    Very good buy, the HGTE kit does make quite a large difference in my opinion.

    Yes sir it does!

    I really should've waited a little longer; collected more money and asked them to ship it to me for $130 instead of $132. However, when I continued to hear numerous stories of guys purchasing a storied or even clean car a year or more ago for about the same price as todays - I decided to not take a chance of these things going up or remaining level any longer.

    Had I known all the upgrades and service history of this vehicle - I'd of gladly jumped on it sooner. Thank God no one did the research and thank God I negotiated what I did before learning all the good stuff!!!

    I stumbled upon a great find. Higher mileage, but serviced by the same dealership since new and with the upgrade; I feel as though I have a base model with only 14k miles on it - value wise.

    Henry,

    You picked a great vehicle. I am going to try and negotiate a great price including shipping. Will report to you first thing. What I like about it the most is the mileage has been increased consistently over time - not in spurts will lulls..

    I will first be inquiring about it's last service and then I am going to throw out a number to see how they respond.

    Talk soon!

    I have a 599 and love the car. IMO this car is underappreciated. Beautiful, classic GTB body style, detuned Enzo engine, super comfortable to drive and goes like hell. Right now is the time to buy one as one day the prices will start up. I have some experienced drivers who tell me the 599 is a better car overall than the F12.

    Congratulation Sean! Whats the spec on the car?

    As to the motor being detuned- it is detuned just a little for plumbing reasons and I also think some of the internals on the motor are slightly less exotic. If you want to make some more power look into removing the secondary cats- just know its going to be louder! :)

    Cars go in cycles- the 599 is in thick of the under appreciation part of the cycle. It will come out.

    Your 599 is beautiful as well.

    Congrats on your 599 purchase MASR04! Are you at all thinking about purchasing a set of high performance wheels? Some very nice things can be done on the Fiorano.

    It's comes with HGTE wheels which look great to me. I def plan in removing secondary cats. Hoping the upgraded exhaust on the HGTE does not have a dampener. Such a waste of electronic garbage. Let her breathe!
