Dear Friends, You have all been very helpful to me in the past and I need some advice about a possible purchase. I saw Red/Tan 1996 Spyder at Phillips Auto in Newport Beach, California earlier today. The vin is # ZFFXR48A2T0104780 and has all the paperwork, photos, receipts and 15,945 miles and asking $81,980. I would really appreciate any input on this car in particular and the people at Phillips Auto and of course the price/value relationship. All the best and thanks in advance for your help.
If this one is still available, it looks like a good deal also.. http://www.ferrarichat.com/ferrariads/showproduct.php?product=2345&sort=1&cat=11&page=1
