Visions of Ferris Buhlers Day off............................ with the Ferrari.
I went and looked at the red roadster today. Not bad ..........actually pretty good. However, it has the valve cover leaks which would need to be repaired and while the ragtop looks good, the window had been repaired and not to my liking (at least I'll use that as a significant negotiation play on price). It also has the original battery. A little refurbishing here and there and it would be a nice car. New Michellin tires, interior in good shape, lights had a little hazing but easy enough, exhaust tips need some serious polishing..........and a few Doctor color chips should make her look damn good. I'm not going to act on this unless they fix the roof to my likely (or I can get it replaced under the Chrysler recall) or unless they bring the price down about 1500 to 2000 below where they are now. We'll see......... and the longer this goes, the more likely it is I'll go a different direction. I really should get something more practical...............
