How bright was this?

Simple. They're not really trying to sell you a car, they're trying to sell their insurance listing service. If you look at their inventory, many of the cars listed (such as the F40) are known to be elsewhere.

 

Not only are they not really trying to sell you a car, they won't sell you one.

Autosource is a scam, period. Long before I actually bought my TR, I tried 40 ways from Sunday to see if any of those Autosource cars actually existed, and were for sale. I've never seen any auto that was ever actually sold by them anywhere.

They want you to buy a listing of insurance companies that do sell salvage, but I had never seen a Ferrari that I would buy. Even if you do buy into their listing service, be very careful about the whole thing.
