Possible 599 GTB purchase...

Good info; thanks!

 

Well, after having my mechanic conduct a PPI yesterday, the West Palm Beach car turned out to be a pass. There was simply too much wrong with it for my standards. Fixing everything properly would've made it at least a $130K car and I'd prefer to start with a better foundation.

I'm happy to share the details with anyone via PM. Now, I'm waiting for my deposit to be returned and hoping that it won't turn into a fiasco. So far today, one unanswered email (just over six hours) and one unanswered voicemail (though that's only been a few minutes).

 

SERIOUS BUMMER! You'll find one...keep the faith!

Yep, it may take a few months, but it'll work out fine. There's always another car just around the corner.

On the upside, I was very pleased with the 599 from a driving perspective. Powerful, quick, and surprisingly comfortable. I've driven most of the modern V8 cars, but this was only my third V12. I could definitely get accustomed to having it in the garage!

 

I'd love to have the details for the spreadsheet.

 

Fair point that there are drivers and concourse cars. Low miles concourse cars are not selling at the bottom prices. I suspect that 165 or so will get you a lower mile factory HGTE car in very good condition, but I have no proof of that.

 

Good pass on that car. Keep looking. The 599 is a joy to drive.

 

Hi, Could you PM me on the results of the PPi ? Thanks
