Default My pedigree is up for sale.

Well guys, I'm sad to say to that I'm parting with my pride and joy. The car is listed in the classified section and I thought I'd make you all aware of it. Below is a copy of the ad along with some picts. Thanks, Nick.

Pedigree car with complete, 2-owner history located in Seattle, Washington. Pristine, meticulously cared for and maintained, always garaged, never damaged, original flawless paint, perfect turbo twists with zero curb rash. From new until December of 2005, stored and maintained by Ferrari of Seattle as part of personal customer’s collection. Complete aluminum package includes turbo door sills, aluminum handbrake, shifter, gauge rings and pedals. Bilstein PSS9’s, corner balanced and set slightly below ROW height. Aluminum exhaust tips, Xenon headlamps, 3M clear bra, 6-disc CD changer and sunroof. Regardless of low annual mileage, vital fluids along with Mobil 1 with Amsoil multi-function wear protection changed every 12 months. The interior is flawless and is in showroom condition. Less than 1,000 miles on newer set of Michelin PS2’s. One of the nicest 993 Turbo’s in the country. New clutch accumulator changed out about a year and half ago. Other than the Bilsteins, clear bra and tips, the car is all original and unmolested. No stories. $87,500.

Thanks for the comments, guys. This has been an extremely difficult decision for me. These really are specail cars and I know that one day I may come to regret selling it, this one in particular.

VERY tough market these days, even for cars with little mileage. I have been helping a number of guys try to sell their cars, and there are few buyers. What you find are buyers that want it for real cheap.. Good luck though with the sale....

Just like mine, black-on-black, benzil rings and mats included. After buying a 996 Ruf R turbo, I put mine up for sale but after a week, and cognizant of the bad economy, I withdrew the ad, cancelled the insurance and put it in the garage where I buffed it all winter. Now, I'm happy I didn't sell and next week am having PSS10 and a custom short shift installed. It's just too classic, wildly go-kartish, and lovely to say goodby. I can hear yours saying right now "please, please don't sell me to some stranger!"

I am still paying for mine..... Gee I wish I had some more coin hanging around. I could really pamper a car like yours. I'd give it some more thought and I do hope you can keep it.

Thanks again guys for all the comments. It's been a tough decision. Who knows, maybe it "just won't sell" in this current economy and I'll have no choice but to keep it.
