Anyone have any knowledge about this F-Car?

Looks clean enough, but before I go through PPI, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this particular car. Its been for sale off and on for a while now is the only thing I know. and Im not sure whats plugging into the cig lighter, but Im guessing its some kind of battery charger.

Definitely looks like a battery charger, but if I'm not mistaken, the 355 can't be charged via the cigarette lighter... ask me how I know.

If everything is truly in order - I've heard nothing but great things about Eugenio - then it should be a fantastic car! Of course, get your full inspection done and enjoy your ownership of a great model.

 

Seems like a good one. The only detail that's missing in his listing is *when* was the 30k done. The fact that this isn't mentioned, usually means it's coming up on 5 years or has already been more than 5 years.

Interesting that the gas prices in the main photo show $2.57 for premium, indicating that the photos are recent, but not that recent. But then, well cared for cars look the same year after year, so those photos are probably still accurate.

I don't have any first hand knowledge of this car though.

 

Why can't it be charged by the cigarette lighter? Mine seems to work. (though I leave the battery switch, under the hood, turned on since I drive it weekly)

 

Seems like its a fair price with good history! I don't know anything about the car but have herd nothing but good things about the mech. (Eugenio) that worked on it. I'm sure at somepoint someone on here will chime in about it since an F-chatter owns it..

 

I am no expert by any means but isn't a 36k mileage 355 priced at $55k, priced high? Seems the well sorted no story fcars are in or around that range and they have the usual 355 mile range.

 

That is rennspeed's car:

Hmm... Reading through other older posts, it looks like cigarette-lighter charging can work. My apologies on that... Then again, I make sure to get may car out, even in winter, so often, that trickle charging isn't necessary any more. I wish for everyone to be able to drive that often.

 

I sent you a PM.

 

I don't know this car, but it sure looks nice. What is the story with the "Fleet, rental and/or lease use record(s)" on the AutoCheck Vehicle History report?

 

That just means it was a leased vehicle when it was bought new. Just another way of financing the car.

 

Cool. It is unfortunate that they do not distinguish between lease on the one hand versus fleet and rental on the other. I have no problem with a leased vehice, but if it was a rental...

 

yep my car.

Super clean. The car actually sold TWICE but both the buyers couldn't come up with the money. Both were nice guys but I really hope this doesn't happen to me a 3rd time.

I think it's a lot of car for the money and both the individuals who saw the car in person committed to it so I know I can sell it for the $55K asking price. PM me with any questions.

Thanks for looking!
