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".

Ferrari considering return to Le Mans racing in 2015
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Rumors are swirling that Ferrari may be contemplating a return to Le Mans racing as soon as 2015. Germany's Auto Motor und Sport reports the Italian automaker may apply the development of a new 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engine for Formula One to an LMP1 car for Le Mans, and have it ready for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in two years. This follows hints made by Scuderia Ferrari CEO Stefano Domenicali last month that the newly developed F1 engine could be used for "some interesting projects."
Ferrari has a history of success in Le Mans racing, though it hasn't won the big endurance outright since 1965. The image above captures the exact moment when the No. 21 car of Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt crossed the finish line that year to win the race. That win was the last of six consecutive outright victories before the infamous arrival of the Ford GT40 in 1966. Despite never reaching the top of the podium again, Ferrari's nine wins still stand as the third most overall by a manufacturer behind Porsche (16) and Audi (11).
If Ferrari does return to Le Mans in 2015, the LMP1 class will suddenly be teaming with worthy competitors for Audi, which has dominated the race since 2000. After Peugeot's exit from the sport in early 2012, Toyota entered the race in 2012 and has continued to develop its TS030 Hybrid LMP1 car. Porsche, meanwhile, is well into developing a new LMP1 car that will first compete in next year's race.
Ferrari 458 Speciale A trots out its 597 sun-drenched ponies [w/video]
Thu, Oct 2 2014To say that Ferrari has made some powerful drop-tops over the years would be like saying the Pope has been known to make a couple of blessings here and there. There was the F50, the 575 Superamerica and the 599 SA Aperta, to name just a few. But this is the most powerful Spider it has ever made. Taking its curtain call at the Paris Motor Show today is the new Ferrari 458 Speciale A – successor to the F430-based 16M Scuderia Spider and lovechild of the 458 Spider and 458 Speciale. That means it's got the same 4.5-liter V8 – all 597 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of it – as the Speciale coupe, but with the folding aluminum roof from the Spider. Best of both worlds, as they say - especially with a 0-62 time quoted at three seconds flat. But since Maranello will only produce less than 500 of them, you'd better check it out in our gallery of live shots above. This content is hosted by a third party.

Photographer streaks Ferrari California T in glow-in-the-dark paint
Mon, Apr 13 2015Swiss photographer Fabian Oefner is known for splashing paint and deconstructing cars to create beautiful and unique images. Like Ferrari, Oefner combines art, design and science in his creations. So he was a natural choice when the automaker began looking for a unique way to introduce the2015 Ferrari California T to the world. After taking the California T for a test drive, Oefner wanted to convey the feeling of the swift 553-horsepower vehicle, according to PetaPixel. Oefner scaled up his past experiments with color and blasted $190,000 the sports car with gallons of UV activated paint. By doing it in a wind tunnel with nothing but UV lights blazing down on the car, he hoped to capture the quickness of the California T while the car itself remained motionless. The resulting video is astonishing. The Ferrari looks as if it's being pulled out of the darkness by brilliant rivers of glowing color. The video, entitled 'The Art of Form', is a beautiful way to highlight the new design of this classic nameplate. This content is hosted by a third party.
