    Hi there-
    Well I decided on the F40 vs. the Carrera GT for a number of reasons so thanks for your help. Unfortunately, the F40 I picked out was just sold about an hour before I decided to buy it. My fault...shame on me....

    Now I need your help in locating an F40. The top priorities for me is that I want an extremely clean car (I am about as nit-picky as it gets), that has a well documented service history with a recent major engine service. No more than 10k miles. Mods are fine as I will probably mod mine anyway. Looking for a real clean car.

    Anyone know of one or has anyone seen one recently for sale? The one I just lost out on was at Lamborghini of Dallas. It was a perfect 4200 mile car. I am feeling remorse so I need to find one fast!

    Need your help!!
    Thanks.

    I don't think I can register a Euro car in CA. If it is possible, something tells me it will cost me more time and money than it would be worth. Has anyone done this?

    Check FML - there are three for sale including what seems to be a good car with a major and warranty from WWoC.

    Wait were do you live? CA as in Canada or California? Either way i think you should check what steve has to offer. Im sure you guys can work something out. Alteast talk to him if your intrested in the car, talking cant hurt no one, it doesnt mean you have to defenetly buy the car. About the car being a Euro model, well i doint know what to say, im sure Steve can also help you out there aswell, since hes bought a couple euro cars and imported them over here to North America.

    Im dissapointed your not going with the Porsche, but its not my descion to make. Either way good luck with any future purchase's.

    Nope. Not a broker. Just looking to purchase an F40. I did find out that, living in CA, makes it almost impossible to get one certified that is a Euro model. Sorry Steve...

    Lamborghini Dallas has one on consignment.

    I stopped by Lamborghini Dallas a few weeks ago to see what they had in the showroom, and I saw the F40. It is in pristine condition.

    LoD does alot of Ferraris on consignment, because the local Ferrari Dealership, Boardwalk FMoD, won't do consignments. The F40 is a local car, I don't know the owner but many Dallas area FerrariChat people do know him.

    I forget what JP told me the asking price is, but it's alot less than a CGT, for sure. :)

    Good luck in your hunting :)

    I beleive he mentioned before he was going for that F40 at Lambodallas and some one had already purchased it and now is asking the forum to help find some one they know selling.
