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 458 Speciale buyers told to spec options to secure orders
Tue, Nov 25 2014Want to get your hands on a Ferrari 458 Speciale? You're in good company, because demand for what could be the last naturally aspirated V8 supercar from Maranello is apparently soaring. As a result, some buyers who've already placed their orders are reportedly being "advised" to add on extra options or risk losing their place on the waiting list to someone who will. The news comes from UK-based Magnitude Finance, whose director Tim Marlow said, "One client ordered the car many months ago but he was subsequently advised to increase the options he selected to guarantee delivery simply because others are prepared to go pay over the odds to get one new." Another Magnitude client was asked by the dealer "on five occasions to say others wanted to buy it if he changed his mind." Reached for comment, Ferrari spokesperson Krista Florin told Autoblog: "As with any Ferrari, customization is offered as a service to make each car unique. However, there are no requirements in order to secure an order." The options list on the 458 Speciale can add up fast. Active headlights add over $2,500 to the price, fitted luggage nearly $11k, leather interior and front lift system a solid $6k each and those NART stripes another $11k. Ordering items like the engine cover ($7.8k), rear diffuser ($9.6k) and outer sill cover ($10k) in carbon fiber can add to the $288k base price as quick as the Speciale can gather pace. That's how our recent tester ended up topping $336k – and that's if we could actually get one. Part of the demand is surely coming from moneyed enthusiasts keen to take possession of one of the finest mid-engined supercars Ferrari has ever made, but the demand and values are surely being driven up as well by speculators. "Everyone we speak to sees this as the next appreciating model over the long-term like the 360 Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia 16M before it," added Marlow, "so demand is really high." We can only imagine that demand has been even higher for the convertible version, as Ferrari will only make 499 examples of the 458 Speciale A, putting the roadster in an even more rarified class. Ferrari 458 Speciale demand (Leeds: UK. November 2014). Customers are going to extraordinary lengths to buy the Ferrari 458 Speciale, luxury car finance specialist, Magnitude Finance, reveals. Earmarked as a potential collector's item, some prospective buyers have been told a GBP20,000 deposit would only put them on a list of 'possible clients' but not guarantee an order.
Montezemolo says he has "no good news" on Schumacher
Fri, Feb 5 2016Former Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo said on Thursday that he has "no good news" about Michael Schumacher's condition. Speaking to journalists on stage in Milan at the Quattroruote Day, where he was awarded the Premio Gianni Mazzocchi in memory of the newspaper's founder, di Montezemolo was asked about the seven-time world champion. And more than two years on from the skiing accident that left Schumacher with serious head injuries, di Montezemolo suggested there had been no positive developments. "I have unfortunately not good news," di Montezemolo said on stage. "Michael was a great driver, and we experienced a long time together in both our personal and professional lives. But life is really strange. "He was the most successful driver of Ferrari and in his career he had only one accident, in 1999. But unfortunately a fall in a ski accident has had serious consequences." The Schumacher family has kept details of the German's conditions a closely guarded secret, although has made it clear that he faces a long recovery. Earlier on this year, Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm slammed as 'irresponsible' a report that he was able to walk again. "Such speculation is irresponsible, because given the seriousness of his injuries, his privacy is very important for Michael," she said. "Unfortunately they also give false hopes to many involved people." This article by Jonathan Noble originally appeared on Motorsport.com, the world's leader in auto racing news, photos and video.

249 reasons you want to go to Goodwood Revival
Sat, Sep 16 2023At its most basic, Goodwood Revival is a long weekend worth of car races featuring cars made before 1970. There are lots of those, though, including some pretty great ones all over the world. But nothing is like Goodwood Revival because it's so much more than "just" vintage car racing. First, you have to look the part. Attendees are strongly encouraged to dress in period clothing from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, with a strict dress code enforced should you want to enter the paddock. The goal is to create a more authentic atmosphere to match the cars and the meticulously restored and recreated paddocks, grandstands and other facilities of the reborn Goodwood circuit. Now, the dress code was relaxed this year since the Saturday was literally the hottest Sept. 9 on record in that part of England, and the organizers didn't want people dropping dead because they needed to wear an ascot. Some people definitely took the "relaxed" bit too far, but there was still plenty of atmosphere maintained. It really does make a big difference, as those "relaxed" individuals were often akin to seeing a Starbucks cup in a scene from "Game of Thrones." You can see what I came up with below along with former Autoblog editor Reese Counts and various other Goodwood attendees. Second, there's the parking lot. But I'll let this entire separate post detail that. Third, there's the enormous carnival-like area featuring vintage-looking rides and various boutiques. Both of those are on the outside portion of the track, and honestly, you could easily just spend your entire day in the parking lot and carnival/shopping area without even crossing over into the circuit area. There you'll find more shops, food and drink opportunities, plus obviously, race car paddocks and the track itself. Fourth, there are airplanes! I heard there are fewer than in the past, but they're there and they're cool. The Goodwood circuit started out life as the perimeter road around the World War II airfield RAF Westhampnett. Fifth, with all of the above, Goodwood Revival really is fun for the whole family. It isn't just a bunch of old guys sitting around in lawn chairs. There are plenty of women and adorably dressed children, including babies in vintage prams. It's also not an event that's exclusively for the uber rich, even if they are certainly in full force given who has the sort of money needed to go vintage racing.
