Equipment
6-speed, Potenza tires, Speedline wheels, power windows, air conditioning.
Condition
Sold new in Houston. Belt serviced seven months ago, 9,800 miles from new. Several small cracks in the front lip and a small chip in the nose. Headlight gaskets are a little wavy. Very good interior that looks and smells new. Babied like a Ferrari for the most part. The loud color is great, but the open-gate manual is what makes this a noteworthy car.
Market commentary
Auctions America sold a similar 6-speed 550 Maranello last week in Ft. Lauderdale for a hammer bid of $160,000. Although it had roughly 6,000 more miles and was red the reported high bid here for this yellow example was at a level where it would have made sense for the consignor to take off the reserve and hope it generated some excitement. This is a decellerating market and any reasonable money is turned down at the seller's peril.
