    Why am I selling this car?

    This was my first Ferrari and a dream come true - sharing a garage with several others with my brother-in-law who has now moved to Tucson, AZ. I’ve decided to sell this car in order to add a 430 Scuderia. Unfortunately, I don’t have the garage space at my house to have more than one at a time.

    Pricing

    I have priced this car at $225,000 - which all things considered should be in a sweet spot for buyers based on what has been done and is included seeing what else is available out there.
