    if it PPIs on Monday I have to take it, the price is too good to walk away from. I think it is sooooo gorgeous, V12 with Tubis sounds soooo good, and it is sooooo fast. I was originally wanting a 360 but I am very excited about adding this one to my stable. Last chance for you guys to talk some sense into me.

    Ferrari0324 has sat in an Enzo (from your profile), enough for me. I trust your judgement. I will buy it.

    Titanium360 has owned more 360s than any man should, and is deserving of an answer. 2000. 9500. 115K.

    Has it had the Major done? If so great price - if not still a good price figure 5 - 10K to ensure they do everything while they are in there to make everything perfect and worry free... The 550 is a great car!!

    Best of luck,

    Rich

    just the truth.

    Why do you love the 550 so much? 3rd one owned. I have to respect that. AND, why are you going backwards, 2000, 1999, now 1998? Something I should know?

    Steve, you can't beat the price only if you love the interior color. Unfortunately i am not a big fan of red interior and that has probably something to do with the dollar it is bringing in.

    As an example i know of a 01 550 Titanium on dark blue with around 7500K miles which you can probably have for around $135K-$140K which is a major spread and this is from an authorized dealer. either way it's is a great great car and you will enjoy it. use it in good health.

    I love black on the 550. it is a bad ass car.

    FMJ = foul mouthed jerks..

    Guy I know & whose car I sometimes co-drive in races has the domain, and his own web hosting company, so he gave me an email address & webspace there. It is an address I can post here w/o having my name visible to the world.

    It went '99 - '00 - '98. The first two were new. The third one just kinda happened.

    Steve, thats a terrific price if its a US car with no previous damage or other contributing factors. Has the major service been performed?

    Steve,

    I recognize Anil's car from the pictures. I drove it a couple of months ago thinking that I might buy it. Wonderful car that drives very well. My impression was that Anil took very good care of it. Make sure that you get the original wheels he has in addition to the wheels on the car. Congratulations on the purchase and see you and the next 4th Saturday breakfast!

    Kevin
