I'm talking with a dealer in Long Island about a car. Living in Seattle I don't think I'll be able to go see it in person. Are there any members willing to take a look at it for me? Thanks all, Steve
BTW, it's for this car http://www.ferrarili.com/ferrari-f430-berlinetta-f1-used-2007-c-4055.htm?location=LONG%20ISLAND&make=Ferrari& Anyone know it?
Sorry for posting the *OBVIOUS* so forgive me if it's a foregone conclusion. Have you considered having a third-party conduct a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) on the car to give you a report? I'm not saying I know anyone who can do this, but maybe some NY members can chime in on the advice.
That is a beautiful car. Good luck with the purchase. The car has been barely driven. I wouldn't worry about it.
I'm not too worried about the engine given that it would be CPO. I'm more wanting to see how the car is cosmetically- rock chips, leather, wheels, etc I have gone over the service records and it looks pretty clean.
I'm in the area and will probably be passing by FoLI at least once Saturday. I'll be running between baseball and softball, but if I do get a chance to stop in for a few minutes, I'll take a look and let you know what I see. It'll cost me an extra half-hour or so of "couch time" with Calvin to try and figure out what to do with the Mets, but for a fellow FChatter, we go the extra mile. ...if it's convenient, of course. I'll let you know if I get the chance.
If not, contact the dealer about sending you a bunch of high-res photos of the car. Most will be willing to do that if they know you're serious.
I have bought two cars from them in the past two years and they are a first rate dealer with very high standards. I am sure they will send high res pictures to you
I have purchased many cars from them over the past five years and have used their service department for all my Ferrari's....without a doubt....I can vouch for them without reservation...from the owner to the receptionist they are a class act...
Hi Steve, The car is really beautiful, and I'm so happy to send you hi-res photos. Please email me at [email protected].
