some good knowledge please

Welcome to the Board...

And as a Cincinnati guy we are not so far off - I actually grew up in the Marion area (parents still have the farm up yonder..

I would not be so concerned with miles - I would be more concerned with maitenance. AKA I would rather have an 01 spider that has had the 30K (regardless of miles) than an 01 with 1000 miles and no service. Sitting with less than 2K miles per year scares me more than the 5K per year exotic...

There are tons of post on that particular topic - so I won't go into that...

I would check the usual suspects. The Ferrari Market Letter, Dupont, Hemmings, Auto Trader, etc. Get the feel for the price of the year, color and milage. Also check in Ferrariads (above link) most of the members here that have a car for sale - will post it there - and this is a good place to find out the details.

Take your time in looking - wait for the exact one (specs you want) there are 100's for sale right now - so the selection is good.

Feel free to drop me an e-mail if you have any questions or need a second opinion (I as well as others who have been around the Ferrari (and dare I say lambo) market will be glad to help.

Remember get a PPI on whatever car you decide to pursue - the 300 bucks can save you thousands!

PS. I don't know of anyone selling a 360 Spider - but I know a heck of an 04 Lamborghini Gallardo for sale The owner has a new Gallardo Spyder coming in and really doesn't want to have two Gallardos in his garage (his wife will kill me... errrr. Him).

 

Great advice by Richard. i'm in the Columbus area myself. I've purchased one F from MAG, our authorized Ferrari Dealer, and one from FoW. I'd check them out too. Richard, I SO WISH I could take your G off your hands..........also when looking for an F Car, STAY AWAY FROM EVANS AUTOMOTIVE on MORSE RD.

 

Sorry to go off topic - what high school did you graduate from?

I went to Pleasant Class of 1987. My Dad was the owner of Southland Barbershop in the mall in Marion and the one in Cervex Center - His name is Wally (I say this since I think everyone in the area knows my dad).

I grew up (actually on the boarder of Elgin School district and Pleasant. Actually in Prospect (just outside). Nickelson Rd...

We probably lived close to each other...
