575 WHAT IS IT WORTH? FIORANO 6 SPEED

Please help! I have placed an ad on ebay for my car and would like idea what it should bring-also how rare w/fiorano 6 speed combo? 2004 red/tan w/daytona seats/red inserts,red stitching, modular wheels,carbon fiber,shields, 6300 miles and absolutely like brand new with no paint work ever-I put a reasonable reserve I thought but w/auto market in turmoil not so sure-Thanks for any and all responses.

 

I actually bid on that car. Beautiful. I think "true" value will be determined at the end of the auction.

 

Link? I only find sliver and black cars.

Wow, nice car. Can't opine on the reserve, but it seems you are reasonably close to it with about 4 days left. I'd guess it was in the ball park.

Good luck, I wish I could afford it.

maxout- Beautiful car with great options and low but reasonable mileage (~1200 miles per year). Your $139,500 buy it now price seems about right with reserve about $1000-5000 less. The six speed is a big selling point for some buyers and a detraction for others, but reflected in your price. The F1 option was ~$10K. The only better option package was the 2005 HGTC package, so yours is as good as was available in 2004. Very nice car and good luck on the sale. Why not advertise it in Ferraichat as well if it does not sell immediately?

how rare is the 6speed w/Fiorano pkg? any production #'s?

 

not very rare.

 

Ask NNO.

 

Nice car. I wish you the best, but would not hope for much more than is currently bid.

 

I have been told that the Fiorano is a rare option as a 6 speed is also very rare on the 575M- just have not been able to locate any other 575m with this factory combination-is there any source to look those production #'s up? Thanks

 

Here's mine with a build date of February 2005. Similar specification. Understand one of the last built. You have priced aggressively for a no stories car

maxout, Gary- Not that many six speeds, not that many FHP packages. I would be surprised if there were 200 total out of all 575M production. Unfortunately not sure it makes that much difference right now if you are selling. Bad time to sell, but it may get worse.

Beautiful car! Makes me want to get back into another 550. Good luck with the sale!

 

There is never a good time to sell a car like that!

Hey guys quick heads up here: you guys are being nice to this guy who has this history already on Fchat from 2007: This is from the 355 forum. I discovered it after checking out the ebay ad and googling the phone number to see if he was near. Gotta luv the net. I was going to go check it out but now...???? Whatdya think?


i spoke to frank schilling in the ad: and I believe it is fchatter Ratex ( Now posing as MAXOUT)---you dirty lying sack of ****. i vote for kicking him off the site

here is info:
i faxed him the attached purchase agreement- which he never signed, never replied via ebay, i spoke with him three times monday night, said i was getting a flight and will be there tommorrow with the money....he said tuesday he was building a house on the shore ( he a very busy builder) and 60 grand wasnt alot of money to him and kept tring to get me to wire the money..

late last night i called to make arrangement told me the car had been sold.- wtf !

glad it wasnt me - i hope someone else didnt buy it thinking it was clean:

Many thanks the the registry and ferrari chat ..thanks you saved me a big mistake!!!

i have a check in my hand from bank make out to me and him and was supposed to fly out to NJ... Spoke to him and his wife at home and on their cells..... they made it sound like 100's of people where calling and it was first wire first serve...total east coast asses- - said ferraris are impulsive buys, didnt want to close thru ebay, didnt want to take a deposit, paypal, wanted only an immediate wire transfer.- Never once did he mentioned the car was wrecked- I told him i will be there today - he said he wouldnt be home and will call me tuesday

in the meantime i got the records myself from wide world of cars - Kevin and Justin- ran the carfax, the 355registry and connected the dots..

i called the dealer the verifed the windshield, replaced bumber and left rear quarter panel and shocks mounts all where worked on..... and this morning i just saw the pictures....of the wreck

alledgely ---ratedx aka Frank Schilling bought the car on ebay a few months ago for $37,500 wrecked- fixed it up and tried to sell it as clean for 56,500- shame on you piece of ****

Larry- Thanks. Human nature is always to give the benefit of the doubt and try to help people. Sometimes it does not work out. After that, time for the skinning knife.

very interesting outcome: reserve was hit and then mysteriously bidding was canceled due to reserve error(?) and it's back in play again. Hmmmmmmmmmm

 

In good faith I showed a photo of my 2005 575M taken this summer in Santa Fe NM, however I do want to make it clear in case there is any confusion that I am not the seller or in anyway associated with "maxout" as Terry will confirm.
Incidentally I was told that 246 manual 575M 's were made out of a total production run of 2056. Wolud that be US production or total world ?

Unfortunately, there are always a few bad apples in whatever business/hobby you are in. Fcars are no different. But, I prefer to remain positive. I have met many more great people through the F-car fraternity than jackasses, so I will always give someone the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. Not point punishing everyone else because you got burned once (or twice) before.

Serenity now, serenity now.
