What's wrong with it? Apart from a shockingly low price.

50,000 miles and seven owners?

No chance.

Hm, well, it's an owner every 11 months, and ~8000 miles per owner. Is that unreasonable?

I remember when this first came on the market (ages ago) and someone posted that the car would be sold in a matter of hours. Hindsight eh.

Why write that it's had 6 owners, then instantly contradict yourself by saying its actually 7owners? Theres no explanation for the difference.

Having a ferrari with 6,7,8 owners is not unusual at all. I know many mnay owners who only buy and use a car for the summer only then get out of it by winter.
Ferrari owners...a bloody fickle lotfrown

When buying they want a low mileage car. That has never been thrashed, never been tracked, fully stamped service book, only used on sunny days, engine out for cambelt servicing wink and original paint.

Then when they have bought it. They thrash it, track it,miss the occasional annual service stamp,drive it in any weather, ....and pay for the belt service to be done in situwinkand repaint the front bumpers.

Now when its time to sell. Its never been thrashed, never been tracked, miraculously they have a fully upto date service book, only used on sunny days, engine always out for cambelt servicelaugh and never had paint. ....Bloody Ferrari owners.

Ferrarispider-you're so on the money! Everyone can dish it out but few can take it!Everyone wants a car maintained to a standard to which they have never maintained their own cars in the past, cannot afford to mainatin their present vehicle & have no intention of attaining in the future!
I'd extrapolate out further & say that many supercar owners in the UK finance a car they can't afford, drive it for one summer & hope to flick it less than a year later before the deprteciation & the finance company catch-up with them. In other many markets with weaker currencies supercars are relatively more expensive than here & are generally purchased in cash by seriously wealthy people.
