LHD 550 advice request
Discussion
I've spotted a LHD 550 for equivalent of 60,000ukp.
Its done 17,500Km, was registered Jun 1997, and is for
sale at a local non ferrari dealership so it must have
been a trade in.
Has anyone here any advice on european prices for
these cars as this seems good to me, I believe a
new one was about 112,000ukp when I went to the dealer
here last year. I haven't done much in the way of
research on this car yet but have always seen the 550
as an ultimate fast road sports car.
Anyone any ideas of the sort of things I should look
out for on the car. What kind of trouble can be
expected from a 5 year old car.
what sort of regular running costs would I be looking
at, ie. service intervals and prices ? I suspect
insurance and tyres would be similar to my current
tuscan S.
Is non ferrari servicing in-advisable? I would
be hoping to keep the car long term unless I can't
afford the up keep?
Its unlikely I would drive it daily but when I do it
would be given a hard time, would it put up with this?
cheers

cheers for the link, bloody hell the parts
are expensive. 60k engine christ.
A good warranty is definitly an absolute must.
Definitly makes it sound like something fun
to have for a while but not to keep hold of.
the car is at a mercedes dealership.
serious research required me thinks,
certainly not buying one of these on a
emotional whim.
