Ferrarilover(Haig) former car on Ebay

What a beautiful car.

 

It was painful to see this post with my personal information on the invoices shared publicly without my authorization.

Was it really necessary to post the invoices in such? Not very cool if you ask me.

 

Haig, if its any consolidation I cant read anything.....and I tried zoom etc. But yea, not a class move on the seller.

 

I tried the same and maybe because I know who I am and where I live and who the other owners were that I am able to identify things. Perhaps the seller on eBay is not the same person I sold the car to.

 

yeah, 100% not possible to discern any owner names on those invoices. i wouldn't worry about it.

 

That makes me feel better.

 

Ok, I just received confirmation from the seller that he actually did reduce the resolution before posting the ad so it was difficult for others to read.

For any interested buyers, I am happy to answer any questions.

 

I purposely altered the resolution to avoid any issues like this, let's all relax a little. By the way, THE RESERVE IS OFF!

 

It seems like the seller is running a clean ad for it and I give him credit. He disclosed the $30,000 accident and the fact that the car has almost 50,000 miles and guess what??? People are bidding the car up because it was well maintained and it looks sweet.
The invoices do not show anything discernable and who cares if it did?? The seller has a right to market the car the way he wants. All paperwork belongs to him. If it was an issue of privacy then Haig should have redacted that info when he transferred the service records over.

I only wish there were more sellers that were honest up front and disclosed the important crap without having to go on deep sea exploration to find it. I hope he gets his money.

 

Wasn't Haig's damaged by that Semi that collided with him?

 

Read post #8. All good.

 

That's correct.

 

No Reserve: Ideally Equipped 1990 Ferrari Testarossa | Bring a Trailer

Nice description on BAT.

 

I loved every minute of ownership and memorable 30,000+ miles. I have her original steering wheel at my office which I will be framing.

 

I've always been attracted to your (former) car but 2 things always stung me... (1) The TWO mirrors (but that was never an ultimate deal breaker) & (2) The taxes that the car would pay entering to Puerto Rico...

That was a great under your ownership my friend.

 

Hi Jaime...

Thank you for the kind words, she was special, so special that if I didn't have the accident and my back was not whacked, I would have never sold her. The car was well cared for at the time of my purchase and I maintained her after. I fell in love with her and love at first sight when we were introduced. I didn't hesitate and didn't negotiate purchasing her.

She filled my life with joy, fun and more importantly gave me a chance to meet all of you here, explore opportunities and touch special people like Alexander with MS who wanted to hear the sound of a Ferrari. This community made it possible, something I will never forget.

Lets talk about Chad.." Hawkeye" what a gentleman and man of his word and a true car enthusiasts. He made the offer, wired the money, picked up the TR all in just 3 days.

As I was walking to the AAA office to turn in title transfer form, Chad called me just in time and said: "Haig, if you want to cancel the deal, please do it. There has been times that I regret selling one of my cars and wish had a chance to cancel." I thanked him and wished him the best with the TR.

When Chad decided to sell the car, he contacted me and offered her back. The deal points were very attractive. Unfortunately, with my bad back continuing to be in pain and the recent purchase of my Supercharged XJ, I didn't move with the transaction.

On the day of being listed on eBay, Chad once again reached out to me to make sure that the TR was first made available to me with a PM. I explained my situation once again and hoped that he sends her to a good home.

As the clock ticks away on eBay, my heart beat kick up ot the next level. Email, text message and calls have swarmed me today from friends, dealers and even family members.

I am not sure which was easier... selling the car myself a year ago or watching her being auctioned off today.

I received couple of calls and those who are interested in the TR are welcome to reach me. As Chad stated in his ad, she is rare, clean and wants to be driven.

Ok, I am not done yet... Back to the single mirror issue. You know you could have taken it off... LOL as to the taxes, well I can't help you there Jamie...

To all my friends here, thank you for your support and the love you shared to make a Testarossa ownership as unique as it can be.

 

Well said my friend.

 

Sorry I've been away from the group the last few months, my automotive life has been full of Subaru's and Nissan(Kill me now). I about crapped when I just saw Haig's Sweetheart on BAT! I was hoping she would have stayed with a caring owner longer, but as mentioned above the add seems to be full disclosure and she's getting right up there in price. Only 3 hours to go, someone will get a damn fine car! Hope they find this place.
