TDF 355 on fleabay

[3200gt]

Anyone been to see this? why so cheap? This is the second time I've noticed it on fleabay this month.
Dont think it had any bids last time either.

Not looking for one but couldn't help noticing it.

Its not cheap mate. Its has a starting point of £33,500 to start bidding at. Its still got 8 days to go so anything can happen.

Enquired about it a while ago, will try and dig out the email. The seller says it has FSH however it doesnt seem to have receipts etc to back it up. Nice looking car though from the pics.

Here you go, it's an unknown exhaust fitted, and he has the service book fully stamped and up to date but there are no receipts/bills to confirm this.

Service history can be verified with a couple of phone calls, i assume?

[jazzybee]

Odd starting price given what it is up for on their website.

It says at the bottom of the advert that the listing is cancelled as a buyer has been found. Lovely looking car.

I think they may be the same dealer that had the Black Testarossa available, that was talked about on here.

It was on fleabay earlier this month at the same start price with no bids. Ran for several days (no bids)then had the listing cancelled bit added. This was only listed yesterday so I am assuming he has just re-run the original listing neglecting to remove that bit when the deal fell through?

Could have just listed it as a classified add/buy it now. Can't possibly think someone spending £30+k isn't going to do some homework first, surely?

Is that your offer on the red verdi car?

[Cactussed]

No, I bought the blue 355 from Verdi.
Went to see the QPG car. Looks lovely outside but as I said, nothing ot back up the service history, interior needed sorting. The seller got into trouble from Larini then tubi for advertising the car with one of their exhausts.

Like I said, nothing specific, I just didn't get a good feel about the vendor. Lovely looking car though.
