If....I used it in an advertisement it would mean is the following: the car is completely up to date on all factory recognized issues. the car...
I've bought most of my cars out of state: some sight unseen, most not. The most stress-free way is to make plans in advance to go see the car...
Congrats on the purchase...you'll love the car. The flickering light is probably a relay. Minor fix but annoying when it happens. If you take it...
This type of stuff happens. If it's not the fuses or rheostat, it's invariably a relay or two. They age and die.
There's no reason why a clutch in these cars will NEED to be replaced at 20K. It should be looked at as part of the PPI and that info taken into...
As an owner, my advice would be to pass on this car: there are enough good cars out there so that you don't need to take a chance, even if the PPI...
Well, its been an interesting week since I initially thought about selling the 550 and replacing it with something else. I started this...
This is all good information. Apparently there is a demand out there; I've been getting a lot of PMs! It appears there are a number of cars for...
Good points made. Regarding the major, yes, it would be easier to sell if I "got that out of the way" but I wasn't really looking to sell. I...
Right! That's what I told the wholesaler when he showed me a recent auction'd one that went for 48k- with 28K miles. When I asked him the history...

Thanks for the response. Seems as if we're on the same page. I guess I'm just surprised at the spread. I would of thought that a dealer would be...
What is the market for these REALLY LIKE? So, I've done some searches and there isn't a whole lot out there telling me what good 550's are...
I've noticed an upsurge in interest from collector type buffs re my '97 550 and in one day received invites from three "classic" car...
Great news Mark and glad to have you aboard. THat damn parking brake is one of the annoyances. Very finicky even when it's "working" right and I...
Unless you are a do-it yourselfer, no modern Ferrari is really going to be "economical" in a normal sense to maintain. That includes the 550, and...
Yes, I get that or close to it at those speeds, if it's steady and warm outside. 12 mpg is low for hwy driving unless it's really "exuberant." :)
There have been a number of posts on this topic: the Search function will efficiently locate them for you so you can see what the Board's...
Yes, owner service books with windows for filling in that the service was done DO exist. However, many dealers/maintenance facilities are pretty...
Many people on the board own both and, although the measurements are similar, they are obviously very different cars. The 911 "feels" much...
