Are you in the US market or Europe? Your profile does not say.
I have a close friend who is selling his red/tan, one owner barchetta, I think it has in the region of 4k miles (6-7k kms). The car is like new and in Madrid, Spain.
Good luck!

 

Great info, very helpful, but have you seen their website?
Could save you $10k for the same

Asking $189k


PS - it is tough to call it "PERFECT,BEAUTIFUL & RARE" when you see the front passenger's carpet is missing and the fog light is out. Probably better shown if these were dealt with before taking pics.

 

That is my car and it is not for sale. I will call Jim Lyons tomorrow and tell him to take it off.

 

Currently there are three for sale in Germany. All Rosso Corsa mit Nero. See http://www.ferrari-germany.de/index.php?page=preowned for more details.

 

Another ebay scam?

 

No, it is not an eBay scam. I purchased the car from Jim Lyons last year and did alot of work to it. I spent over $25K on a audio/video/radar/lazer/speaker system and had custom carbon fiber console installed on the center console. I also have a custom screen of the center console. I have saved the stock parts and stereo and can be converted back to stock. I did not butchered the car by any means. I also purchased a custom carbon fiber one piece top and the cost me over $25K. I did ask Jim to sell the car for me last month because I went on a shopping spree and purchased seven more car and was extremely short of space. I solved the space situation and totally forgot to tell Mr. Lyons to get my car off the market. Sorry for the confusion and apologize for the screwup.

Gus as far as i remember this car has been for sale by jim for more than 5 months now, can you post a picture of the top you have

 

I purchased the Barchetta from Jim Lyons last year, July or August, for $189K and invested alot of money customizing the electronics and carbon fiber interior (all of which can be converted back to stock). I was extremely short of garage space so I asked Jim if he can sell it since I purchased 5 cars in the past few weeks. I installed ten lifts which solved the problem so I asked Jim Lyons to take it off the market. I do not know how to post but know how to email. If you send me your email address, I would be glad to send you some pictures of the Barchetta with the carbon fiber top on.

I don't know how complicated it would be to import, but there is a beautiful blue one (Pozzi?) in France:

Still on EBay and I just received confirmation that the car IS for sale. He advised me to get my facts straight!!

Now why would he tell me that???

 

Bart, good luck with the search. Makes me want to join you, but not being from S. Cal I am better off with a functional top. Just picked up a very nice Z8. Not as exclusive, but another beautiful design piece.

Gustan, would love to see some pics of your garage. I will pm you my email and can post pics of the hardtop, garage, anything you deem fit.

John, congrats on the Z8.......it is a beautiful design! I followed one for a bit on the freeway last week.........couldn't take my eyes off it.

 

First he needs to sell cos he bought 7 cars. Then 5 cars. How many cars is it? 5, 7, 12 or is it all bull?

Its strange how the pictures and details of the advert dont mention anything about the bucks you just spent!

Mr Gustan. Over to you!

 

Thanks, very lucky to find one set up for drivers with Quaife diff, dinan II susp and performance chip with tune, Eisenmann sport exhaust, Brembo bbk, and HRE's. Low miles and all records etc.

 

It is still at sale on Ebay 190223861341

How much are you selling for now?

 

Silver/Red for sale, then again the ad states "stock photos"

clearly a faker.

 

Anybody try to call LaJolla and see what the story is?

 

I talked to the Jim Lyons guy who has the car on EBay, he thought I was nuts. Said the car is def for sale and made me feel foolish.
