I'm the opposite, when I was young and poor I bought expensive JDM parts and high end audio. Now I'm older with more money I'm frugal on mods

That looks so sick. Probably too late but theoretically what are the chances of you just getting it done without asking/telling and her not noticing. Would have been easiest if done day 1 of ownership heh.

id get one (or kept my GT) if i had the garage space for it. Both the QP and the GT were designed, built, and engineered under ferrari ownership. Not some BS fiat/chysler bastardization.

Both have ferrari hand built NA v8's
Both styled by pininfarina

Yes maintenance is crazy but honestly they are pretty reliable for an exotic car. Get the ZF tranny and you'll be okay. If i were to do it all over again i would not have dealer serviced my GT. I would have just gone to a good reputable shop and would have saved thousands probably. Ultimately having it dealer serviced did not really add too too much to the resale. 1 owner, no accidents, and dealer serviced === 50k canadian on a car that cost me 140k in 2011 (i wanna die)

Would fail out of province inspection with the ripped top, unless you get your "buddy guys shop" to do it

Not to mention whatever other issues they may find, I avoid out of province cars completely, unless its a newer car in excellent condition

There's a reason why people sell cars without doing an oop first...

None of them are ever because the car will "easily pass first time"

9/10 times private sale with outstanding OOP is a car that has failed it before.

Proceed with caution. (Or just take the provincial inspection form with you and DIY it as you look at the car)

Car does not run, issue is super minor, just needs a new battery - No time to fix
Car not running, only issue is a fuse, $.50 fix - I don't have time
Only needs a tune - I don't have time to fix

Heard this one since Tyrannosaurus Rex roamed the earth.

Lol reminds me of a POS Chrysler LHS a friend bought from his neighbours “gardener”

The guy said all it needed was a new fuel cap as there was air getting into the fuel system. Thousands of dollars and hours later my buddy bought a second LHS that eventually went from the parts car to the main car and the gardeners car became a parts car to scrape together a working vehicle lol

Imagine buying a car that needs a fuel cap, and not showing up with said fuel cap to make sure it drives away.

Not fantastic price given the mileage but unicorn as well as 'meticulously cared for'. Could possibly snag a deal if you're an enthusiast looking for something different.

Facts. E46 M3 was my high school dream car. Drooled over the IS350 in university. Got both now in my mid-30s and they are relatively cheap.

I remember rich kids drove E90, A4, C class, and IS to university. I would struggle up the hill to SFU with my 130hp Corolla.

The parts alone are worth more than they are asking.
The Quaife alone.
Momo ITR wheel is up there in price.

Def good buy if it is legit.
