    Good luck with the sale.

    Dale the gentleman who is going to buy it started a thread pricing on a higher mileage FERRARI the consensus of opinion was my car is worth $150,000 due to the fact that I have 15 years of ownership the car has been dealer serviced since new I have all service records and everything else that would go with it if you have any other questions or want to discuss anything else please feel free to contact me thank you for your interest.

    Well that's what they were built for driving the reason I'm selling it is because I can no longer do that I drove it almost every month to Las Vegas wonderful drive it makes me sad to have to sell it but I can't just let it sit in the Garage... It's such a great car I would get in it tomorrow drive across country and back without a worry in the world it's just so much fun to drive! if properly maintained it will last forever....

    Bill- She looks great and runs great. Good luck with the sale. She was maintained with an open checkbook and nearly all the miles are highway miles,

    I agree. I was going to buy this car when life hit. I've got too much going on right now to even think about buying a Ferrari. My loss is going to be someone else's gain.

    Gerald Roush, of Ferrari Market Letter fame, told me there are only three things that matter when buying an older Ferrari - Condition, Condition, Condition. It doesn't matter if the car has been wrecked, or driven a jillion miles, or not driven at all, or left out in a hayfield. There has been more than one multimillion dollar Ferrari that was previously wrecked to the firewall. All that matters is what condition the car is in today. This car has a lot of miles, but it has always had open checkbook owners. This is the car you want to buy. I'm an idiot.

    A very lovely Ferrari this 550 . As I have wondered about here, Ive been looking at the V12 Ferraris that are for sale. There was also a couple of others that were around the 150 K mark. This is fantastic , one can now get a V12 Ferrari for what I believe is a great as well as a fair investment.
