Yellow 2010 599 with HGTE on eBay. The car has a LC button. Was it possible to have Launch Control on a US spec 599?

I'll run a Carfax tomorrow at my office. Guessing the car has been imported. God is that thing fuggly (my opinion)
Definitely not a USA bound car .. look at temp scale on AC .. maybe Canada but not USA Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk
That is not to say that a USA dealer took a Canada based vehicle .. converted lenses or whatever else and sold it in USA .. I saw this done on a f430 and window sticker just looked like a us car.. only give away was AC and emissions label in engine carpartment .. Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk
Canadian Ferraris generally have the exact same specs and options as US Ferraris, at least lately, except for metric gauges.
Looking at VIN, the 8th digit reflects market made for. In this case the letter "T" refers to Middle East. http://www.red-headed.com/vin_market.html

This car may not be a US spec but it is not impossible to have LC in a US car. 5 years ago I almost purchased a US 2007 F430 from Boardwalk that had LC installed at the factory at the request of what was apparently a very good customer (at least that is what I was told by the dealer). I have no idea how frequently that was done but is an interesting data point.
did that car come from florida? I drove up to naples last year to look at one same color, same rims, and HGTE but it had previously been wrecked and dealer didn't tell me, he told after I drove 3 hours, he said he didn't know, it wasn't on carfax. Can't imagine too many yellow 599 HGTE same specs out there.

In the Middle East, it is obligatory that every car is equipped with the spare tire and fire extinguisher. That Air Bag warning light should raise a concern, no?
Already on offer on e-bay in march 2016 and again on may 2016 and at Barrett Jackson's auction in April 2017 #732 !
Put the wheels back to silver and the top to yellow. Some of the CF can be removed. I typically like and have owned yellow cars but on a 599 it kinda looks funky. Gaudy ? Cool idea right up till you actually see one. Still... A screaming deal if the car checks out. I'd buy it but not at this time.
Car is back for sale; http://www.autoholding.us/vehicle-details/2010-ferrari-599-handling-gte--hillside-nj-id-27983918
Car is back on the market in Florida. Has this car been bouncing around from dealer to dealer? Marshall Goldman recently had it for sale... Is it the lack of service history and being in the Middle East most of its early life making it a hard sale? https://www.ftlauderdalecollection.com/details-2010-ferrari-599_gtb_fiorano-hgte_coupe-used-zfffd60t2a0172495.html
Not only Middle East, according to my records, I got this VIN n° with THREE different Russian registrations !
How did find out car was wrecked? I can't tell from the pic. Car is back for sale..again. I'm looking at it.
