    Sold

    What's the deal with this one? Salvage title perhaps? Looked way too clean for $90k

    Nevermind looks like it just needed servicing. I wonder to what extent?

    I think this begs the question: If this 37K mile car was serviced and ready to go, what's would it be worth? Was there room between this number and $89,500 for a potential bargain?

    As per the Euro market, the cheapest 550 you'll find has about 75,000 miles and the asking price is exactly $100,750 USD with todays exchange rate of 1.11750.

    Any fairly sorted example, this side of the pond, that has sub-40k miles and is listed below $100k USD is a steal in my opinion...unless the bottom of the market is falling out and asking prices are grossly over enthusiastic.

    Perhaps the new owners of these "sold-as-is" bargain cars from Gullwing will eventually post here and let us know what it actually takes to sort them out... :)

    Are there possible issues of course but while I wanted one of these id have to trade my 355 and they didnt act interested at all, they had cash deposites in less than 24 hrs. More like 14 hrs these were sold.

    according to the latest Forza Magazine, these 550's that doubled in price rapidly, are coming back down to pre 2015 levels.

    Nice car but the seats and upper dash have clearly been been retrimmed and the trimmer wasn't able to truly replicate the factory design.

    This Bordeaux interior features the factory Daytona seats.

    You should be able to see the central 'spine' run right down to the front of the seat squab.

    This is the subject car...I can see an extra seam on the upper dash binnacle (near the third circular air vent) and the truncated spines and fewer perforated 'ribs' on the Daytona-inspired replacement seat covers.

    I see it. Looks well done though. Wonder why they would not make it accurate? And, at the end of the day, if a car has driver miles on it and is maintained and repaired - does it really matter?

    A 199 mph, front engine, V12, throttle cable, gated stick, clutch pedal, no cruise control, no cup holder, no nav, etc. equals current classic. Drive one if you don't believe it.
