Hi. I'm into salvages and have restored three Ferraris (lighter damaged) up until now. I came across this car and wonder what the maximum price would be for a car with that history. If you guys have any idea, please let me know.... http://www.ridesafely.com/Inventory.asp?InventoryID=706074418 The ones I have worked with in the past did all come from Europe. If I was to import a US-car the taxes and customs would beat the s**t out of me! That's why it has to go for a really fair price. Thanks in advance.
Why does it have a salvage title? I am not an expert on these things but I would think that would play heavily into a "fair price".
I really don't know. The only thing visible is on the rear hood and on the front spoiler. The problem is that this website does not have any information to give regarding the condition, besides the pictures. Living in Sweden, going to the US for a quick check is an expensive option...
Well, the pictures arent the best, but it doesnt look that damaged. I suppose the underside could be more damaged than visible, or the suspension. The good news is that its a GTS, thats rarer than the spiders or GTBs. Is this a legit company, like a real auction company? I think there was a thread a while back about some of these websites not being real, the advertise cars on the website so you want to subscribe. Once you pay for thier service, you get a list of the actual cars for sale. Someone said (I believe) that one of the cars on the website was sold a LONG time ago to an FChatter who fixed it up and sold it again. Not sure if this is the same type of company, but the website shows a phone number, it would be worth a call before putting money down on the car or to subscribe to anything. James in Denver
that looks like a copart.com car it's on their main page right now. Don't forget to be careful with copart's dealer consignments
355 GTS with the 6 speed. NICE! I'm not wild about the color, but I would think that is around $75k if it has a clear title and no visible damage. BT
I think I would be concerned about the salvage title. There does not appear to be any real physical damage but if the car were in a flood then it would not be apparent in any photos. Since 2005 a lot of cars have been imported into Canada that were from the floods in Texas , New Orleans, Florida, ect. The same is true of cars that suffered flood damage in Canada....and have been exported to the US and retitled there. You don't want a water damaged car. The mechanical and electrical problems are never ending. You need more information about this car before you seriously consider making an offer.
