f355 near phx

Is there anybody in the Phoenix area that has seen this f355? It is located at Autojunction. The vin ZFFPR41A0S0100364. Pics look good but....No mention of service really. Thanks http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/ctd/1022330162.html

Also, is that an aftermarket ashtray?

 

Looks like a stock ashtray that has been scrubbed clean of the rubberized coating. New ones are $400-500 or so, haven't checked recently.

Damn, 355Bs are cheap right now, only 16K miles? Get her checked, and buy that sucker. I love my nero/tan to death.

 

Auto Junction has a strong pipeline of cars from the Scottsdale high line dealers. They seem to get cars from dealers that don't handle them, dealers that already have too much inventory, cars that have imperfect histories (not salvage, just imperfect so not worth top dollar), or from previous clients (i.e. not auction bargain hunters). Unlike most dealers that price cars like mall jewelry stores (profit taking from the careless or expecting to woo you with a hefty discount), AJ tends to price market correct for quick sale - current market not withstanding. I bought my car at AJ, which was a trade to Scottsdale Ferrari.

The ad mentions service. Chances are, they had the car serviced knowing it will make for an easier sale. Obviously it will not be a "no expense spared" restoration, but I'd expect a standard 30k and anything else needing correction would have been done. (Call them and ask for details.)

For PPI, Scottsdale Ferrari is like 3 miles from them. Even closer, ~1 mile away is Redline Motorsports (http://www.redlinewins.com). I've had good experience with both places. Either of those shops should be able to render a fair opinion.

I will be in Scottsdale in a couple weeks. If you're serious about the car, PM me. I'll go over to have a look and take some additional pics for you and/or discuss my experience with AJ. If you're interested in a Nero spider, mine will be going into FerrariAds this weekend.
