    thanks, that what I figured. The pics are at a strange angle but I thought it looked like a poor job aligning the panels

    Hey Dave,

    I wouldn't touch this car with Paps shorts! Let alone my hard earned money...

    Too many nice cars at the right prices for sale to deal with a wrecked one

    Run because even if you by it for $50 and fix whatever ails it for another $10 you still have a wrecked F-car which, given the length of time that one has been on the market, is always going to be a tough sell.

    This is my old car... I had it for just under a year and put 4,000 or so miles on it. It is cosmetically rough even by 355 standards. Exterior looks good but interior has significant leather shrinkage and sticky parts. I bought it at auction on impulse in March 2007 and sold it in December to a dealer in Florida. The good news is that I did the 30K service at Ferrari of Central Florida in May 2007 for $14K or so including new tires, belts, clutch, T/O bearing, and more. Mechanically the car was sound during my ownership and when I sold it in December. I agree that the car has known accident history and is harder to sell but to get a 355 Spyder with all service up to date for $50K is a good deal for the right buyer. Also the car has a 3" tear in the top. Hope this helps a little and for full disclosure I have no relations with the current seller.
