Hi guys,

Thanks for the kind words Martin...I hope Paul likes the spider.

I agree you have to be careful with eBay..Lord knows I have been burned there too....

In this case, we are trying out some different marketing techniques....sounds cheesy, but it seems to be working if you guys are talking about it :-) I have listed f-cars before on ebay and nobody noticed (except Jim!...my TR)

As for the paint....I picked up the car from another dealer and it had a ton of scratches and chips and some "spotted in" areas and didn't look right. I decided to do the paint job, but we did it right (total disassembly...even the glass) and it is hard to find a paint line on it. Even went in and reinforced the front bumper cover. Cost a pretty penny too. Since we were "doing it right" we went ahead and did the 30K service (although I tried to sell it without...but that went over like a lead ballon). The car is a late 1990 build (July 1990) so most of the updates are there (alternator, motronic 2.7, etc.)

Anyway, if anyone has any questions, feel free to call me or email me.

Best,
Mike

Ken,
I can vouch for this car. It is excellent. Mike is Mike Grande and he is an excellent guy. This car is great and has a full engine out service etc. You can buy this car for $ 51,000 by calling him. You will NOT be disappointed. I just finished a deal with mike and he does it like me, out of passion not a living!

Nice photos, but you have to be careful with E-Bay. Also, I owned an 89 348TS and although it had better creatur comforts than my 328, it was no where near as good a driver.Early 348 had stability issues at 100+ mph and this car inspired no confidence. Also,repairs are more $$ with a 348. If I were looking in that price range, I would seek an 1989 328, w/ abs, I think he will be much happier in the long run.

The owner is on this site. Mike Charness I think. He sells various cars from time to time.

Think he did a repaint due to scratches and rock chips.

The ad seems to be catering to someone who knows nothing about Ferraris; always a bad sign in my opinion. And why would a car with 29k miles and less than 13 years need new paint???
