1997 Ferrari 456 GTA Dark, dark green with tan interior. 16k miles on super strong v12. This car is so fast and nice looking. Great driver. I need the cash so call it the xtmas special! Needs some minor non-mechanical work (as all ferrari's do). Call and I will explain the situation but do not waste my time and expect to take a test drive unless you have the money. Thanks.

This is a more recent "revised" ad:
1997 Ferrari 456 GTA with 16,300 original miles. Strong engine and transmission. New tires. Beautiful car and fun to drive.
The car does need some work none of which is mechanical. Some of the interior needs a little work and there is a scratch on the front spoiler. These cars always need a little work anyway.
It is a salvage title. It hit a curb several years ago which tore off the front wheel and did some suspension damage. It did not hit any other cars or do any body damage. Everything was repaired. This car is for someone who wants a driver and is not a collector. It is a lot of bang for the buck. Call me for the full story and more information. Chris (925) 324-4226

I think that when you tear off a wheel you do more than "some" suspension damage. I would be very careful with a very thorough PPI before I would touch such a "bargain". Proceed with haste and repent at leisure!!

"..to get the full story.." is right. The most telling words in the ad are "salvage title", which in California means the vehicle suffered so much damage (collision. flood, vandalism, strip-out), that the cost to repair it was more than the car's fair market value if repaired. And in the case of a 456, that would seem to equate to an awful lot of damage. This is a real big "buyer beware" scenario - not that anyone here would be considering it.

David hit it right on. If you see "salvage" on a California title, run away.
I saw a newer salvage title Porsche where the front half of one was welded up to the back half of another. Very classy indeed, when you open up the doors and see the crude mess where nothing fits correctly.
