    Does anyone personally know this car?

    Says documented maintenance to 2010. I really want a driver that I don’t have to stress about—if the records check out, wouldn’t it make sense to buy a well maintained high mileage car?

    Let’s say I’m good with 10-15k a year in maintenance and repairs. How bad an idea is this?

    For $54k? Seems like an absolute bargain. Get it looked at, or look at it yourself.

    I have driven my 612 coast to coast, and it is a fantastic experience!

    EDIT: Google tells me that Ron Tonkin sold this car back when it had 53,000 miles.

    I searched "Ferrari 612" and the VIN.

    This is what it found:

    https://veh-markets.com/cars/ferrari-c/161123-2006-ferrari-612-scaglietti-fully-serviced-aluminum-brake-calipers.html

    Probably nothing you couldn't find with the Carfax, honestly. I notice it has Oregon plates in the RTGT images-- I've probably seen it back in the day, but can't recall.

    I will say that Blu Mirabeau is a fantastic color!

    Great, thanks. This seller bought it in 2020, I think at around 62k miles.

    Hopefully I didn’t just snipe myself by posting it on here.

    It looks good to me and the price is right. However, I would have a professional with a SD3 or Loeonardo or similar check it out.

    Hi All. This is my car and has been my daily driver for the last 4 years and 30k wonderful miles. It has never stranded me including numerous trips up and down California. I’ve done most of the basic maintenance myself (with receipts of course). For serious work I shipped the car to Roberto at Roselli’s in San Jose. It’s been a great car but time to let someone else enjoy her. Glad to answer any questions.

    As you should! FYI…I received a full price offer awhile ago. He didn’t ask any questions, so I’m not quite sure what will happen. But I’ll let you know.

    Oh, I just realized that I am listed as living in Sunnyvale, Ca. I’ve been in La Quinta, Ca (near Palm Springs) for a couple years. Forgot to update.

    A high mileage Ferrari shouldn't scare you off. Infact I think higher milers often drive /feel better than low mileage counterparts. The caveat being a car that had all the miles in the first few yrs then sat... 54k seems like a bargain, cheaper than my M2! If maintenance records up to date and inspection looks good... Do it.. my 2c
