Hi, If anyone knows about this 550 that was recently on ebay, let me know as I am seriously considering it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=330038736162&rd=1,1
It's hard to be that! I say go for it. It's A LOT of car for the money. Image Unavailable, Please Login
spend a little more and get a car with less miles unless you never want to sell it. Once it has 30,000 on it you wont be able to sell it.
The price is right on that car. I looked at very hard but really wanted silver or black. They purchased the car for $91.5K so you are buying for low retail high wholesale. It has all of the services done and when I ran the car fax it showed one owner in TX. I do not agree with the issue of not being able to sell the car with more than 30K miles on it. These 550's and 456's are best with miles on them and services done. My friend paid $119K in CA for a 23K miles 00 550(all services completed). My 98 had 28K miles and I sold it for 105K 1.5 years ago and the guy still drives it every day and has 40K miles on it now. He could get 80-85K for the car retail.
The above posts made excellent points on having proper servicing done over the car's life. Also, it is always wise to check for any outstanding upgrades/recalls. The seller could have written better ad text. Phrases like "super exotic ultra clean extremely rare 2000 Ferrari 550 Maranello" just peg my BS meter to the max...
