"Bottom" prices get you "bottom" cars. There's no such thing as a cheap Ferrari. If the purchase price is cheap, owning the car won't be.

Don't know anything about the car from personal experience and was tempted to buy it for a potential twin turbo project. However I was told that it had a number of problems that couldn't be sorted out and decided to go a different way. Any Ferrari purchase should involve a PPI as the repairs can easily exceed what you save on buying a good condition car.

The Ferrari market is an entirely different entity than any other car market I've seen. I've been on the hunt for quite some time now for the right car for me. Every owner always tells me to buy the very tippy top of the market or as close to it as one can afford. Like you say, there is no such thing as a cheap Ferrari.

Is this the same baby blue Ferrari that was at House of Cars a while back?

Hopefully this pic works:

I was told there were rogue electrical problems that kept popping up. The horrible looking wrap job also probably drives people away wondering what on the body is wrong. Sounds like the perfect car for an LS1 swap.....you should do it.

the dealer said the wrap has a 7 yrs warranty, so they can redo the wrap with any color within 7 yrs.. from Shadow Tinting.
not sure if this is true or not.

funny enough I remember having an "encounter" with this car several months back. Some roided out idiot was driving it and pulled up beside me at a red light on McLeod trail.

This was probably 8-9am in the morning on a weekday and this idiot revs his engine to try and get me into a drag race with him. Didn't pay any mind to him but he sure was a real winner doing loser runs on McLeod in the morning on a week day

Bahaha I saw the same guy, most likely the previous owner.

He was at 1410 acting like he was the absolute shit, and then peeled out from the bar.

It was definitely bagged to shit. The wrap job looks horrendous.
