575M For sale in NJ - Anyone know this car?

i like it. understated exterior. open the door...BAMMMM.

wonder if it has FHP. weird with those seats and no modular wheels.

this wasn't the cracked up blue car in NJ (or was that a diff shade of blue)?

 

Actually, the interior looks quite good because the car was ordered with black dash and steering wheel and black carpets. Too much blue leather and navy carpets can be over-kill. The Blue leather would look way darker in person. My charcoal interior looks silver in photos, but is very close to black, and black leather often looks medium gray in photos.

The rear shelf appears to be a total custom, possibly with stereo gear buried underneath the rear raised portion. Note the luggage straps are on the upper portion of the shelf, not on the lower shelf as on production leather luggage shelves.

Here is this one contrasted to the two production types I have seen. It actually looks very professionally done. The upper shelf extends quite a bit further forward than the OEM shelves.

This is a better picture to post showing the true darker appearance of the blue leather where the camera's flash was indirect...

$99k + that blue interior = color blind buyer only.

 

That reminds me of a funny article I read years ago about the guys who would dress Ray Charles for his concerts

 

I'm afraid I'm with Henry on this one. From 30 feet, me likey. 5 feet, still a fan. Then open the door - Whoa Nelly!

Check the Carfax. The previous owner I believe was Papa Smurf.

I like the combo, its pretty unique! I spoke to the dealer a day before the car sold, and the last owner was an elderly gentleman who only drove the car a few days every month. My only concern was that the last service was done in 2004 according to the carfax.

 

you can see the speakers on the upper shelf ....as Terry said very nice work back there.

somehow I don't think the blue is that bad...JMO.

I love the interior. There's actually an 01 550 on ebay that had blue with white piping interior and I think it looks great, color looks dark enough to be respectable but definitely sets it apart from all the other black or tan interior cars.

 

Im going to see this on Saturday. My ferrari dealer in central nj told me to stay away from it but not why. Quite confusing. Ferrari did give it an extended warranty. I cant imagine why they would if the car has issues. It has a year and change left on the warranty.

Also, apparently the car sold to a dealer in florida, but the owner cancelled it and let this dealer give it another shot. Something strange seems to be going on.....

 

I understand the car was last seen for sale at Audi of Mendham (Mendham, NJ). There is a sister store, Audi of Bernardsville, located in Bernardsville, NJ - just a few miles south of Mendham.

 

Its also for sale by some dealer in Chicago.

That looks like Chicago Motorcars showroom so maybe they were the dealer who bought it...

 

I was told by a dealer at Ferrari of Cental NJ to stay away from this car for an unspecified reason. I think I will at this point. Something just seems off.

 

look like it went to auction ? chicago dealer picked it up cheap and trying to blow it out.

 

Where do you see that it went to auction?

 

i didn't...... but it either did or the dealer in chicago that currently has the car out on ebay are in cohoots..... (its the same car out on ebay right ?)

 

Same dealer has it up on ebay.

i thought it was for sale in nj ???? this says chicago. same car?

 

The car was in NJ but is now in Chicago, and the Chicago dealer has listed on EBay. That is the Chicago Motorcars Showroom so they must bought the car from NJ dealer...

 

have you found out more about the history of the car? Its a bit random for a dealer to say stay away and then provide no color especially if the car is not in their possession.
