Default Any info on this car?

Hey there

My dad has been looking at this car...http://www.targetweb.nl/shop/article.asp?article=33019

...but I think it is too cheap to be realistic. So, does anyone know anything about the car or the seller (Target Car BV)? It is located in Holland, and they sell many different kinds of cars, not just Porsche and Ferrari. The fact that they sell so many different kinds of cars also worries me a little bit.

That price is in euros, so the car is not cheap.

Compared to the prices on these cars in Europe, it is cheap. And I am affraid that my dad just want to buy the car because it is cheap.

Does it have full service history? Any major servicing done? What year is it? Get it PPI'd. If you're serious in buying, take a look and check out the history and inspection report. If it is truly cheap for that market, remember....you either pay upfront for a good car, or you pay later to make it a good car.

The car has full service history, no major servicing done as far as I can see and it is from 2004.

Head on over to www.ferrarichat.com and ask over there....lots of info about the F-cars. Major servicing isn't cheap on these vehicles.

Is this car close to your location? The $89500.00 Euro comes out to about $114,000.00 - $115,000.00 US dollars. That would appear to be a pretty decent deal on it, unless there are some hidden fees or extra cost items that are not being posted.

Can I borrow your calculator for a while?

Paying in Euros is less painful if you get paid in Euros...
Vifa, where are you located?

I am located in Denmark. My dad has arranged something with a friend so we can fly instead of drive from Denmark to Holland which would had taken too long time. Flying from Denmark to Holland will then only take approximately 1 hour.

It is a car my dad wants to buy, and I have promised him to go along and inspect the car with him. But I am just a little bit skeptical about the price (too low if you ask me, and also too low compared to similar cars for sale in Europe), and maybe also the dealer - to be honest, I have a bad feeling about this.

Not sure how you got your figures, but at today's rate $89,500.00 EUR is equivelant to 113,780.81 USD.

$113kUS for an 04 Spyder is quite a deal...but it all depends on options, condition, service etc.

Let me be blunt-take this crap elsewhere. At no point have I ever seen this forum referred to as one in which to post questions about Ferraris. Go ahead and make a smart comment in return, and see how long you're here.
