Minor Murcie search frustration

I’m looking at Murcie’s right now and it’s turning out a bit different than any high end car search I’ve done. First, I’m looking at ’03-05 years and I’m very surprised about the amount of turnover on the cars. It’s not surprising to see an ’03 with <10K miles and 4 owners. There are good cars out there but I’m surprised how many have never had the basics of fluids changed and so on. People seem more likely to pop for the bling wheels or thumping stereo rather than have the car reviewed once a year and fully serviced. Plenty of crappy run hard FCars out there but Ferrari owners seem more likely to take better care of the mechanicals and routine stuff that can turn into big stuff.

Also, while many indy dealers that sell Fcars are marginal I think the Ferrari dealers are pretty solid. The range in Lambo branded stores is very wide from first class to guys putting junk out there that shouldn’t be on a high end lot. I had an authorized dealer tell me that the car didn’t need a PPI because it had a clean CarFax. WTF? Growing pains?

At any rate, the search continues but it makes it harder to leave the G I’ve got.
End of rant.

 

Thanks Steve. you had a car that I would have been interested in but posted as sold. Assuming the cars are solid, your prices seemed in line.

The good news is that there are some solid cars starting to come forward. I'll wait for the right one and an easy straight forward transaction.
