You guys are in for a laugh on this. A friend (and client) was told many times over not to buy an inexpensive Ferrari, and stay away from the cars on ebay. Most of the cars have been butchered, tracked hard on road rallies & courses, worn out, owner lost complete interest, broken, and many times wrecked pieces of shit. Anyway, the car he purchased was a real bargain. (Like buying a Patek Philippe at a pawn shop) The car was a complete misrepresentation and the owner has a broken heart. The car was shipped to Ferrari of Washington, DC, and the specialists went to work...then it all stopped. The car was a well disguised Pontiac Fiero kit car project sold as a genuine Ferrari. The old adage of "buy low & sell high" doesn't work with the DeLorean. The car must have a genuine service history. If an owner wanted to sell, ask your self why do they want to sell? Don't buy a $10.00 horse and expect to win the Derby. With Best Regards, Michael
