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's Enzo successor to cost 1M euros?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

If you're planning to pick up the newest hypercar from Ferrari, you may need to do more than save your pennies. Automotive News Europe reports the Enzo successor will cost more than 1 million euros, or $1.34 million at current conversion rates. That's before taxes, too. All told, Ferrari will build just 499 examples of the tentatively named F150 according to reports. The Italian automaker has neither confirmed nor denied the price or production figures, though Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has said the machine is already sold out worldwide.
We do know the hybrid will serve up more than 900 horsepower thanks to a new naturally aspirated V12 direct-injection engine and an electric motor. The automaker says its HY-KERS hybrid system has cut fuel consumption by some 40 percent. Of course, adding an electric motor to the party has added some 330 pounds to the driveline, a fact Ferrari has offset by using carbon fiber for the machine's chassis. Word has it the F150 will have a curb weight similar to the Enzo at a shave over 3,000 pounds.

Take a video tour of the Ferrari F12 TdF's V12 engine

Fri, Oct 16 2015

Ferrari's transformation of the F12 Berlinetta from a handsome GT into a road-devouring monster – the F12 TdF – seems impressive. To make sure the engine has a wail to match the threatening exterior, the Italians massaged the 6.3-liter V12 up to 769 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. It now redlines at a screaming 8,900 rpm, and propels the coupe to 62 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds. This new video takes viewers inside the upgraded mill to illustrate how these improvements were made. Among the host of changes, the intake receives variable-geometry intake trumpets. Even in his computer-animated video, they're amazing to watch in action. Ferrari has some other tricks too, though. Let the company show you the benefits of all the tweaks in this clip.

Watch Rimac's Concept One roast a LaFerrari and Tesla Model S in a drag race

Tue, Aug 16 2016

It's been five long years since Rimac Automobili took the covers off of its Concept_One at the Frankfurt Motor Show. From the very beginning, Rimac has confidently touted the supercar's capabilities, but now we actually have proof of just how capable the Concept_One really is. Here's your takeaway: It's quick enough to show a Ferrari LaFerrari its taillights through the quarter-mile. If you've spent any time clicking around on YouTube, you've seen the Tesla Model S P90D trump all sorts of high-performance cars. In this video, the Tesla is really only there for reference, because the way the Concept_One bests the electric sedan is just brutal. For those not familiar with Croatia's electric machine, here's the lowdown: 1,088 horsepower and 2,800 pound-feet of torque thanks to four electric motors that put everything down off the line Zero to 62 mph in 2.6 seconds, 6.2 seconds to get to 124 mph from a standstill, and 0 to 186 mph in 14.2 seconds An independent gearbox for each electric motor with the front featuring single-speed gearboxes and the rear axle using two-speed double-clutch gearboxes Rimac All Wheel Torque Vectoring (R-AWTV) system that calculates the optimum amount of torque for each wheel On paper, the Concept_One makes a Tesla Model S P90D with Ludicrous Mode look slow. But a LaFerrari isn't a Model S. And it's definitely not an electric car. It's a stampeding thoroughbred with a naturally aspirated V12 and an electric motor that together make 950 horsepower. It can blitz the quarter-mile in roughly 9.8 seconds and is faster than the majority of cars on the road today. Granted, the LaFerrari is quicker to 60 mph than the Concept_One, at 2.5 seconds. In essence, this race between two titanic machines should be close. But it's not. It's not even close to being close. It's a massacre.
