    Ad says all options but I see no FHP wheels - so far it has escaped Terry's master list - make sure it has two keys and three fobs and everything else listed in the buyers guide (unless the price really is very good) - mileage is a little low (except for srslusso and other concours fiends !)

    19" wheels and FHP were separate options. Mine came with FHP and 18" wheels.

    Yeah, the mileage is a little low, as is the price so I'm proceeding with caution. I've seen the maintenance records and they are mostly pretty good and up to date, but...I guess we will see what the PPI says. I'm mostly concerned about compressions, rubber in the fuel, and any lurking suspension issues. And motor mounts. And...and... :)

    Rubber in the fuel is a 550 problem not shared by the 575M. No rubber fuel pump mounts in the 575.

    Compression will likely not be an issue, either, since the 575s have sintered steel valve guides.

    Who’s doing the PPI? Bethesda is not too far from me (30 minutes or so).

    I paid give or take the same price last month for a 2002 red/tan tubi and xpipe, daytona seat, rear leather shelf car w/20k so price is solid. Dealer wouldn't budge off the $104 level. It was frustrating at first but looking around, no other red/tan with shields was anywhere near that price they all seemed to be asking way more. Got the dealer to toss in a new battery and a major at an indy shop. Clutch on mine was 2500 miles old.

    FOW. If you get a wild hair and want to go by and have a look, please let me know what you think! PPI isn't until the 2nd, assuming no one grabs it.

    Good to know, thanks! Not a bad deal, especially with the major thrown in, I think. This one is only a year in, otherwise I'd try that :)

    ya car wasn't "perfect" and I knew that it had a tiny nick on the rear quarter panel and then the side mirrors had nicks as well. I didn't think anything of them bc it was my first ferrari and the price was low, I just figured I could buy a bottle of touchup paint like EVERY DEALER SELLS. Ferrari doesn't have bottles of touchup paint so not sure how I get a bottle of rossa corsa touchup paint. My car isn't a concourse car but for $104k its still red/tan and got its belts swapped before i took it, I felt it wasn't a bad deal.

    Well, the car passed the inspection quite nicely. A few items, but all pretty innocuous (I hope). Looks like next week I will own a 575 :)

    Will do! I think it is a nice one :) FOW was very complimentary of the condition inside and out and seemed genuinely surprised by the price. Clutch is at 96%, runs strong, cosmetically very nice. Only things are H2O temp sensor needs to be replaced and it will be due for a major next year. They did notice a slight fuel odor around the filler but were unable to detect any leaks and figure someone must have done a sloppy job putting gas in it.

    Surprised I haven’t seen this one around, but I guess being driven less than 1k miles a year doesn’t get much visibility! Also amazing that this week’s PPI already shows on the CARFAX!
