    Excellent example of 550 Maranello! (9925) I am personally selling my car to move onto another desirable Ferrari. The car has recently had it's 30K major service (February 2014) All new bushings, new rubber (Michelins) and undergone some basic aesthetic maintenance such as quilted new headliner and rear deck by BRADAN, all wheels have been refurbished, removed and resprayed front bumper. (EXPEL clear protectant on bumper and hood, fender wells and side mirrors) Paint is in excellent conditions. Tubi Exhaust, all factory OEM audio components. AC has been recharged, no leaks and blows very cold for south Texas summers. Car never over heats! If you are looking for a great example of a driven, low owner and well maintained and completely documented 550 in a desirable color combination then look no more! As stated I am a private seller, which haven owned a lot of Ferrari's is the best way to purchase. All maintenance has been documented since new, all books, tools and leather pouches are intact and in excellent condition. These cars have some of the best appreciation potential as any modern Ferrari and is a must in any collection.

    List Price $84,500.00

    I will be listing via this forum for 30 days before marketing on Ebay.



    I am based in Houston, TX. Buyer assumes all shipping and pick up costs. Deposits can be received via PayPal. Please PM me if you have specific questions or would like to arrange an visit.

    One more bit of information, all hoses under the intake plenum have been replaced and upgraded as well as 575 motor mounts.

    B.D. A few basic questions. Is the title clean and not branded? Which owner (first, second, etc.) are you? Are the maintenance records complete from the in-service date (and, if not, when do they begin)? Have typical cosmetic issues (sticky switchgear, pulling dash leather, warped/wavy airbag covers) been addressed if they exist? Also, I assume the quilted bits were made by BRADAN but installed locally? I think specific discussions are best for PM's, but this seems like basic info that often is someplace in the thread. My apologies if you don't want to post any of the above publicly. Thanks.

    Scotty:
    There is some shrinkage on the dash that is pretty minimal at the A pillar on the passenger side, it isn't very noticeable but to the discerning eye, which I know many on the forum are. I have all the in service documentation since the original owner fully documented. I am the third owner, the second owner owned the car for 10 years. There are no sticky parts the steering wheel shows no warping, there is some slight warping on the passenger side airbag. Correct on the BRADAN question. The title is clean and never branded. The car has a complete and satisfactory car fax and has never been wrecked. Hope this helps.

    Beautiful. I definitely want a 550/575 as my next FCar. Not quite ready but if I was this would be top of the list.

    Silver/red with the quilting, love it.

    Looks to be a very nice example. Priced fairly and should sell quickly. Good Luck!

    I have personally seen the OP's car, and I can tell you that it is a fabulous example of a 550 in arguably the best color combination for a 550.

    GLWS!

    Good looking car. I'm trying really hard not to make an offer on it. I'm still a year out from when I should pull the trigger. GLWS

    Great color combo! Nice that you posted it here first before going to eBay. Is that Grigio Titanium (or Silverstone)?

    Othen than some Bordeaux leather lifting in the rear compartment, I would trade my '95 355B6SP for it. A year ago these were dipping into the 60's. Nice car!

    A proper gentlemen's express that picked up where the Daytona left off..., very elegant.

    Is your 550 still available?
    I'm in Houston in a week, and would like to see it if you still have it.
