Why Buy My Ferrari?

Buying a used car can be a risky thing, you don't want to get ripped off and you don't want to end up with a car that's got issues that the buyer hid.  I'm a regular guy who's bought used cars too and I understand the concerns.  So in my listing I'm trying to provide all the information and detailed photos that I as a car buyer would want to see to be able to make a confident purchase decision.  I'm a big-time Ferrari/Sportscar enthusiast and the 360 Modena was my dream car when I was younger.  I'm not a millionaire with a bunch of expensive cars.  I make a good living but I had to save a long time to be able to finally afford this car.  So it's not just one of a bunch of "toys" to me, it's a dream come true that I treasured and I treated it that way.  Please read the extensive information and detailed photos of the car (taken on 02/23/14) below and feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.


Vehicle Condition

I bought this car used in November of 2004 from Ferrari of Orange County with around 6K miles on it.  I'm the second owner and it now has 20,328 miles on it.  This car has never been smoked in, no food was ever eaten in it and has never spent a night outside the garage.  It's also been immaculately maintained inside and out by my professional detailer at Lucci Elite Detail.  I drive it just about every weekend to keep the fluids and everything else heat cycled.  It's never been tracked and 90% of the miles have either been highway or scenic local roads.  I've kept on top of all service and maintenance and it has had the cam variator recall performed.  Since this car was driven less than 3K miles a year, an oil change / fluid service was performed every year rather than waiting for enough mileage.  Belts were replaced every 3-5 years depending on my mechanic's inspection and recommendation.  The vehicle just received a major service last year which included replacement of all fuids, spark plugs, belts and belt tensioners and pulleys.  Because of the low miles the brakes and pads still have plenty of life left on them.  I don't drive the car extremely hard and I've always shifted into neutral when idling at a light to prolong the life of the clutch.  I had the clutch life checked a few years ago and it was at 72%.  I just got new wheels and tires last year and they have less than 1,000 miles on them.  I have kept all the maintenance paperwork as well as the spare set of keys and alarm fob (never used) together in a tupperware container.  This car is ready for another 4-5 years of what should only be oil and fluid changes each year.


Exterior
The first thing everyone notices about this car is the wrap job.  It's a full wrap including door jambs using 3M Dark Metallic Grey film, done by the experts at Protective Film Solutions.  It turned out beautifully and I'm really happy with it, I get compliments on it all the time.  I got my car wrapped less than 2 years ago because I wanted to try something new.  There's nothing at all wrong with the factory paint.  The original paint color was Argento Nurburgring (silver) and it was kept in pristine condition and the wrap actually helps to keep it that way by protecting it.  If for some reason you wanted to remove the wrap, you'd have a sparkling silver Ferrari that looked brand new.  To compliment the matte/stealth look I custom painted the 2 rear emblems a satin shadow chrome color.  I also had a light tint film applied to the headlights and a medium tint applied to the sidemarkers and reflectors.  But rest assured, the HID and signal lights still shine through absolutely fine and there is no visibility hazard whatsoever.


Interior Details
The interior is almost completely stock.  The previous owner had a power line wired in just above the rear view mirror for a radar detector which I've never used, but it's there.  The one change I made was a mild upgrade to the stock audio system.  I replaced the stock speakers with Focal speakers and the headunit with a Pioneer unit that supported bluetooth audio.  Sounds much better than stock and the convenience of bluetooth audio and phone calls is a nice one.  I do still have the stock Becker headunit if you want it.  This car does also come with the very sought after factory carbon fiber racing seats that save about 25lbs if I recall correctly.  Be aware that these seats don't have any power adjusments, but if you were to swap back to the basic stock seats the wiring for it is already there, you just plug it in.  There is one area that is less than perfect in the interior and that's the "sticky" buttons and door pulls.  Early year examples of this car used a less durable rubberized coating on the interior window, radio and door switches.  Over time they would get kind of soft and sticky and also peel.  On this car it's pretty minor on the window switches and not an issue on the radio switches because I replaced the headunit.  But the inside door handles are pretty scarred up (see detailed photos below).  It's not something that bothered me enough to fix, but there are several places that offer refinishing services that can get it all looking better than new.


Performance/Handling
I find the performance of this car really good already and the feedback from the pedals, steering wheel and chassis are razor sharp.  I've driven many sports cars and when you drive a Ferrari there's a sense of passion and connectedness to the car that I haven't felt anywhere else.  So I didn't feel that there was much tinkering necessary but I did do a few tweaks.  My favorite is the Tubi "sport" exhaust.  The person I bought the exhaust from said it was a sport version that was slightly louder than the normal Tubi but I never bothered to verify.  That's because I was absolutely blown away by the new sound of the car, it sounds incredible!  I think the sound of this car is at least 50% of the enjoyment.  I coupled the Tubi exhaust to Larini high flow catalytic converters, (which pass smog better than even the stock cats did so no worries there) and B&M drop-in air filters.  The sound of the car now is hard to describe with words.  At low RPMs between 2-3K there is an extremely deep and menacing growl.  This changes to a sporty roar through the middle RPMs and when you hit 7-8K RPM it's the holy grail, it screams that signature Ferrari/F1 racing sound that just rips through the air.  Handling wise the car has been lowered on H&R springs and the front fenders have been rolled for safe clearance.  I was very impressed with the springs, the ride barely got any harsher than stock, it's perfectly fine for long drives (depending on the quality of road you're on of course).  The wheels are custom made 19", staggered and concave Forgestar CF5Vs in textured gunmetal.  The tires are Bridgestone Potenza S0-4 Pole Positions in 235/35/19 up front and 305/30/19 in the rear.  The diameters have only a 1~2% deviation from stock so there's no issues with the speedometer reading or traction control kicking in when it shouldn't.  The car was custom aligned right after it was lowered by West End Alignment the preeminent alignment house in Southern California.  The car handled very well stock, but understeer was definitely noticeable.  With the new tires/alignment the grip is on a different level, I haven't even gotten the tires to chirp once.  The balance is much closer to neutral now and the front end bite into corners is probably the most improved aspect.  Turn-in is super sharp and it just tracks through the corners so flat and stable, it's very confidence inspiring.


Payment
$2,000 deposit through PayPal is required within 48 hours of winning the auction or the vehicle will be relisted.  Remaining payment must be made within 7 days of auction close.  I will not release the vehicle until your payment clears my bank.  If the vehicle needs to be transported, it is the buyer's responsibility to arrange and pay for it.  Serious bidders only please.  If you have any other questions about my car or want to see photos of some other areas, please feel free to "ask seller a question".

2016 Ferrari FF mule sounds super snarly in Fiorano testing

Wed, Jan 14 2015

There are innumerable advantages to a company having its own test track on premises like Ferrari has with Fiorano. The Scuderia may not be able to test its Formula One machinery much on the track these days, what with the limitations placed by the FIA, but the factory can still use the circuit to wring out the road-going machinery it has under development – to say nothing of opportunities for visiting customers, journalists and VIPs. But it also means that the paparazzi know where to look to see what the company has in the works. In this case, supercar videographer extraordinaire Marchettino caught a Ferrari FF prototype running some hot laps around Fiorano. But to what end, exactly, we don't know. With the 458 expected to be updated shortly, the twelve-cylinder, four-seat, all-wheel-drive FF will soon be the oldest model in the company's lineup (introduced as it was in 2011), which would ostensibly put it next in line for a refresh. There've been rumors of a more elegant roofline to replace the hatchback, and even an eight-cylinder version to bring the model down-market slightly – although that might bring it too close to the California T. We'll have to wait and see what Ferrari has in store for its first and only all-wheel-drive model. But as you can hear for yourself in the video above, the exhaust sounds pretty raunchy, even by Maranello standards.

A Ferrari-swapped Toyota GT86 sounds menacing

Mon, Oct 31 2016

Ryan Tuerck and Gumout's Ferrari-swapped Toyota GT86 has clearly been a grueling labor of love. And now, finally, the competition-only car is near enough to completion that the team could fire up for the first time. And the sound coming out of the custom machine is incredible. In addition to putting out a short clip of the engine's glorious sound, Tuerck gives a detailed walkthrough of the entire vehicle and explains some of the custom touches behind the car. The exhaust, which comes out of the front end, for instance, was done to maintain the Ferrari 458 system's length. The result is supposed to mimic the sound of a stock 458, but we think it sounds more brutal than Maranello intended. This content is hosted by a third party.

The vehicle is on track to be completed this month, and we can't wait to see it shred some tires.

Ferrari family won't sell stake in company

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Ferrari may be splitting off from the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group and launching its IPO independently, but those stocks it's going to float are coming out of Fiat's hands. The small portion still held by the Ferrari family looks destined to stay in their control for the time being. According to the latest report from Reuters, Enzo's son Piero says he has no intention of selling any of the 10 percent interest he and his family hold in the company founded by his late father. "I have never sold and I have no intention of doing so," said Piero, as quoted in the report. Piero Ferrari is the illegitimate son of Enzo Ferrari and his mistress Lina Lardi. His half-brother Dino died in his twenties from complications associated with muscular dystrophy, and in accordance with Italian custom, Piero was only acknowledged as Enzo's heir after the death of the father in 1988. Representing the family's holdings, Piero still acts as vice-chairman of the company but devotes his day-to-day to running aerospace manufacturer Piaggio Aero.
