    If you are in the market for the most perfect F1 '99 Spider.....then I have your seller. His name is Mike and you can reach him at 818-625-2743

    He just bought a pristine Challenge Stradale and has come to terms with something he said he'd never do: sell his 355

    But it's not any 355....it's a Fiorano (numbered, limited edition). The car is Red/tan and he has spared no expense in maintaining it. Just this weekend he relucatantly confided in me that he's going to probably sell it. It's a no-stories, well-documented super-clean car...I sincerely doubt you'll find anything cleaner.

    How do you know they didn't talk prior to posting? Reluctantly confided doesn't automatically imply secrecy. I know the car, it's magnificent.

    Just out of curiosity, why do you want an F1-equipped 355? Have you driven a car with a 1st-gen F1 system?

    So with all that exposure to more modern cars why the passion for a 355?

    The best way to sell a car is to tell no one about it.

    It could be worse.. I could be you.

    Called Mike again today, 2 days ago he said he'd be happy to trade at $115k and today jacked up the price on me $5k in 2 days to $120k... You should have told me he was a professional car dealer!

    Thanks anyways

    he said top price, not a moving target....

    guy jacks up the price $5k after initially saying ok ? I'd laugh at him and walk....

    Hey wait I thought you were wanting a "perfect" example and willing to pay top price for it? Now all the sudden you're on the cheap? Don't announce that you're willing to pay "top price" for anything and expect to get anything but the "top price." Even the world's tallest midget knows that.

    I agree completely, just having some fun. But I probably wouldn't post that I was willing to pay "top price" if I what I really wanted was a fair price on a really good car.

    BTW, you have a fantastic stable. Congrats and regards,

    -J.

    The other boyz that drive civics, should be prequalified before being a member of the Ferrarichat.com... Drive a real Ferrari (mid-engine V-12 before you become a member) please... Do you know what entails a cambelt change? or is the service worth more than your broke ass mustang! Otherwise let the real people get along with real business...

    You are in similar mindset... Walking away to something better.... Send you a personal message when completing transaction!! I don't respond to stupid inquiries, although a perfect example with Factory serviced cars with full record are hard to find... Hopefully will close on this one without a hitch!!

    Sorry, but I'm in Frisco TX. I have a 2006 Aston V8 Vantage and a 2003 Infiniti G3 coupe (don't know if that qualifies as a "stable" or not but you are more than welcome to swing by if you are ever in the neighborhood). How is your search going?
