    All--

    Mr. Whitesell--who's opinions I respect, has suggested that this color combo may be a tough resell. Your thoughts?

    The car is on the FofAtlata website and I am in discussions with them now. Thoughts on price, etc. also appreciated.

    I own a 99 456M GTA in that color combination and I also had a red/tan ferrari. I can tell you I get more compliments on the 456 and more pictures taken of that car than the red tan. It is not a hard sell once you see it. I really enjoy my car

    How did you end up with this Jeff? I see there are several other 456's around for sale now.

    Mark--

    They have not budged. It is a consigned car and they can't even reach the owner, nor did they offer me fair money on the P car.

    Slide me some info on these other cars.

    Y'all hanging on Friday? May be able to make it this week.

    Yeh we are. I'll text you the place on Friday morning.

    I talked to Levi and he told me they were firm on the price. He knew it was higher than where it needed to be. I had mine over there changing the shocks. I may sell you mine at the end of the year, since I may try and pick up something crazy like a 550 barchetta.

    IMO the 456 is not at its best in red (unless a dark shade) it wears dark colors best. TDF with crema is a very nice combo especially on the 456 it seems popular with many including myself. I'd buy it

    FoA has had this car for a long time. I was there in August 2005, I saw this car and they were asking more money for it. The colors IMO looked great together. I was looking for a 456 at the time but I wanted 6 speed and red. I ended up buying a 2001 456MGT in Rosso Fiorano and I love it.

    They sold it since then to the current owner. He is the one who will not budge on the price.
