Holland Ave in Peapack is Ferrari drive

I do know the area and it is a true "car lovers" meca. Many P-cars, F-cars and of course the best of the best in that area. I would love to move down there as well, but it's too far from NYC for me. As for being a "part of the club", you are...your on F-chat! ;-)

 

Welcome to the most active region on the most active board about Ferraris.

Take a minute and fill out your profile as a courtesy to others on this board, and so that we can get to know a little about you.

 

Let me know when you're ready to go for the 993 and I'll be happy to help you find the right one (Black 355 is also the man with P-cars). I myself plan to go the F-car route very soon after spending many years in P-cars (I plan to keep my 993). I can only imagine how beautiful your house must be. Peapack/Gladstone has some incredible older homes that have been renovated to breathtaking detail. I myself love older homes and actually restored my as well...it was originally built in 1870 and has character that just can't be duplicated with new construction. Keep us posted and once again welsome to F-Chat EC!

 

Hire me!

 

i go by there every once and a while, its about 10 minutes from my house

 

yeah, I drive by the stable a lot, my wife also goes over there to that big tack shop

 

...and Symbolic, and AutoSport, and Park Place...

 

True that. I actually bought my first 911 from John @ High Marques and while they do get Top Top Dollar for their cars, they're typically the best examples you will find on the secondary market. Or at least they used to be...

 

Sounds like a nice example and probably a good purchase for you, but you are talking High Marques prices there. A 95 993 will probably wholesale in the high $20's by the time you make your offer...take into account the mileage and condition of the car that you mentioned and I would add maybe $5k to that number and posssibly a couple of bucks or two because you know what you're getting. My 993 is a 96 and is loaded to the gills in excellent condition with 43K miles. I would ask about $40K realistically for my car and the 96 is a much better buy due to the Varioram as opposed to the 95. Just a little food for thought.

I work for IDG which is a Boston based B2B Technology Publishing Company. Are you in the biz or know someone who is?

 

You work for IDG? i think you own some of the dork books I wrote for in College... I had no idea!

 

Yep. We created the "Dummies" books. Sold the company about a year or so ago though. We also owned Cliff Notes and sold them as well. Moved out of the book publishing arena altogether...

 

I'm thinking about buying a large publishing company. What are you up to these days?

 

When you say up to, I would imagine you mean stock price/valuation? If so, we're a privately held company with annual revenues that exceed $4 Billion. Last time I checked, we weren't looking to sell any of our properties, but hey if you've got some $$$ burning a hole in your pocket let's talk! ;-)

 

The Stable had an Espada for a while in the showroom, and once I was in there they had a 275 in the shop with the engine out. Paint was in terrible shape.
