Sold Ferrari 456 LHD Manual Turret assembly + connection rod for 575/599/612 conversion

oooo

 

Buyer beware, this is a potential scammer

Strung me along for 4 months regarding this item (turret and rod) that was not listed anywhere(the rod was listed seperately on his ebay store). We agreed on price (he named it), then it was changed - increased of course, with excuses that there is some mystical "other guy", then there were excuses that he is sick, that he is superbusy, then that he is not able to get to the warehouse bla bla bla (since 27th of september 2024). After all the patient wait the items appear here - all while he is bulshitting me that there is another interested party. Got his contacts and first question was - how much do you offer? - i offered 1500eur (because of course the buyer wants it cheaper) then there was the story of "another guy" who offered 2000gbp - i asked whether i am the first in line - answer was yes! i agreed on 2000gbp - and thought that is the end of that

Later on he sent the pictures listed and said the "other guy" had offered 3200eur (which is close to 2k gbp and 800 for the rod) i thought weird - we kinda agreed on this, but ok. i said 3200eur is ok lets just get it over with. Since i live some 5 hours from him i offered cash - he became weary of this but said - next week we will finalize the deal.

Next week arrives with a new price hike - "the other guy offered 4400eur" in between comes an offer for the lot - 4900eur including the gearbox as well.

getting angry at this i went for the last offer of 4500 but cash only - this is where he became very flaky and weary - just the transfer!!! this just gave more and more scammer vibes weather he has the parts at all or these are stolen pictures from the web. played along and offered 4750eur for the turret/rod then he asked to at least wire 250 as a downpayment - i refused said only cash

and yesterday evening i stumbled upon this thread here.

so either a scammer or an ******* of a human being that does not honor his word.


for those interested - these bits are available new from Ferrari (turret and rod come to 6196 euros without the gate) as well as a reproduction unit at 5300euros + 1k+ for the rod

so pissed for all the time wasted with empty promises, i will go for the new reproduction unit. i believe everyone should know this in case you get some other bits of Ferrari from this guy in Estonia. Have all the whatsapp chats, ebay messages, phone number, full name, bank details

for those interested here is full list of parts (rod/turret) for 550 maranello, the rod he is selling will not fit to 575 (which i have)
