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".

Watch 40 Ferrari F12s hit the Nurburgring at once
Wed, Jul 22 2015Of all the cars we'd love to drive around the Nurburgring, the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta ranks pretty high. It's got mountains of power sent from a smooth V12 at the front to a set of fat tires at the back, near-perfect handling balance, anchor-like brakes... we could go on and on, but the point is that it'd be a hoot to drive on any track, let alone the vaunted Nordschleife. As you can see from this video, the boys from Maranello evidently agree. This latest owners' meeting attracted 40 F12s (and at least one California T) to the Green Hell to see how their machinery could handle one of (if not the) most challenging racing circuits in the world. Ferrari's chief test driver Raffaele de Simone was on hand to drive some hot laps, and the owners had the chance to push their F12s to near their limits. The official video footage is a little overproduced, in typical style, and could do with a little less dramatic music and a little more of the unbridled engine and exhaust sounds for which Ferraris are known. But as far as the fantasy of gaining admission to such an elite cadre of supercar owners, this is about as close as most of us are likely to get. Related Video:
Ferrari boss Montezemolo expects big changes from FIA
Mon, 02 Dec 2013You'd think that with former Ferrari principal Jean Todt running the FIA, the relationship between the motorsport governing body and the team he once called home would be a solid one. But his former boss expects more from the organization that overseas Formula One.
In a recent interview (excerpts from which you can read below), Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo pointed to some perceived inconsistencies in rulings made by FIA officials this season and called for "strong changes." Among those controversies was a drive-through penalty handed to Felipe Massa at the season-closing Brazilian Grand Prix last weekend, his last for the Scuderia. Massa was reprimanded for cutting across the white line that marks the exit from the pit lane, the penalty for which dropped him from fourth place in the race to seventh, and cost Ferrari its second place in the final standings for the constructors' championship - and with it a good $10 million in prize money. Montezemolo characterized the penalty as "disproportionate and unjust".
The Ferrari chief also pointed to penalties handed to Mercedes as either too harsh or not harsh enough, calling for greater consistency in FIA rulings and implying that more permanent race stewards be appointed instead of alternating race to race.
The Ferrari 488 Challenge is the one-make series' first turbo car
Mon, Dec 5 2016Ferrari has revealed its newest Ferrari Challenge series racecar, just in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the one-make series next year. The new model is the 488 Challenge, and like its road-going sibling, it features a turbocharged V8. This makes the 488 Challenge the first car in the series to use a turbocharger, and at 670 CV (660 horsepower), it's the most powerful car the series has featured. The car made its debut at the season-ending Finali Mondiali event at Daytona International Speedway over the weekend. In addition to the new powertrain, the 488 Challenge gets other updates compared to its 458-based predecessor. The engine is lighter by more than 43 pounds, and the exhaust has lost nearly 19 pounds. The front bumper and the hood have been completely redesigned, and the rear wing is larger than its predecessor's. Drivers also now have a pair of manettinos (make that manettini) on the steering wheel for managing traction control settings, instead of one like on the road cars. One adjusts when it activates, and the other controls how aggressive the system is when it does kick in. Thanks to these various changes, the 488 Challenge is notably faster than the previous Challenge car, the 458 Challenge Evoluzione. Ferrari claims the 488 lapped its Fiorano test circuit a full second faster than the 458. You'll be able to see this new Ferrari in action in the coming year's Ferrari Challenge Series. But until the series starts, check out our live photos of the new machine above and a gallery of Ferrari-supplied images below. Related Video:
