https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2005-ferrari-575-superamerica-6/ Anyone seen this? What am i missing?
Leased vehicle with a damaged roof. No maintenance history and as a leased vehicle, maybe no actual maintenance. Also no time to do a PPI. Plus a superamerica in red I thought in Chicago for $269? I also posted to the F-chatter here in the classifieds that he should reach out to that auction and I ended up doing it and providing a post in the auction to the guy here selling a non-functional but not chipped roof. Pandoras box.....
Image Unavailable, Please Login Do you need to buy a roof or can you replace the glass? Still seems like a good buy even if it needs a full service. Leased is seen as a negative?
Theoretically if you lease a car for 30k miles, you would not have to pay $1 to maintain the vehicle, no belts, not even oil changes, why would you care because you are going to give the car back at the end of the lease. Were you the high bidder? If so you might not have seen in my comment during the auction that there is a replacement roof for sale here for I thought for around $8k which is WAY cheaper than replacement. Might be able to fix it......who knows, not many of those made, who knows if anyone has the experience to share? I'm very interested in learning more. If you bought it and do a PPI to get an economic list of its maintenance needs then I'm SUPER intersted in learning what the list and costs are? Grateful for the dialog, I'm learning a LOT on this forum and I'm genuinely grateful to everyone here, especially Taz.
No, i didnt bid on it. I was just surprised by how cheap it went. I see your point about leasing that could potentially mean 0 service and without being able to drive it, the car could be in bad shape and require 5 figures worth of maintenance and services. I guess it boils down to what is the market for a higher miles HGTC 575 SA in a rare color.
Probably a great buy if you want to keep it for a long time. The roof is the issue with these cars. The color simply rocks. Needs some TLC and for someone to rebuild the ownership history. Service the car and enjoy it.
