Hi Jeff,

It's me, thanks for selling me the wheels, it's always a pleasure doing business with you guys.

Next time i'm in the UK, i'll stop by for my usual tour, could do with finding some more bargains & rare parts, Richard or Michael usually take me round, anyway, keep those bargains coming, i'm always a buyer!

Yep,

That's us selling that wheel, as well as the SD2.

Considering many other places are flogging that repro daytona wheel for almost $2k, what can i say, i know a good bargain when i see it, that's why i bought it. Someone will buy it, that's for sure, maybe nobody on this site, but like i always say, you only need one buyer.

Oh & Jim, before you go calling someone a "PUTZ" please be a bit respectfull, i have never met you & neither have you met me, so please keep you personal name calling off the list.

Spasso, the reason for the wire transfer is quite simple, i can't take credit card sales for over $3000.00, i could never take a $30,000.00 charge on one credit card. If you read the whole listing, you'll also notice that the buyer can if they choose, collect in person with there amex card or cash, one other detail, i'm not a fly by night outfit, i'm here for the long haul, been a sponsor of the ferrarichat site for 2 years now, 2nd longest sponsor, what have you contributed to Ferrari chat other than try to take a shot at me?

Sometimes you guys can be pretty mean, esp. when it's one of your own!

As to the SD2, take it up with Ferrari, they are the ones that determine the prices, obviously i have marked it up, but just an FYI, i paid a considerable amount of dough for that tester & you know what, when i bought it, it came with no cables, no useable software, nothing, it was useless, can you imagine buying a computer from best buy with no harddrive installed, that's what it was like, it was useless, but i have been able to get it to work with knowledge, and with ZERO help from Ferrari, heck, they don't even know that the F50 software is available, i found that myself.

Lastly, anyone that wishes to buy an SD2, call Ferrari & buy one direct, you'll save quite a bit of cash, but it'll never work the way it's supplied.

Respect always.

Kurt

Dj,

Kurt does actually have the SD2 (and its 5k cheaper on ebay than on Fbooks)although you'll have to make up your own mind on his posted prices, if you want SD2 then get an OBDII cable of ebay for $30 and play with the shareware thats out their!( big clue the ultra rare(hahahaha) lambo software is pretty much identical to the VAG shareware suite! sooooo as Ferrari use a similar ecu setup........... )

Gary are you looking for the owners or workshop manual for your 360?

This reminds me of an e-bay vendor who sold reprinted owener manuals. Same ones that you could download for free from owner.ferrari.com. The site even had the PDF versions in 3 languages. The e-bay guy wanted $199 a pop.
Pays to do your research.

thx

This is funny
This putz is asking for $59.00 for the Gallardo press kit CD. Well hell the stack of press material that is on my desk right now must be worth something. That CD was sent out by the hundreds but it is "Very Rare"
The rest of this looks like something that was stolen from someone's shop. the prices he is asking for everything are really interesting eh?
Wonder if this guy knows Gary Green....
