Thanks Hans: Maybe I am just going to take a deep breath. Not that serious to really spend too much time on this. Appreciate your willingness though. Toying with several things, adding a 355 or 360, looking at the M3 as well as the M5 and also looking at the new G35 sport coupe with a M6 shift just for a fun daily driver. |

NWI seems better than they used to. In the past, they'd take marginal exotics and try to sell them to stupid rich people as "investments". That didn't work, so I think they have been morphing into a legitimate dealer. Last time I was in there, the inventory looked pretty nice. A couple of iffy cars, but they didn't represent them as anything other than iffy. Still doesn't hurt to check, tho.
JScott: I won't have a lot of time, so trying to talk them out of a test drive, etc. may be a little difficult. After Fri am, I won't be near a computer for a week (I'll sure miss all you guys!), so any impressions that I might gather we'll have to discuss over the phone Fri eve or Sat am. I'm no expert, but perhaps I can get a general idea if the car was well kept.
Anyway, get back to me if you want me to drop by. I'd be more than happy to. |

Beware of NWI, a lot of their cars are wrecks or some kind of smeared history. and $79k for a 95 with 26k miles is not a steal, I sold recently a 98 355B F1 with 27 on it for $81k and did well on it. and the F1 was only available in 98 and 99 on the 355. |

I have noticed that the "buy it now" prices are usually about $2-3K over the actual reserve. So offer them $75K then agree on say $77K.....if you move on it and it checks out. Almost sounds cheap! Man when did $77K become cheap? |

That's right, the "Buy it Now" is fairly attractive. Han's, I don't know if I am serious or not. But, if it is not out of your way, I would apprciate your impression of the car. May be willing to trade my 89 328. Don't know if the 30K service done. I will ask them.
Thanks,
Scott |

The current price means nothing... the reserve hasn't been met.... at least not as of right now. |

looks like a good deal at first glance. It is a '95, a Berlinetta with manual (not F1) which seem to be cheaper. I like that combo myself. I saw one for I think $88K a month ago and thought the same thing you are. |
