    That car is complete USA model.

    But,
    it Needs everything!,,,,, 60,000 major, engine out, tunnel hoses, fuse box, , , , , ,etc.

    $ 10,000.00 minimum for maintenance.

    thus, you end up with a $ 28,000 car that you paid $ 30,000 for.

    What's with the gear shift? Why would someone replace the Ferrari shifter with that?

    It's either the deal of the century or a nightmare of a scam!

    Used exotics coming out of Florida always scare me --- far too many true horror stories from folks getting burned...

    I was under the impression that it was the Mondial T that needed an "engine out" major, NOT the 3.2

    Cheers

    Is there anything missing from that carfax?
    If that car has been in FL anytime since 1999 (as the plates indicate), apparently it hasn't been inspected since then. This car might not even exist anymore.

    Actually, the last entry was in 2000. If you're seriously interested in the car I'm only about an half hour away from it. ;)

    09/11/2000 Florida
    Motor Vehicle Dept.
    Indialantic, FL
    Title #0063767475 Title issued or updated
    Loan or lien reported
    Exempt from odometer reporting

    "The last record reported to CARFAX is from September 2000. While there haven't been any DMV-reported problems, check with the seller to see if they have any service and repair records before you buy."

    True about the last entry, but the car has not been inspected in FL since 1999. That's a red flag for a car with FL plates since FL require inspections every 1-2 years.

    Thanks for the offer to check out the car. I'll keep trying to contact the owner and let you know.

    I can't speak for every county but I've been in FL for 20 years (this time) and an inspection has never been required for any vehicle that I've bought or sold. Except: State Farm did a walk around of two that I brought in from out of state.

    There were 3 or 4 counties that did emissions testing every year, but they did away with that around that around the 2000 timeframe. No other DMV required inspections in Florida.

    I'd say the car is worth a look, I just wouldn't go in expecting very much.

    Max,

    Sure, , you don't ahve to take the engine out of a Mondi 3.2 for a major. But, the engine is so easy to remove, you would be foolish not to pull it.
    and it makes it easier to get to the 20 year old hoses....?

    Q: i ran an autocheck on the car and it showed over 140k miles. can you explain this? May-31-08
    A: I bought the car 8 years ago with 44,815 miles. It now has just over 60,000 miles. I cannot explain what happened prior to my ownership, but I find it difficult to believe that this car has over 160,000 miles on it. Assuming the 44,815 that was on the car when I bought it plus the 15,000 I put on it in 8 years would be over 160,000. I think a more likely explanation is that when I bought it and the mileage was recorded someone made a typo and entered 144,815 instead of 44,815.
    Q: service records? what was performed at recent service? receipt? paint scale 1-10? receipt for paint? original sales papers? thanks May-30-08
    A: This '87 Mondial has been very dependable and is priced to sell: Had a major engine service overhall (all engine belts & pulleys replaced approx. 15k mi ago, recent maintenance was replaced fuel pump tropical pan, fuel feed hose, fuel pump assy., hose to accumilator. Replaced half shafts & boots repacked CV joints, replaced oil & filter, fuel filter, clutch slave cylinder & clutch hose. Paint is 8.5/10. Don't have the orig manuals.Don't know if interior has been redyed, had some minor dings & rust prior to repainting. There is no unusal odors.

    This may be a good deal in the mid-18's. The mileage question is a bit scary.
