Best Technique to Find a F40?...

Youve just answered yourself.

Plus....look in Ferrari Market Letter.

I looked for a while myself under the same guise. Talked with alot of dealers, but just could not find the right car for me.

 

the internet's a good source to find dealers that may have the car your looking for,but buying without due diligence being done will sometimes result in the purchase of a lemon.

 

I saw one with I think 3k miles for 420k...

 

That would be my first suggestion - then again, maybe I'm biased.

But like with any Ferrari purchase, no matter how you find the car, make sure you have it thoroughly inspected by an independent party before you drop big dollars. Good luck, keep us posted and post pictures when you finally snag that dream.

 

That looks like a real good one! I have been casually looking for a while, and that is definately one of the nicer looking ones I have seen lately. May be worth a look and a PPI ..........................

 

I have spoken with Dave a few times, and he is excellent.

I was going to suggest you contact him, even before I saw that he had one listed.

Best of luck with the hunt.

 

Looks damn nice to me.

 

When I found my car (1990 F40) I did all of the above except I avoided the auctions (I felt that was high risk for an inexperienced person). The car I ended up with I found myself. but then consulted my broker for his opinion. PPI etc...

It took me about a year to find the right car for me. (Completely original with 4K miles), So be patient. I turned down some cars because of too few miles. I drive my car so buying a car wiith under 1K mile didn't make sense to me.

 

Looks like a real clean car.

 

One is for sale here at the local dealer, 245.000 €, 12.000 km on the odo, red/red.

 

i have a euro spec 1991 with 700km's!about 400 miles should be here in about a month.$500,000 canadian dollars

 

I just got off the phone with ferrari north america, the only way it would be able to go to the states is if its modified to fit north american e.p.a standards which would not be worth it for you, but if everything is going to be done this is a car you might want to look at.

 

Just out of curiosity... are Euro cars legal in canada?

 

At 15 years old, anything is legal in the 51st state.

>8^)
ER

 

yeah there legal with a few minor modifications.

 

thanks. I learn something on every post!

 

no problem its a pain in the ass to get them in the states though.

 

Actually no modifications if it is over 15 years right?

 

umm as far as i know, they still have to be slighlty modified, but the person to ask is Steve Maman, sorry wish i knew more.

 

Sorry James, 15 years and it doesn't matter anymore. Just pay the duty and taxes and in she comes...

 

yeah into canada i thought you meant the states
