    Either that or tracked at one of the track rentals like Exotic Racing or Speed Vegas. I bet the Rich Kansky who is the service manager Towbin knows this car.

    There is no such thing as a "cheap Ferrari".

    High miles, tracked excessively, a lot of damage, accident, bad car fax...…..
    Or any combination, or all of the above :D
    It is impossible to get one in good condition with under 20,000 miles for that price. There is a reason it is "cheap". The last thing you want is a "cheap" Ferrari, trust me. As others have said, there is no such thing. It's more like "pay now, or pay later".

    The VIN is ZFF68NHAXD0192712. The owner and the car is in Sweden. This is our last conversation.
    The price is US$ 110,000, I attached the photos. VIN no. ZFF68NHAXD0192712.
    There is no transportation fees or any hidden charges.
    If you agree, I'm going to start the transaction, I'm going to pay shipping fees, and I will sign the purchase contract.
    You will be notified by the transport company with information about transport and I will send you a copy of purchase agreement, inspection report and my passport.
    Within 20 days you'll receive the vehicle, including title, owner manual and keys.
    You'll be notified by the transport company the day when they will deliver the vehicle and you can contact your dealer/mechanic to schedule the inspection date.
    After you inspect the vehicle, if you are satisfied, you will confirm the payment to the transport company.

    If you decide against the purchase based on your request the transport company will transport the vehicle back to me and you'll not be charged for anything but everything's gonna be fine.
    If you agree please send me your Name, phone number, address and I call you once I get the info.

    This is a scam. The seller does not own this car. The scam involves you sending the funds, then he will ship the non existent vehicle to your destination. He offers a full refund if you are not satisfied with a car that you will never see. He will be nowhere to be found.

    correct, it is too cheap to be true. I always wonder who gets tricked by these scams, obviously they work sometimes, since people still try to pull it off.

    **

    If you click that link he provided, and scroll to the bottom, you see two of his most happy clients. I think they would probably disagree with me.

    John is mute, but in sign language he said "I got my Pista for $150,000, thanks Aprom Construction!"

    If you can believe it, he's still trying to chase it down. Rusty, please stop, it's obviously fake. Aprom constructions is a false company. Just click the link and you can tell in a few minutes - try clicking and looking at any of their supposed projects or downloads.

    APROM in Swedish is "FAKE NEWS" or the Nigerian prince did move to Uppsala
    if its too good to be true - it generally is

    now there is a real car in San Diego a 2013 458 Corso Rosso/tan but it has 70K miles (yes 70K), front end damage repair and a salvage title.
    Definitely a track/rental vehicle.....
