    It might help the sale if you wash the bugs from the lights and vacuum the interior. At least it couldn't hurt.

    From my experience, nothing lights a divorce lawyer up more, than seeing the word "Ferrari" on a Property Distribution List..

    Sorry to hear, but the up side is they are ALWAYS for sale!
    Good luck.

    Nice car to enjoy. Seems high for the mileage. Let's hope the bubble helps;).

    High mileage...in the past there were forums threads with f-cars with over a 100k. I would bet Tillman would know the threads. What is the highest F-car Milage out there? Had a discussion that few Porsche buyers bat an eye lash at 100k miles. I guess the Ferrari discussion of few miles and long dormant periods, vs, using it and driving it,..and putting miles on a 328. which is harder on a car? What causes more depreciation, and how much depreciation. I did make a point of never driving the car less than 20 miles per outing...it had time to get warm. There are those who think the 328 is a tough old bird who can take more miles than we ever give them credit for...****For the fun of it, maybe a general forum topic would be to find the HIGHEST Milage 328 out there, how did it get there and is it still going well? And price, where is the bubble going....like real estate, best offer accepted almost always sets the true value, not the listing estimate...obviously I would accept a lower offer from a real buyer on F-chat, than the wackos on EBay.... SCM has the 328 at $40k to 100k..up amazingly in 2 years. Maybe 73231 won't sell and I will enjoy her longer!!

    Could you donate it to a non-profit and still satisfy the bloodsucking lawyers? Might be one way to stick it to the 'ol biatch one last time? :)

    Had a great drive yesterday. Had an Ebay offer of $35k from a dealer. With banks paying 1% at best on CD's, so if I took $54k,.... interest would be under $600 for the year, ....Worked other details out amicably with other party,...SO Pretty much deciding to spend the summer enjoying her, and yes, cleaning the bugs off the driving light, vacuming it and detailing things out...at 80,009 miles now, I have 991 more miles for my yearly quota of fun miles. Best of all, I think the curve of increased value might be greater than $600.

    Also watch the inside wear on your rear tires, mine went from what yours look like to cords showing in a very short time ;)

    Sounds like you're trying too hard to sell her. The price is probably too low and the pictures are too nice and detailed, since people can see much of the detail. You might photoshop some rust, or even show a different, more flawed, car, and put the price at the very top of the market. Good luck keeping her.
