    This 2004 360 spider w/ factory warranty has been on Ebay for the last 2 months (at least), and for the last month @ $108k W/ WARRANTY... Whats the issue?
    I'm seriously considering but I am hesitant as others seem to know a "hidden" past. Is there an issue???
    Seems like a more than fair $ to me, but of course I want it for $100k;)

    Anyone had any dealings w/ CNC in the past? Would anyone consider them a reputable "dealer"?

    Just curious - what has been their response when you've hit the "make offer" button
    with your desired $100k price? THAT answer would be telling, I would think...

    I had no response on my $100k offer...left VM's but no call backs. I'm just wondering WHY the car has not sold for more if the car is what it is?
    Any ideas?

    If your offer was truly legit, and they had ZERO response.... I'd say find another car.

    Just my 2/100 $

    I haven't heard anything negative about the car or CNC. In fact, I think someone recently bought a car from CNC and had a great experience. I'm not sure I like the aftermarket treatment of the tail or side marker lights. But it does have factory shields, which is something very hard to retrofit (if you care about those things). If you don't like some of the other changes (Challenge wheels?), you can easily change them.

    It's more than legit! So what if I was trying to low ball it, they have been dropping the price for at least the last 2 months. Just trying to figure out WHY? I honestly think the car is worth $108k or more IMO

    Personally, I LOVE the way it's configured aside from the lack of the challenge rear grill (but I could take care of that).
    I really prefer the Challenge wheels but have heard they may be "weak"...Any opinions on those?

    I like this car a lot. I think it looks great with the challenge wheels and the interior with gray stitching is a plus.

    I would consider CF for the interior and a challenge grill.

    Another question - have you seen it in PERSON? Have you addressed your offer
    IN PERSON?

    A car at 108 for ages, offered a legit offer at 100 .... that hasn't been seen in person .....

    I don't "KNOW" anything. Just suggesting there may be more to the story, that's all.

    Agree w/ the CF as well, but mods can be made... especially @ the $.
    My real ? is why it seems like it's being "blackballed"?

    David,

    I bought my 360 from CNC 2 months ago. I thought they were great. They even did a few extras for me which I didn't even have to ask for such as respraying the front bumper, taking the car to Ferrari of Orange County to have the belt and fluid service done, and delivering the car to my driveway for free. They do alot of their advertising on Ebay, cars.com, etc, that is how I found out about the car I purchased from them. However, if you are serious about making an offer, I suggest calling Fraser directly (that is what I did). We had the negotiation done in 3 phone calls and that afternoon I gave them my credit card for a deposit. PM me if you have further questions about CNC.

    PS. I need more COWBELL!

    Best Regards,
    Doug

    Well, IF I received a callback it would change things...I HATE FleaBay!
    If not this car I am actually looking @ a 2009 R8 as well for the same $...BUT, the R8 is NOT an F-car. I sold my 360 coupe a year ago and am chomping @ the bit now for a new mid-life crisis car;)

    You lost me @ FofOC...I personally wouldn't trust ANYTHING coming out of there. I have learned from personal experience that "service" records can be altered via their own personal relationships w/ "wholesalers"...
    Ask Brian Crall (Riffledriver)...aka "the man" as my last 360 came from "them" and was NOT what it appeared, hence the ???
    Thanks Doug...more cowbell on the way;) I really do appreciate your input as an actual customer. Thanks!
