Does anyone know anything about these 550s?

Hi guys,

Just wanted to see if any of these cars belonged to F-chatters.

why would someone start a bid at ~ $500 less than the buy-it-now?

 

I do know Jim of the sports car company in La Jolla: straight shooter in my estimation. Does a lot of product turnover. The 456 I recently got from him was correctly listed, and VERY competative: I'd recommend him, and easy, very easy to deal with.

just give him a call. He can set up financing too, but I had my own deal thrown together @ a bit better going.

 

Thanks Rik.

I know many here speak of him highly. And though I would give him a try, I was thinking that the car I listed happened to be previously owned by an F-Chatter? In fact I think there was a thread about this car discussing previous damage/bodywork done to it? I'm recalling off memory here, but I also did a search and couldn't find the thread.

Wondering if someone from that thread would recognized the car and chime in.

 

To sell-it-now.

Its a pretty good trick. ebay gets more hits than Hemmings, Traderonline, Ferrariads and pretty much everything else combined.

(I love that color combo)

 

Can someone pull the Carfax on this car? ZFFZR49A5X0115379

Thanks.

 

If you do a little research on this site you will get the picture.

Best of luck! The 550 is a great car!

 

I second that on ISImports--be forewarned...I would work with Jim

 

Garrett, I remember talking to you about this dealer and the problems you went through. I certainly will proceed with caution. One step at a time I suppose. Trying to see if anyone here can pull a carfax on it to begin with.

 

I was watching this one, too. Priced almost $20K under market. I noticed what appears to be excessive wear on the carpet next to the dead pedal for a car with only 15,700 miles.

Clean CARFAX and then a professional PPI would be mandatory.

With two broken wrists and a broken collar bone, I'm suspending my search for the perfect 550, so I didn't follow up.

 

That Grigio Alloy car looks great. It's just happens to be the worst "Off color" of them all and they still want all the $$ for it. That's why it's been there for months. It's probably a great car though. Just don't plan on selling it in less than 2 years.

 

Sold for $92,995. Hope they got a bargain and not a problem.

 

I second that as well. While they do sell cheap, there's always a reason. I wish I had done more research here on f-chat before dealing with them; although I had a fairly happy outcome, I could and should have done a lot better. I can provide details in a pm if anyone's interested.
