I just saw the car sunday, and the seats have been redyed. You would probably want to see them in person before passing judgement, I was not too impressed with how they look and feel. Just my passing .02c
No, just bored and out "charging my battery" before putting the car away for another blast of winter. The sales guys at FONE are cool and the scenery is extremely nice too. P driving, F dreaming...
I find it interesting that there were differing opinions as to the condition of this car; some people thought it was in great shape and others had less flattering views. Just based on the photos in the listing, I was really impressed but perhaps you need to see the car in person to catch some of those flaws.
Lots of varying expectations for used Ferraris, and a huge gap between buyer's budgets and those expectations......it boils down to truly understanding the market and following what people are really paying for cars of varying condition. On another thread, someone payed $120,000 for a 'perfect' 328 in Gstaad recently. That is what 'perfection' will cost you, in today's market, for a 328. Do you honestly, realistically think you're going to get 'perfection' in a Ferrari for $45K? I can understand some people new to the Ferrari community who are 'holding out' for that once-in-a-lifetime sweet deal to just fall from the sky into their laps......people who think they can score a Gstaad-quality car for $40K somewhere.....they won't.
It would not be fair for someone to purchase this car and think that they had a vehical in excellent condition. If you dont know what to look for and are running on true emotion, you can really mess up what should be a great experience. Someone is going to pay for the lack of quality on any car. The buyer of this car deserves to get a discounted price for leather and paint condition. For $45K and a little time, you could find a really nice car.Anyone that makes judgement on a car regarding mileage, lack of use or condition without actually seeing and hearing the car in person is not qualified to make any fair judgement.
