There is a euro M6 in Hickory, NC at Mich's Foreign Car Sales. Car was owned by an enthusiast, low mileage...it's a beast. If you're interested email me @ [email protected]

John, call me at work on Monday. I know a guy that has two for sale. One has around 35k miles and the other one only around 5k miles. They are both great looking and well cared for. |

Thanks for the warning, Jeff. My uncle said the same thing. He is currently restoring a 635CSI. He said the M parts are twice the money. So far, the lowest milage one I've found has 70K miles. |

Clarifications:
1. I don't know yet how my relationship with the FCA will be affected yet. Anyone interested in being the GA Chapter President? It's really not a bid deal.
2. I don't know how quickly this will all happen. Right now I plan to attend ICD.
3. When I get my next Ferrari, it will not greatly affect my daily driver. I really want a 540 or a M5. I'm setteling on a M6 for now so Natalie can get a new Tahoe.
4. Why the importance of the new Tahoe: Our family has two vacation homes on the Gulf. Most of our traveling is at night and the only other life we see for the last 2 hours of driving are deer. A breakdown would be disasterous with no mechanics within 80 miles, no cell coverage and a screaming child. And, all our crap won't fit in a 8 year old Explorer anymore (with transmission problems for the third time).
5. What I will not be doing is giving the Ferrari away. We are prepard to wait 'till spring to get the price we feel the car deserves to bring. |

Find a good one if you can, PPI probably VERY important with this.
I had a friend who bought and did do a PPI on an M6.
It became a money pit as parts for the 6 was up there. The newer Beemers have gotten a bit more realistic, but the older series is costly. My friend said he felt like a sailor....the day you buy yada yada the day you sell.
He never did get what he wanted when he sold, and it took a long while to sell it.
But he did buy a 2002 M3

Well, it's a long story. First of all, now that we have a child, the Ferrari never gets used. Second, the Ferrari is a bone of contention between my wife & I (especially since it drags me away from her & child & she never gets to ride). It does look real good in the garage though. But that's where it sits. I can't drive the Ferrari to work, which is a 70 mile trip each day visiting construction sites (trust me, I can't). My daily beater 300E just doesn't do it for me anymore. So then there is the wife's car. She needs a new one. Her's is a '95 and we need something a bit more dependable for trips. We also want to buy a camper to tow. Covenants require the camper to be in the garage where the Ferrari sits. We just can't afford for me to own a car I can't use right now (my business is only 10 months old). If I had had a 308, or a job closer to home, things may have been different. When things take off and I can get a 3-car garage, I'll get a 355, 360 or 550 for sure. I'm not out of the game for good. I have always been a Ferrari man, and always will be. Honestly, I thought real hard about the M6 choice. I'd rather trade for a 456, but, they are too expensive. |

Yup. I'm going to sell the 328 (see profile) and buy an old M6. Anyone know where I can find one?
Frank - Do you think the guy at your church would consider parting with one of his M6s?
I'll buy a 550 as soon as the price is just a bit lower. |
