First US 575M on E-Bay

Very nice! The "buy it now" price seems reasonable in current market.
Here is the link for the lazy folks among us:

Interesting that it has Barchetta modulars on it. Using up leftover stock?

 

Anybody check the Carfax?

 

To each his/her own but I'd rather listen to the music that starts under the hood and have more trunk space with lower weight. I mostly use the radio only when parked. Do you guys think the audio equipment affects the car's value much?

 

Here it is. Gorgeous car! Love the color combo! Would look great with my 360

Beautiful colour combo. Too rarely seen in the UK.

 

I love the exterior colour but not sure if I'm a fan of the blood red interior as a match to that exterior. Personally I would have preferred shade of tan or even black, but that's just me.

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but the dealer has a history. Caveat Emptor. There's no place near SLO to get a PPI done, AFAIK, but it's a definite must.

I'm reviving this thread - this car resurfaced in the Classifieds last month, and I'm currently in the process of purchasing it. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/575m-f1.607771/

The current owner seems to have taken the car back closer to stock; the subwoofer and aftermarket head unit are gone, the door panel speakers are still there, the 18" modulars (which I confirmed weren't a factory option on the car) have been replaced with stock 18" 575M wheels. Unclear what the situation with the floor mats are, but I'm not particularly concerned. The dealer sale posting from 2016 suggests that it has a Tubi exhaust, I don't know about that either.

The car is currently at Ferrari of Costa Mesa getting a new clutch, clutch position sensor, and regular service. Anything in particular I should ask about?

 

Vivek, I think you have a bargain. Great car, and historic per Taz original post. Congratulations!

 

Very elegant in that color! Congrats

 

My U.S.-spec 2002 575M (serial #126970) has assembly number 44120, so I believe it is the first 575M built for the U.S. market.

I made a comment on that other thread but here as well....just as a datapoint from the registry in Nathan's book....

the book notes the first US Delivered 575 was allegedly 126896 R/C over tan (noted as a 2001) then there were the following...
+) 126898 R/C over tan (noted 2001)
+) 126899 R/C over tan (noted 2001)
+) 126969 Nick/White Out's prior car Grigio Titanio/Bordeaux (noted 2002)
+) 126970 Blu Pozzi over Cuoio (noted 2002) with red calipers, shields, and daytonas

 

Eric:

I am an advocate of using the Assembly Number, as opposed to the serial number, to determine a Ferrari’s build sequence.

The serial number is established when the purchase/production order is written but the Assembly Number is assigned as soon as the car starts rolling down the assembly line.

In short, the car doesn’t physically exist until the Assembly Number is assigned.

Does anyone have the Assembly Numbers for the above listed cars?

many thanks,

Your commentary seems correct/reasonable. The registry doesn't show the AN on those listed. Perhaps someone else has the info.

 

Taz:

My door-jam data plate shows a date of January 2002.

Alan if you bought a limited carfax 3 vin search package you could run those cars and see where they are in the country (just an idea)…..

Since you have the chassis number you can back into the whole vin
