    Nothing seems like an obvious red flag in the ad write-up.
    Mileage is a little high at 39k, but that also usually means it's been actively used and kept in good running order.
    If the service docs check-out, get a quick PPI and buy it.

    Good luck!

    Dr. Who's car? When it went on sale a while back, he posted that he would buy it, so that's a pretty good endorsement. Mileage, schmilage. That is a great price for that car if there are no issues that have developed.

    Are you perhaps talking about ItaliaFan's car?

    ItaliaFan had several problems over the year or two he owned it, but nothing major, as I recall.

    I remember issues with:
    - the check engine light
    - a dead battery once
    - gas cap door (not opening every time)
    - etc.

    Quite a bit of money was spent by Dr. Rob at Ferrari of Tampa, I believe.

    I'm thinking that car might be in pretty great shape at this point.
    However, caveat emptor. YMMV.

    At that price with PPI you can't go wrong...
    like the colors.
    good luck,
    Bill

    the more I think about it I would say it's a great buy...he has 100 % feedback with one sale being over 100k

    Perfect transaction! An Asset to eBay! Thanks!
