I need to see if anyone near Bradenton Fl can check on a Ferrari Mondial 8 I am looking to buy. Thanks Andy

I know someone in that area; I'll ask my mother if she'd like to look at it.

Seriously, if I head that way in the next few weeks I'll be in touch.

I tried drag racing, but kept blowing the apex for turn two...

Don't do it Andy.......get the 308 GT4 instead!

GT4's seem to be really climbing in value lately... or maybe good ones are getting harder to find? They are now nearly at GTB prices (which seem to be a bit soft).

Owning a carbed GTB myself, I'd personally prefer either of them over a Mondial. I think I might spring for a full PPI if buying a Mondial...

The only thing, the sooner Andy buys a Ferrari, the sooner I have to buy his car!

I'm headed to Ellenton/Bradenton/Tampa/Orlando this weekend. Still need a set of eyes to look at the Ferrari, Andy?

David will eventually buy my car, I have faith in him. I talked myself out of the Mondial. I would sort of agree with the values piece. They are if not going up at least stable with a good one with few if any needs costing around $27000. They are not likely to go for more than that for awhile. I have owned the GT4's and the Mondial's and like both. The real issue with them is that the other 308 cars both the GTB and GTS will always outpace the 2+2's which is a Ferrari norm. With Ferrari, the iconic and therefore most valuable models only have 2 seats, or in one case 3 seats.

Am I that predictable?

No it is just a nice example and the price is right and you want one.
