    For sale in Switzerland there's now a yellow 2003 F575M, with black leather interior with lovely yellow piping. It's a very unique car, never seen another like it. It has 30.000 Kms and it costs the equivalent of 84000 Euro. I'm tempted to go and have a closer look, but I'm afraid I may end up buying it (it's the cheapest F575 in Europe with such low mileage).

    Any opinions? Colour combination, re-sellability, what do you think?

    If it's the one at Leirer then I think I saw it yesterday.
    550 and 575 look great in yellow

    No, this one is in Baar. I think it's near Luzern. Must find out why it's so cheap. Maybe it's because people don't like yellow on these cars...

    The only problem is that it's not a Fiorano, that will cost an extra 4000 Sfr. to add later.

    Cosa ne pensi del giallo sulla 575? A me piace un casino

    Come forse ti ho già detto, non sono un fan del rosso... La 575 Gialla è assolutamente fantastica, seconda forse solo al nero. Mi pare invece strano che il Fiorano Pack costi solo 4000 franchi. Sei sicuro?
    Un saluto
    Eugenio

    I'll call these guys and find out more about it. Patrick, it seems that Eugenio likes yellow on these cars... and I like it too. You're outruled by the majority! :D

    Anyway, I checked with Ferrari dealers in Switzerland: adding the Fiorano package (harder shock absorbers, stiffer anti-roll bars, different programming of the steering and suspension control ECUs) only costs about 4000-4500 Sfr. If you add the upgraded brakes the price then increases to about 8000 Sfr, which can climb to an astronomical 20000 Sfr if you specify the carbon-ceramic HGTC brakes (which only come with 19'' wheels and even harder suspension settings). Since I don't do track days, the stock brakes for me are good enough, all I need is a stiffer, lower car to enjoy the twisty roads.

    I'll call this guy tomorrow. I'm curious about this car, why it's so cheap and all. There's also a Gallardo at the same price in Switzerland... now that's a dilemma
