    Ferrari : 348 Spider in Ferrari | eBay Motors

    Recently acompanied a friend to purchase this vehicle. After close inspecton of the vehicle the following was noted:

    - Paint appeared to be in good shape in the pictures but during the inspection showed orange peel all throught the body. The drivers side light bezel showed signs of previous damage. The flip up head lights had a delay when turned on.

    - Seller stated the leather seats was recently painted. The the passenger door panel leather was starting to separate. The steering wheel was starting to seperat at the seems as well. The leather felt hard all throughtout the cabin. The driver side door panel top sill was starting to separate due to the car being left out in the sun. The seller stated the po left the car outside for 2 years and it shows!
    - the sticky stuff on the the vents was repainted without removing or stripping properly
    - Missing floor sills on both driver and passenger side

    - the top was replaced with a generic top, stitching does not match factory and does not close properly. Whoever replaced the top did not take the time to resecure the aircraft cable support.

    - although the seller could not provide any history. The engine sounded solid upon start up with no visible leaks in the engine bay. The break booster compartment had some break fluid on the bottom. The rotors and breaks will need to be serviced not too much life left on the rotors and pads.
    - wheels is a single pc cast aluminum, not three pc as stated in ad
    - the instrument cluster was not secured properly
    If anyone here plan on going to look at the car and would like for me to answer any questions specifically please let me know.

    "I believe the paint to be original except for the front bumper which I had painted due to road chips & a few touch ups from normal wear & tear."

    This is the type of nonsense that makes people tear this guys car apart. "Normal wear and tear"? Wow that must be one of those special bumpers Ferrari put on for people from Florida.

    Nice scam with nice pictures untill you see it up and close to notice it's falling apart
    Also if you buy and change your mind you will lose $2000.00 on the deposit.
    Needs complete interior, body work, door sills, a new rag top tha fits, new break rotors and pads. Vin# ZFFRG43A6R0097251
    Stay away from this one. Not a deal at all.
    No service records and left in the Florida sun to bake over 2 years (quote from the current owner)
    Good luck to all that take their time to look at it.
