    Has anyone got any info about this 5,800 mile black 1997 355 at Ferrari of Atlanta?
    It had a major service 3 1/2 years ago and there asking $88,500. I think $80,000 with a fresh service would be a good deal. Thoughts and comments are most welcome.

    I have seen the car and it looks pristine. Great buy if you can get it under $79K.

    I saw the car too and I thought it looked pretty good. Price, I just don't know.

    I know the car. It's as close to perfect as a 355 could be. What kind of info are you looking for?

    I called FOA and spoke to Greg. He said that the car is on consignment.
    I guess this means I wouldn't get any type of warranty from FOA? I asked to see the records and he said the owner has them and would have to FedEX them when he gets back from a business trip. Why would this guy hold on to the records when the car is at FOA for the last couple of months? Anyone who is considering buying it would want to review them. Also there is a bid on the car that he has to notify the owner of. He said the car is in great shape but it will need a major soon so I would probably want to go and get that done if I bought the car. Why would I do it now if it isn't needed for another year and a half? It was done 3 1/2 years ago. So I told him I would call next week to see if the owner took the bid that is already out there. So I am disappointed by this news. I was thinking $80k with a fresh service or at the very least a one year warranty but since FOA isn't selling it directly I probably wouldn't get that in the deal. Thoughts and comments are appreciated.
