    The wheel style doesn't really matter to me. I understand the 89's are quite a bit more and don't know if I'm willing to pay the extra 15k i have seen them advertised for, but you never know. Thanks everyone for responding. please keep it up, I am serious. I have already had two cars pulled out from under me and am on an emotional roller coaster.

    Welcome to the experience of finding your first Fcar! If I may impart one piece of wisdom:

    Check your emotions at the door... There are *plenty* of cars - just like the one you want - out there. Don't buy one that is below your standards or not quite the right color "just because." You'll regret it down the road.

    I will take your advice. Getting a couple of cars pulled out from under me is disappointing, but like most situations, it is toughening me up for the next ones. I will not buy acar that is below what i want. thanks for the advice.

    Nick,
    Just curious why you are selling so soon? I remember how long you went back-and-forth before jumping in. How did the car meet with your expectations?

    I reckon I'm just not a Ferrari guy. My heart doesn't skip a beat and I don't get goose bumps from driving it. I am asking exactly what I paid for it. I've had no problems with the car so far. The battery died on me once because I didn't realize I had to rev the engine on startup to get the alternater going.

    I'll be going back to an NSX.

    i just took 50+ very high resolution pics. If you have a dial-up connection do not bother clicking on the link. You will see more detail than if you were inspecting the car in person.
