Why Buy My Ferrari? Buying a used car can be a risky thing, you don't want to get ripped off and you don't want to end up with a car that's got issues that the buyer hid. I'm a regular guy who's bought used cars too and I understand the concerns. So in my listing I'm trying to provide all the information and detailed photos that I as a car buyer would want to see to be able to make a confident purchase decision. I'm a big-time Ferrari/Sportscar enthusiast and the 360 Modena was my dream car when I was younger. I'm not a millionaire with a bunch of expensive cars. I make a good living but I had to save a long time to be able to finally afford this car. So it's not just one of a bunch of "toys" to me, it's a dream come true that I treasured and I treated it that way. Please read the extensive information and detailed photos of the car (taken on 02/23/14) below and feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions. Vehicle Condition I bought this car used in November of 2004 from Ferrari of Orange County with around 6K miles on it. I'm the second owner and it now has 20,328 miles on it. This car has never been smoked in, no food was ever eaten in it and has never spent a night outside the garage. It's also been immaculately maintained inside and out by my professional detailer at Lucci Elite Detail. I drive it just about every weekend to keep the fluids and everything else heat cycled. It's never been tracked and 90% of the miles have either been highway or scenic local roads. I've kept on top of all service and maintenance and it has had the cam variator recall performed. Since this car was driven less than 3K miles a year, an oil change / fluid service was performed every year rather than waiting for enough mileage. Belts were replaced every 3-5 years depending on my mechanic's inspection and recommendation. The vehicle just received a major service last year which included replacement of all fuids, spark plugs, belts and belt tensioners and pulleys. Because of the low miles the brakes and pads still have plenty of life left on them. I don't drive the car extremely hard and I've always shifted into neutral when idling at a light to prolong the life of the clutch. I had the clutch life checked a few years ago and it was at 72%. I just got new wheels and tires last year and they have less than 1,000 miles on them. I have kept all the maintenance paperwork as well as the spare set of keys and alarm fob (never used) together in a tupperware container. This car is ready for another 4-5 years of what should only be oil and fluid changes each year. Exterior The first thing everyone notices about this car is the wrap job. It's a full wrap including door jambs using 3M Dark Metallic Grey film, done by the experts at Protective Film Solutions. It turned out beautifully and I'm really happy with it, I get compliments on it all the time. I got my car wrapped less than 2 years ago because I wanted to try something new. There's nothing at all wrong with the factory paint. The original paint color was Argento Nurburgring (silver) and it was kept in pristine condition and the wrap actually helps to keep it that way by protecting it. If for some reason you wanted to remove the wrap, you'd have a sparkling silver Ferrari that looked brand new. To compliment the matte/stealth look I custom painted the 2 rear emblems a satin shadow chrome color. I also had a light tint film applied to the headlights and a medium tint applied to the sidemarkers and reflectors. But rest assured, the HID and signal lights still shine through absolutely fine and there is no visibility hazard whatsoever. Interior Details The interior is almost completely stock. The previous owner had a power line wired in just above the rear view mirror for a radar detector which I've never used, but it's there. The one change I made was a mild upgrade to the stock audio system. I replaced the stock speakers with Focal speakers and the headunit with a Pioneer unit that supported bluetooth audio. Sounds much better than stock and the convenience of bluetooth audio and phone calls is a nice one. I do still have the stock Becker headunit if you want it. This car does also come with the very sought after factory carbon fiber racing seats that save about 25lbs if I recall correctly. Be aware that these seats don't have any power adjusments, but if you were to swap back to the basic stock seats the wiring for it is already there, you just plug it in. There is one area that is less than perfect in the interior and that's the "sticky" buttons and door pulls. Early year examples of this car used a less durable rubberized coating on the interior window, radio and door switches. Over time they would get kind of soft and sticky and also peel. On this car it's pretty minor on the window switches and not an issue on the radio switches because I replaced the headunit. But the inside door handles are pretty scarred up (see detailed photos below). It's not something that bothered me enough to fix, but there are several places that offer refinishing services that can get it all looking better than new. Performance/Handling I find the performance of this car really good already and the feedback from the pedals, steering wheel and chassis are razor sharp. I've driven many sports cars and when you drive a Ferrari there's a sense of passion and connectedness to the car that I haven't felt anywhere else. So I didn't feel that there was much tinkering necessary but I did do a few tweaks. My favorite is the Tubi "sport" exhaust. The person I bought the exhaust from said it was a sport version that was slightly louder than the normal Tubi but I never bothered to verify. That's because I was absolutely blown away by the new sound of the car, it sounds incredible! I think the sound of this car is at least 50% of the enjoyment. I coupled the Tubi exhaust to Larini high flow catalytic converters, (which pass smog better than even the stock cats did so no worries there) and B&M drop-in air filters. The sound of the car now is hard to describe with words. At low RPMs between 2-3K there is an extremely deep and menacing growl. This changes to a sporty roar through the middle RPMs and when you hit 7-8K RPM it's the holy grail, it screams that signature Ferrari/F1 racing sound that just rips through the air. Handling wise the car has been lowered on H&R springs and the front fenders have been rolled for safe clearance. I was very impressed with the springs, the ride barely got any harsher than stock, it's perfectly fine for long drives (depending on the quality of road you're on of course). The wheels are custom made 19", staggered and concave Forgestar CF5Vs in textured gunmetal. The tires are Bridgestone Potenza S0-4 Pole Positions in 235/35/19 up front and 305/30/19 in the rear. The diameters have only a 1~2% deviation from stock so there's no issues with the speedometer reading or traction control kicking in when it shouldn't. The car was custom aligned right after it was lowered by West End Alignment the preeminent alignment house in Southern California. The car handled very well stock, but understeer was definitely noticeable. With the new tires/alignment the grip is on a different level, I haven't even gotten the tires to chirp once. The balance is much closer to neutral now and the front end bite into corners is probably the most improved aspect. Turn-in is super sharp and it just tracks through the corners so flat and stable, it's very confidence inspiring. Payment $2,000 deposit through PayPal is required within 48 hours of winning the auction or the vehicle will be relisted. Remaining payment must be made within 7 days of auction close. I will not release the vehicle until your payment clears my bank. If the vehicle needs to be transported, it is the buyer's responsibility to arrange and pay for it. Serious bidders only please. If you have any other questions about my car or want to see photos of some other areas, please feel free to "ask seller a question".

Ferrari CEO could retire Friday letting Marchionne step in
Tue, Apr 12 2016Rumors once again suggest that current Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa plans to retire from the role. Anonymous insiders tell Bloomberg that the announcement could come as soon as April 15, with an announcement at the company's upcoming investors meeting. Sergio Marchionne is the favorite to become the new CEO, the unnamed sources claim. Felisa would step down as CEO after Ferrari nominates its new board of directors, according to Bloomberg. He would likely retain a seat on the board and could still do some work at the company. Felisa joined the sports car maker in 1990 as director of product development. He replaced Jean Todt as CEO in 2008. Marchionne is already Ferrari's chairman, and taking on the CEO role in addition would give him greater control over the brand's future. Bloomberg's insiders note that Marchionne's takeover isn't final yet, and someone else could conceivably get the role. The sweater-wearing exec has a clear view for Ferrari's future, though. He plans to increase volume to around 10,000 vehicles a year, but he's staunchly against building an SUV or an EV. If he takes control, expect him to work out a plan to increase the Prancing Horse's share price. At its October IPO, the stock started at $52 a share; today it opened at $41.24. Rumors about this shift have been swirling for months. For example, reports from Italian media in June 2015 suggested Felisa would retire as CEO. Subsequent rumors claimed Marchionne was the frontrunner to take over the position. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Top Gear teases Porsche 918 vs McLaren P1 vs LaFerrari showdown
Mon, Jan 5 2015It's the comparison test we've been waiting over a year to come together: the hybrid hypercar showdown of the century between the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari. They've each got hybrid powertrains pairing eight or more cylinders with an electric motor to drive around 900 horsepower through seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions. They come from exotic automakers with rich racing pedigrees, and each costs around a million bucks. Leave it to the guys from Top Gear, then, to finally put it together. The story adorns the cover of this month's issue of Top Gear magazine, which arranged the showdown – not the television program that started it all. Fortunately, they didn't miss the opportunity to capture the action on video, which will be available to iPad subscribers – but whether you've got access or not, you can catch a short clip of the seven-figure hybrid hypercars right here.

Model waves checkered flag too soon at F1's Canadian Grand Prix
Mon, Jun 11 2018MONTREAL — Formula One said on Sunday it will review its procedures after the Canadian Grand Prix ended in confusion and embarrassment when a celebrity waved the checkered flag a lap too soon. The gaffe did not affect the outcome of the race, which was won by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, but the German said he was left double-checking his lap counter while checking in with his pit before carrying on to run the full 70 laps. "Fortunately we had radio, fortunately I had the lap count in the car, and the pitboard was accurate — but if you lose radio and maybe the pitboard is not there, then you back off," said Vettel after notching his 50th career win. "I was just worried, I told them also on the last lap, then people don't jump on the track, waving flags and celebrating, because we're still going at full pace." The official results were later determined based on the 68th lap to avoid any impact the early flag might have had. Formula One race director Charlie Whiting said the error was caused by simple miscommunication between the official starter and crew in the starter's tower, which resulted in model Winnie Harlow — a friend of Mercedes world champion Lewis Hamilton — waving the flag prematurely. "It was a miscommunication between the start platform and the guy they call the starter here," explained Whiting. "He thought it was the last lap and asked them at the top to confirm it, they confirmed it. "They thought he was making a statement when in fact he was asking a question. "He told the flag waver to wave it a lap early. It was as simple as that, it wasn't anything to do with the fact it was a celebrity flag waver. "The celebrity was not to blame." Celebrities are often given the honor of waving the checkered flag at motor races, which has occasionally resulted in unintended flubs. Brazilian soccer great Pele famously reacted too late when Ferrari's Michael Schumacher won at Sao Paulo's Interlagos circuit in 2002, brandishing the flag instead as the later finishers appeared. While the incident on Sunday produced shrugs and even a few chuckles, there were also very real safety concerns, as course workers often come out of their safety areas to stand alongside the track waving flags. "We need to review procedures and make sure we have a very simple procedure for every circuit," added Whiting. "We're dealing with different human beings, different countries, different languages and it's not always absolutely perfect.
