Steven Kessler has been a Ferrari dealer both officially and unofficially for, it seems like, forever. Have I ever bought a car from him? No. But it's not like he's not experienced. Ever see "Scent Of A Woman"? The Ferrari scene was filmed at Kessler's Manhattan dealership, which I think, was the old Chinetti place, right?
I am just a non-Ferrari owning newbie and don't have any comment on this dealer but just had to say the black inserts on the Daytona seats look crazy good with that black car. I am not a fan of black cars at all but this combination could get me to change my mind. Good luck. [edit] Just noticed that he has two 2004 360 Spiders with about 20k miles so now I don't know if you are looking at the black or red one.
I bought my 360 from Kessler about 5 years ago. The car was represented as a one owner. When all the documents were forwarded to me it was clear this was not true. I bought the car anyway as it went through a pre-purchase inspection at the local Ferrari dealer and came out with a few issues but generally OK. Buyer beware when dealing with these people.
A little late with the feedback, but stay far away.......at the very least get a PPI. Mine cost me $500, but at least I didn't end up buying the BS and overpaying for a car based on misrepresentation. Car was advertised as new clutch, $10,000 recent service. Completely untrue..........after I called him out, he admitted......well clutch is 60%, which is inaccurate and basically 85% which is like new. Continued to advertise car as such until he sold it.
