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".

Race recap: 2016 Belgian Grand Prix is a dozen angry laps

Mon, Aug 29 2016

The calm of the Formula One summer break ended with the tumult of the Belgian Grand Prix. The first two days included unusual tire pressures and grid penalties; Mercedes-AMG Petronas' Lewis Hamilton started 21st because of a 55-place grid penalty for engine and gearbox changes, McLaren's Fernando Alonso started 22nd due to a 60-place penalty for the same offenses. The bedlam rolled right into what was effectively an 11-or 12-lap race. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg took off from pole and the cameras barely bothered with him until he took the checkered flag 44 laps later. Red Bull's Max Verstappen bogged from second on the grid, got swallowed by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen on the way to Turn 1, then attempted to recover by sticking his Red Bull's nose between Raikkonen's sidepod and the apex at the first corner. Vettel, who didn't see Verstappen, turned into La Source leaving only enough room for Raikkonen. Three cars don't fit in a space for two cars. Vettel spun, Raikkonen and Verstappen clobbered one another and all three drivers had to pit for repairs. Force India's Nico Hulkenberg zig-zagged his way into second ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, Williams' Valtteri Bottas, and Sergio Perez in the second Force India. On Lap 6 Kevin Magnussen lost his Renault at Raidillon at the top of Eau Rouge and flew backward into an enormous crash. Magnussen escaped with just a cut ankle. The Safety Car paraded the field for four laps before officials red flagged the race to repair the barriers. When racing resumed on Lap 10, Rosberg led Ricciardo, Hulkenberg, Alonso, and Hamilton. Ricciardo stayed ahead of Hamilton to keep second place at the end of the race, Hamilton easily got around Alonso and Hulkenberg to lock up third. Hulkenberg – who'd given up second to Ricciardo by pitting during the Safety Car period – earned another career-best fourth position ahead of teammate Perez in fifth, followed by Vettel and Alonso on recovery drives, Bottas, Raikkonen, and Felipe Massa taking 10th in the second Williams. Rosberg reignited his Driver's Championship charge with the victory, closing to nine points of leader Hamilton. We could argue that Hamilton had an equally good day by driving from 21st to third, limiting his loss to only 10 points. About that Verstappen, though... We've seen far more experienced drivers attempt the same move Verstappen made into Turn 1 – Raikkonen on Bottas in Russia in 2015, for instance.

Ferrari begins releasing official teasers for new supercar

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Regardless of what it will be called, the successor to the Ferrari Enzo will be unveiled next week in Geneva, and like many other automakers, Ferrari will apparently be giving us a slow strip tease of the all-new hybrid supercar.
We've already seen a couple shadowy images of the car's face and rump, but the new shots - provided courtesy of the Ferrari Facebook page - are starting to show us some detail.
The only problem is that we don't exactly know what details we're looking at. In the shot above, that curvy, red real estate could belong to any number of body panels, while the second new teaser shows the Ferrari prancing horse logo with no indication of where on the car it'jk, s located.

Mike Tyson's 1995 Ferrari F50 packs one helluva punch

Tue, Feb 21 2017

Despite a reputation as a bit of a letdown following the now legendary Ferrari F40, the Ferrari F50 is still one of the most raw and unfettered sports cars to ever grace public roads. RM Sotheby's auctions is now selling a pristine 5,694-mile example that was once owned by former professional boxer Mike Tyson. Like Tyson, the F50 and its Formula One derived V12 is sure to leave a lasting impact on anyone that crosses its path. Though the celebrity tax varies from car to car, Hagerty's valuation tool says even a heavily used F50 is still a million-plus dollar car. RM Sotheby's expects the car to sell for between $2.2 and $2.4 million, slightly more than the $2.25 million estimate for a nearly flawless example, which this car appears to be. According to the listing, the car has never been driven hard and has been well maintained throughout its life. The 1990s weren't Ferrari's best years for design with soft edges and questionable fascias. Likewise, the F50 is a love it or hate it sort of design. The paint appears to be in good condition and free of any damage. The bare carbon fiber and leather interior shows little to no wear. The gated manual shifter connected to a 4.7-liter naturally-aspirated 520 horsepower V12 is a combo that's gone out of vogue. The engine is derived from the one that powered the Alain Prost's 1990 Ferrari 641 Formula One car. This car is number 73 out of 349 and one of only 50 built to US spec. Tyson sold the car with roughly 4,900 miles, with the rest accumulating since about 2005. The car's service records are incomplete, though it has had an a couple of engine-out services along a full electronic updates, a new rear seal, rebuilt oil and water pumps, the dashboard pod removed, serviced, and reinstalled, the lighting system upgraded, the ride height actuator replaced, new tires, new fuel bladders, a full brake system service, and new main seals. In addition, the car comes with two sets of tools in the front deck, owner's manuals and warranty booklet in their leather folio, wheel socket, car cover in bag, both the removable hardtop and emergency soft top with bag, utility light, its window sticker, and the "circus trunk" containing roll bars, and a carbon rear tonneau cover. Look for the car to head across the auction block on Saturday March 11. No Internet bidding, but if you have the cash to pony up the you probably can afford to be there in person. Related Video:
