456 at Verdi's

Anyone know the above car, before I go to see it. Not really fussed about miles or running cost. I suppose it will always be worth 10k. Will Come serviced and belted on delivery, and a in-house warranty. I Willl probably do 5k miles in it over 3years.

PS It's the Argento car for 22k

No help to you at all, but thank you very much for bringing these to my attention.

Fantastic value weekend car and as you say will always be worth 10k so a little risk.

[Flatnose]

Thanks will

I toyed with the idea of this one, spoke to them briefly about it. Thought about putting in a cheeky offer, but decided to wait.

The other thread doesn't give much away. Neither can I find other info. I'm not too bothered if the car checks out. If they are going skint then all I really lose is the warranty, can live with that subject to a PPI and CHAPS sametime and day. If this is the case then the only other thing I need to know is the car belongs to them and is not an innocent SOR.

Don't want this thread shut down.
Any PM would be welcome.

Have a look at the FerrariChat thread - more details there than PH will allow.

Why not go and test drive it, if you like it, get the log book, call the last owner, make sure it's all as it seems, pay for it and drive it home! Simples!

[Flatnose]

Thanks Willl, with some more unearthing, no point getting involved. Plenty more fish in the sea!

Regarding the car (and not the other stuff), I think it is likely to be SOR but I don't know for sure.

I have seen this car (but not looked at it with a buyer's eye). I have a little bit of history on it but don't know the current/last owner.

Just flicked through Ferrari chat and plenty of info there. Including a personal experience from a well known journalist, evo contributor and PH'er.

that IS tempting. Always fancied the 456 myself.
Keep us updated!

please consider everything in this thread before buying, tread very carefully!

That's quite high mileage in my opinion and might be very difficult to sell once you've added another 10-20k.
If you bought a low mileage one like mine with less than 20k miles it'd cost another £10k, but would be far easier to sell when you decided you wanted a change.
Looking at it another way you could do 5k miles a year for 11 years and depreciation [due to mileage] would only be £900 a year.
At high mileage you also need to factor in cost of replacing major items which on a 456 can cost £££££££'s

[Flatnose]

Won't be my only car. Not really fussed about miles, as long as its a good one. I'm buying to use rather than polish.

[JasonSF]

I think you should give verdi's a call ad at least go and see the car. Have a deal for it. If the car is on sor. Simply ask to meet the owner there and pay him direct. Verdi's will get their commission I am sure. It's the cheapest 456 you are lightly to find and they are very robust once the known faults are sorted. Which most are now.

[Flatnose]

Yeah did think about that, BUT have you read the comments made by Godzilla. Sometimes it's not worth the aggro. Just seemed a reputable dealer no other reason for looking there.
