New 550 Owner!

I'd like you guys to congratulate my dad on getting a 550 Maranello!

We wrapped up last night at the dealer and I was too tired to post (Autosport USA, Pompano Beach Fla). My dad was looking at 575M's for the last few months but ultimately decided that a classic Ferrari gate was more satisfying-- especially on a road car. The car is truly a superlative as far as 550's go. Here are the details.

2001, 4k miles, Rossa Corsa, Tan Daytona seats w/ red stitching and piping, Shields, red calipers, modular wheels. Cosmetically and mechanically the car absolute perfection.


I'd also highly recommend Dave and Naldo at Autosport USA in Pompano Beach Florida. They were extremely professional and accomodating.


Now the big question-- do we leave it here in Florida for Cavallino than send it up to Philadelphia, or send it up next week?! I think the former .


Thanks guys!



-Joe


BTW, I'll post some pictures when the car gets delivered.

Thanks everybody! I honestly can't wait. Obviously there is no warranty... it's a Ferrari. The money is being wired on Wed and the car will be sent up on the next possible truck. When it comes, believe me, there will be pictures !

Just wait till you see the garage set-up, it's going to be TIGHT (literally).


Jon-- watch out on rt100!

I'm now we'll have to figure out which is faster... 996tt cab or 550 Maranello .
