(not that I'm buying mind you)

Leave the price behind for a second I think as a keeper it could have some merit, my only worry would the eye-watering costs of some Ferrari parts!

As for the price you'd like to think its perhaps possible to barter down to 35k (though reading the advert he perhaps doesn't quite come accross as the type who loves a good haggle!) but even still it's really only 10k less than cars with half that mileage on

A few people are saying it's over-priced, well what would be the right price for this at that mileage?

I can't imagine a Ferrari dealer giving a lot of money trade either!

I would think about buying it but only at the right price, but not being down with Ferrari values i have no idea what that would be!

as said i bet it's true value is around £25k so if he were to get £30k it'd be happy days all round

the 550s for similar money on the PH website right now do all seem to be in worse shape, despite their lower mileages. Perhaps this isn't such a bad buy after all.

What makes you say that?

I think that's a large brush you're tarring everyone's cars with fozzy but I'll admit I've only looked at the Amari black one in the flesh.

So go on, who's going to send the seller a link to this thread

Hah, what's the Amari one like? I was just looking at the advert and from that, at least, it does seem to make a convincing argument for itself. Nero w/Nero is my pick for a 550...

Looked nice from the quick look over I gave it, I was there testing a 360 so i didn't exactly give it the full inspection.

I've got to say I think the 550 is one of the few ferrari's that look good in any colour even though tdf/tan would still be my personal favourite-on any Ferrari but especially one with a v12 up front

As the OP of this thread I'd just like to say a huge thank you for keeping us updated

I d also second the thoughts about perhaps making a front page article about the car & maybe moving the thread to the pistonheads fleet or something?

[LaurasOtherHalf]

I've said this before but this thread needs moving the the PH front page or something, I missed this last update!

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Phab, you know what you need now is some luggage made to match in that same tan leather, how cool would that look under the straps in the back?

[LaurasOtherHalf]

What's the plans with the euro road trip? We got as far as Monaco last summer so if there's anything I can help with just ask

Great to see an update as always

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Great to hear the car is still out there and finding some love, feels like an awfully long time ago since the OP.
