355 GTS $37,000

Read the ad closely. It has a "rebuilt" title. Not salvage. And what is your point? No Ferrari that's damaged is worth the time, money and effort to fix/restore?

 

If anyone wants, I will go look at it this Saturday morning... but this car is on my dream car list... with the exception that its a '96 (I really want a '95) GTS with black interior. I think its odd that there's not a single pic of the interior. If this guy sells cars on ebay, he knows interior pics are necessary to show a clean car.
I will warn this.... If I go see the car, and its not totally jacked up, and the dude will take a cash offer under $40K, I just might buy it myself!!

Either way, I will provide the nit-pickiest review of the cars condition that you could possibly ask for!!

 

I agree, the bottom feeders will be out on this one. Will be interesting to watch.

 

The car has been sold. Someone from Kansas, is my understanding. Buyer owns 3 other Ferraris so yeah, must be a real bottom feeder ;-)

Did you buy it? I hope so. This was a tremendous deal. I called Steve Harris and found that all belts and even the valve guides were replaced last year. I emailed back , but the car was sold. You snooze, you loose. I lost big time.

 

I was going to look at it first thing tomorrow morning and get an inspection/evaluation done . I was not the buyer :-( Incidentally, the sale price was the "Buy it now" price. It was in an accident and did have a rather poor repair, however.....

 

I wouldnt worry about it. There is more to this than you think.

 

I know this car, it had a bad engine fire totalled out. Wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole even though its cheap who knows what future problems will happen with this one. You get what you pay for especially with a Ferrari.

 

Certainly I believe that's possible. I've got the police accident report number (Salt Lake County, Utah) a copy of which can be obtained for $7.00. Unfortunately you have to appear in person to get it and I'm not in the area. Seller was told by previous owner that the accident occurred while backing out of the garage. I question police being called (accident report) for a "minor" accident on private property. Maybe it was needed for insurance payment?? Don't know...

 

That thing looked like a steal for a "keeper" and a driver car. Anyone get the price? No signs of fire at all, so I don't know about that post above... <.<

I might have been a player at one time and thanks to my 348/355 brothers I don't fear mechanical repairs as much as I used to.

 

There was no fire....what are you talking about. It was for sale in UT one year ago for 72K and perfect. It hit a concrete wall in UT and was totaled.

I agree, a great keeper and driver. I was told by the dealer that the belts and VALVE GUIDES were replaced last year. Again, hell of a deal.

 

I'm a bit bummed, I probably would have bought it, i'm not a Ferrari collector, i'm a Ferrari DRIVER!!

This probably isn't the same car that was burned. Not many red GTS s 96 in this area I assumed it was it but the burned car had a tan interior. That said I can't believe they totalled a then $75k car out for $9500 plus in damage. Something doesn't add up a pig with lipstick here.

 

pig in lipstick, you knew my high school prom date???

 

Pig + lipstick + 6-pack of Zima = hot Prom date!

 

Now that right there made me laugh.......zima......

 

I know I'm getting old when I remember chugging down a few Zimas back in the day, lol!

 

hey I have a fan!
