    Good day Zman,

    Do you not own this car? I ask, as in the 53277 thread you stated as much:

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/142105421-post7.html

    Being unsubscribed and trying to sell your car on here could get into trouble with Fchat... just saying...

    Cheers,

    Sam

    As many of you know I have been looking at the 400; I am pretty sure this car was for sale up north, northeast, hell maybe it was in Cali with the SAME PICTURES I am quite sure! I have looked at a bunch as many of you know, Doc

    This car is missing a peddle.

    No, it's being peddled pretty hard.

    Where does this price come from, I wonder? I have rarely seen an auto with such a price tag. Admittedly it's in loonies, but that's still almost 1 to 1.

    Certainly not many palm trees in Ontario, Canada - where it seems to be now.

    zman: weren't you banned shortly a week or so ago right after posting your for sale thread? Then didn't a new user named zzman somehow appear? Is there any connection?

    Do you or do you not own this car now and are you trying to sell it?

    Ad says new tires and exhaust were $13K - not possible. 4 new TRX for my 412 were under $1K and full new stainless exhaust couldn't possible be more than $6-8K

    I don't know when you bought your TRX tires, Seth, but the current price quote from Coker Tire for the 400i/412 size (240/55VR415) is $529 each so four would run $2,116.

    Doesn't take away too much from your general point however that $13k on tires and exhaust is not a real world number unless the exhaust number included some super duper custom headers.

    zman banned for 3 months; zzman previously permabanned. Repeated attempts to place classified ads in the forums, now a misleading referral to his own car in autotrader. The commentary is interesting, so thread is left open.

    Oh, I don't know about getting in trouble…the moderator might pull the post but I don't think you'll be banned or anything :D

    Those poor fuel injection lines have been man-handled :eek: :eek:

    Good day Bruce,

    I could see it coming... The rules seem pretty clear to me. If the fellow made a mistake then sending an e-mail/PM to Mod explaining as such and then subscribing probably would have prevented the ban.

    But:

    a. Presenting an advertisement as "info" and not coming clean as the owner is a big no-no
    b. Creating another account is a no-no (I am assuming this given the other account was almost the same handle name)
    c. Advertising one's car requires a subscription.

    My guess is there was more going on than we know which resulted in the Mod's response.

    Cheers,

    Sam

    can any of you tell me as I'm looking at a 308 GT4 or a 400i and in the middle between the 2. the 308 looks rough and needs some much TLC. I like the 400i but heavy car and I like the 308 as it's smaller.
    Also what will appreciate in the long run.

    Sorry if I offended anyone and the car is now advertised for sale in the right section.
