1997 Ferrari 456GT V12 6-speed manual
 

Very clean driver, five-owner car, mechanically flawless, extremely well maintained. I have owned this vehicle since November 2016 and have been driving it approximately 10000 miles per year. Light impact on driver door at some point during previous ownership, likely before 2004 – no mention in CarFax. Some repainted areas here and there as should be expected in any driver-quality vehicle.

Car needs absolutely nothing: all service is up-to-date with no deferred maintenance items. No effort has been spared to make this car mechanically as perfect as a 22 year-old vehicle can be. A detailed maintenance history folder is available and contains complete documentation starting in 2004.

Again, this vehicle has received in April 2019 a full maintenance service that includes four new Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires, fresh engine oil, oil filters, fresh transmission fluid, as well as new belts + tensioners.

All info is to be posted here, with no links....thanks

Sorry, honest mistake. I will make the necessary changes.

OP here.

I am potentially interested in a trade toward a 2005+ Aston Martin V12 (DB9 or Vantage V12), 2+2 (I need a back seat, however small they are in these cars), 6-speed manual (a must). OK with "higher mileage" (up to 50k), and even with a few repainted areas here and there (provided the work was done flawlessly). Open to a variety of colors.

Please PM if you want to discuss.
