1986 Red 328 GTS 1 owner - only 11,800 miles

Too bad about that house.


GLWS!

 

With all the interest & calls it should sell soon.
Good luck with the showings this weekend.
I'll follow up with a couple I know that were asking about it.

By the way, anyone do a recent PPI on it?
Can you share the results?

 

Based on popular car sites this may be the lowest priced 328 in the country.
Don't drop the price anymore; should sell soon.

 

Just curious, did Lake Forest & Continental Autosports, give a reason for no longer doing PPI's? I've heard of several people that are no longer doing appraisals on collector cars because of legal hassles. Hope that's not going to be some kind of trend, making it hard to find qualified shops that know what they are doing, to perform a detailed inspection.

 

I remember why. I wish I had the specific link as it was in Ferrari Market Letter or Forza magazine. An attorney had a Ferrari dealer do a ppi on a 275 GTB it passed with flying colors. Years later the same attorney had it sent for a "classiche" certification and it was discovered that a tie rod had blown and the crank case had been repaired.

The Ferrari dealer who did the PPI missed this and according to the owner/attorney, greatly reduced the value of the Ferrari.

I'm going off memory on this.

Any F dealer within 100 miles of where you're located that can do the PPI?

 

Thanks!

 

You've had an infraction in April and an Infraction in May for market debates, negative commentary, and trolling the classifieds. You've also had many comments deleted that didn't get formal infractions.

Since your last infraction we've had, in other threads:

And the negative nitpicking commentary in this listing. Clearly, you're aware of the rules:

http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/ferraris/490360-effective-12-june-2015-posting-comments-classifieds.html​

Yet, clearly, you don't want to adhere to them. Take the market speculation and nitpicking commentary to the model forums - this section is for advertising cars and connecting sellers and buyers, not for your personal entertainment.

2 weeks off to reinforce the message and further incidents will result in progressively more severe moderation.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Bravo! Far too many negative posts when someone is selling a car here. It's a pet peeve of mine...well done.

 

Good Luck with this. You are brokering a nice car. I am very surprised at the value increases of 328s.

Please get the ODO clarification in writing for the buyer.

FYI, PPIs should only determine roadworthiness and condition, not collectability. Evaluating collectability is a job for a well-insured appraiser (since he/she will place a market value on the vehicle), preferably one who has judged at Concours-level events in the class of the vehicle inspected. Also, PPIs can be minimally involved (simple inspect) to highly involved (lifted vehicle inspect; monitoring fluid changes and pre-transfer maintenance activity; maintenance review/verification; deep inspection (especially 3x8 fuel hoses); engine testing, etc.); for each level, PPI would document findings; as long as the findings are truthfully disclosed, they would be reasonable for confirming condition. Thus I don't see why your dealer would not do a PPI, especially if they serviced the vehicle; perhaps they would generate a 3 month/1K mile warranty after sale to back up their service quality (lot of legal details therein, like...no racing, etc.)

Also, please detail the engine to shiny and new looking; it will help.

 

Congratulations on the sale Brad. Glad to see you got your asking price.

Nice job brokering this deal.

 

Nice job Chad brokering the deal. Did a fellow Fchatter pick it up?
