The owners probably spend more time drooling at it than sitting in the driver's seat. Not that it isn't drool worthy...
A 430 Scuderia probably ranks as my Dream car. Funny how many people stopped me in my car to tell me mine was their dream car.
btw, a 360 owner on another Porsche forum does his own work and couldn't believe how poorly assembled the inner workings of the car were. He said he tossed a bucket full of random fasteners and things were just slapped together.
Beautiful on the outside but still a long way to go before being as tidy as a German vroom vroom party startar.

Low mileage Ferrari cars held their resale numbers well....until now. They were typically resold to the dealership before the 7.5K maintenance which is expensive. The dealer would re-shoe, perform the maintenance, re-pad, do warranty work, possibly a clutch....make the car mechanically as new, then resell it. The previous owner would be buying a new one and taking as little of a hit as possible. Them days are gone.
I'm looking for a 430 Scud myself.
Or will be if the wifey goes Boxster.:dance:
I agree with your mechanic friend, btw. You ought to see inside the asbestos of a 430 manifold/exhaust header set. Which are going to burn up eventually. They are truly garbage.
