    What are the best places to have a PPI done on a Ferrari 355 in Denver?

    I have heard of Dave Helms in Boulder and Ferrari of Denver. What are the other places to have it done?

    Also, any info on approx. cost would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Mark

    To buy a used F car, you better check with Dave Helms at Scuderia Rampante
    303/938-9000. Just remember that he will be gone from the 3rd till the 10th of February. he will be straight forward with you . Good luck

    Since you're living at the Fort, you might check with Steven at poudre sport across from Tynan's. They did a very good job for me in the past.
    Keep me posted if you go the P car direction.
    BTW, I have a 993 C4S for sale 30000 miles.

    If the car is located near a dealer why would you consider doing a PPI on a late model Ferrari anywhere else? Ok, so I'm a bit biased but it just makes sense:)

    If I still did PPI's,
    Experiance, Knowledge of the marque, Respect for the marque, Decades of experiance with the marque, and Factory Trained on that model would be a start.
    I no longer do PPI's due to the conflicts they present. For a couple of hundred $'s I am going to make someone angry, which is contrary to what I have worked for at my shop. There are no perfect cars regardless of what any seller says. The truth can be hard to come by these days!
    Sorry Derek, sometimes I just have to stand up for myself and Scuderia Rampante.

    Where else can a non-Ferrari expert go for a PPI?

    Also, any idea on ball park pricing for a 355?

    You can always go to FOD, they know what to look for and will get you a honest opinion on the car status. LOL

    Don't worry Dave, I respect what you do and you have every right to stand up for yourself. My comments weren't directed squarely at you. If I were to purchase a car like a Ferrari, I would want a PPI done at the local Dealer...that is all:)
