt have many of the conversations we've had. One of these, and a yellow F40 and i'd be in heaven!( Would also have to have my Diablo and Murcielago) Warren Balla (West662) Junior Member Username: West662 Post Number: 66 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 6:47 pm:    Yes the car is beautiful! BUT, I have never liked the 'M's' rims. Something about that spiral look could never grow on me. Put a set of TR wheels on it, and I'd call it perfect.

Mark Moon (Enzomoon) Member Username: Enzomoon Post Number: 300 Registered: 4-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 5:40 pm:    The car is a Masterpiece.....just can't believe you actually praised it Allan! dave handa (Davehanda) Intermediate Member Username: Davehanda Post Number: 2060 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 3:40 pm:    With the way Ferrari prices are falling, I would think even $130k is high for a 512M. 512TR's seem to be well under $100k these days, so what is the "premium" for a "M"? $15K? $20k? So say $120k, then subtract the $8 for the major and you are at $112k. Man it's easy to speculate when you are neither the buyer or seller... :-) Jim Schad (Jim_schad) Intermediate Member Username: Jim_schad Post Number: 1987 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 3:38 pm:    I would swap out the wheels for some speedlines and that would be perfect. Love the yellow and the flush headlights. Andrew Menasce (Amenasce) Intermediate Member Username: Amenasce Post Number: 1648 Registered: 10-2001 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 3:32 pm:    $160K would be a low mileage car. This car has 21000 miles which is negligeable but a lot in the Ferrari world carlos (Carlos328) New member Username: Carlos328 Post Number: 24 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 3:16 pm:    I talked to the guy selling it. Its on consignment from a doctor in Boca raton, FL. Asking $139,000. 21,000 miles but no 15k service done. I think they want $130,000. Is this price right? I thought this car was worth closer to $160k. allan fiedler (Allanlambo) Intermediate Member Username: Allanlambo Post Number: 1292 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 2:56 pm:    Now that is a Ferrari.
