    Only 6000 miles. Hard to believe the market sustains an ask of a quarter of a million for our cars. As is often repeated, asking is one thing, receiving is a whole other issue.

    No affiliation, just passing along an observation. Interesting that there are no interior pictures. Maybe blue isn't the best color option and they are playing it down.

    Interesting. I know it's been discussed that they are desirable, but do the 2001s have anything the others don't? Apart from being below the age of consent.
    Seriously, per Taz, I know 575s were improved throughout their MYs, was it the same with 550s?
    I have a 97, so I'm not insecure about this at all.

    Darius- I have never looked at the 550s to see if there were upgrades like the 575M. Other than the tensioner brackets early in production, I do not know of other changes, but have not gone through the parts catalog in detail like I did for the 575M. Looks like a lot of the changes were just saved for the 575M. Availability of the Scaglietti options over the winter of 97/98 was one big change. I need to get a copy of that document, but have not seen one. Would be nice if a 550 owner with one posted it here like I did for the 575M. I know where there is a copy, but will not have access to it for a while.
