Red 412 on Ebay

I like 412s in red. Looks really nice with the cream leather, red bumpers, etc.

Good day Dave,

Yes, this one was mentioned in a previous thread. No real discussion, just a mention of it on Ebay... which leads me to the following...

What is interesting, is that I believe this is the same car that has been for sale and sold on Ebay 2 other times in the last few months. The first time it had one bidder and sold for $26K, then a week or two later it up again... The seller stated that the bidder did not go through with the deal. This 2nd Ebay auction it was sold again, but I do not remember the price.

I did contact the bidder and he did seem to be quite forthcoming with information, however, I ultimately decided that I wanted a manual shift.

Cheers,

Sam

 

Sam's right. It's been on ebay a couple of times. I too sell a few cars on ebay and I do agree that one car can sell a couple of times to dead-beats. Maybe that's what happened to this chap.

 

?????Seems strange or something that the car has so much recent history w/ reputable agents selling in the hi 40's-lo 50's and all of a sudden it's in the 20's. There's a situation goin' on!

Hey Aiden, do you remember Peter listing my car saying "you don't want one of these (400's) in red, they look awful in that color!"? Shows diversity amongst owners.

 

Yes, I do remember that. Its a bit daft to say that as he might have to back-pedal if he sells a red one in the future. I know he had a red/tan 5-speed for sale in early 2003 (when I moved to the US and started looking for one in earnest), and don't recall him slagging off the color then!

easy on red fellas, that was my choice

 

Yeah, me too!

 

Interesting! We'll have to wait and see--I suspect he would say 'nothing' when a red one comes through. I always thought Rosso Corso was reserved for race cars, not 2+2 GT's.
