Comments on this car and the seller?

Maybe post in the Florida section.

I'd be wary of buying a $160,000 car over the Internet without an in-person inspection by a Ferrari expert, and a flight down there to view the car myself. The description isn't all that accurate, historically, FWIW.

My two pence.

 

+1. I would defintely take the time to fly there and see this in person as well as have it inspected by a Ferrari expert.

 

Euro Motorsport has a storied reputation. There are many people that have had issues with them....a couple are chronicled on this site.

FWIW that car was being shopped around the wholesale market a couple months ago and the buy number was $130k IIRC. I was not interested so I did not pursue details with regards to history on the car or condition.

Plus.....come on... "246 gts coupe"? That description is wrong on so many levels. Buy one from somebody that knows what a Dino is.

Niiiiiiice. One dealer puting down another. Go figure.

 

That's a bizarre slide show, not one shot of the dash, engine or undercarraige????

 

I bet if you called and asked they would email you such Images.

 

It's a pretty color......

 

Hey, I'm just saying what I've heard, as an individual......I've given props and recommendations for PLENTY of dealers that I know and trust, I'm entitled to tell the truth when I've heard otherwise.

 

Hearsay qualifies and quantifies as truth? Three side to every story.

 

It's so good looking someone local needs to check it out... beautiful pictures...

 

Who in their right mind would even consider buying such a car without first seeing it in person and having it inspected by the likes of JCM or Tim Stanford? Does anybody really buy a $160k car by clicking a mouse? I highly doubt it. Anyone with their faculties in order does diligent research before making such a consideration. I know the car actually has about 25 years of documentation and I would think a real buyer would want to review it.

 

Might be a great car, but:

1. Check it out in person first.
2. Bring a qualified mechanic with you.
3. Take the inaccuracies in the ad into account.
4. Read the other threads about this dealer, then meet the dealer in person, and decide for yourself whether this is someone you want to work with. (I'm not saying he is or isn't, just that my advice on anyone considering a Ferrari purchase is to approach it like a Boy Scout: BE PREPARED.)
