Thinking of buying a 348

I may be selling mine soon. If you are interested, please PM me. Red/Crema, 3,900 miles, perfect...needs nothing.

 

Hi Amo. Sorry you didn't make it to Donington.

It's nearing the end of the season as far as Ferrari events are concerned. I shall probably be at the Italian Car day at Brooklands (Surrey) this Sunday. There is usually a good turnout of Ferraris, but may not be this time as it is the same day as the A1GP at Brands (where I shall probably be on the Saturday) and Auto Italia aren't supporting it this time. Not sure of anything else coming up.

I don't know if this applies to you but if you are 6'2" or taller, check how you fit with the top behind the seat (in a ts) before you buy. I really wanted a 348ts but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fit. I had owned two 308gts and a 328gts before and fit ok so it was a surprise that I couldn't make the 348ts work.

 

For some reason, the GTS/GTB/Spiders have more legroom than ts/tb. And a lower seating position. I found that sitting in various cars, but don't know why it is.

I'm 6'2" and I have plenty of leg and headroom in the Spider... on the rare occassions I actually have the roof UP that is

 

Where is JVRBJR or whatever his name is and his "I know it all" nonsense?

 

Well I just bought a 1995 348 Spider for $70,000 USD with 12,500 miles, all services done, from adealer with a warranty.

I have seen 348 Spiders sell for $56,000 on ebay, but that is sight unseen other than photos, no records to speak of, private sale, you're on you own once you get over the curb.

Also, MANY ebay deals are "won" but the buyer never actually pays for the car, so they get relisted over and over again, thus scarring other interest buyers who say to themselves "why didn't the guy that won this last week take it?".

In January I suspect you can save yourself $5,000 as the dealers will be dead except for perhaps processing orders for new vehicles. It snows in NJ, so unless the dealer calls you telling you "your 430 Spider just arrived from Italy", the showroom is probably empty. Who shovels their driveway and goes looking at Ferraris? Private sellers fail to take the aforementioned considerations into their asking prices. They saw one listed in DuPont Registry for X amount with more miles at an Autorized Ferrari dealer, they expect to get that price minus $3,000, never considering the dealer may take $10,000 less themselves.

In May, I suspect you will pay a $5,000 premium as there are pobably LOTS of shoppers roaming the showroom so the dealer feels less in need of cutting a deal to pay the electric bill.

So I would say it is fair to see a $10,000 swing in price on your desired vehicle dependant on the day you are shopping within the 365 day calender year.

I paid more through a dealer, but they can not play dumb in court later, so I choose to buy myself that extra level of security.

 

So when do you intend on apologizing for calling my Leland West thread bullsh*t? My findings have been verified, crow tastes ok if you use enough salt.

 

Listen here little one....

I called, pretended to be someone else and there was no issue. Maybe because I am from California? I don't know.

I guess you would know what crow tasted like. Now do tell, What does Humble pie taste like?

 

When you stop posting. I will give you your $15 to go away if that helps.

 

PROVE IT, you wanted me to prove my case and it was independently verified. Why should a "little one" like me be held to a higher standard than the master like you? And when I am wrong I ADMIT IT, I don't accept my own apology and chane the subject immediately to prop myself back up.

 

Try decalf and some pamprin. You are bugging out.

 

So as usual you will not be able to verify your findings, so instead you will insult me, as your only defense in life is to belittle others to prop yourself up. You're pathetic.

 

ah Kitten, don't cry.

And how would you expect me to do that Pumpkin? VoIP on a PhP forum?

 

I don't know, how was I supposed to do it? Think about what you would have accepted as proof from me, and then apply it to yourself, like you do analease before you go for the whole fist.

 

Is that what your lifepartner does?

 

Again you can never answer a question, you always try to turn the answer into another question. I've decided to look for that ignore feature for you, bye.

 

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You will still see me

 

How can you still see someone that is on ignore?
