You can get parts for the car 
But unless the service bulletins were done 
It’s not worth the effort in my humble opinion 
It’s your money 
Spend it as you see fit

I kind of understand what you're saying, but from my perspective, unless that ridiculous cost of body parts is baked into an outrageous cost of insurance, I'm never going to have to pay for routine maintenance on the hood. Mechanically though, I sure haven't forgotten the general gist of Ben Kao's costs of his earlier Ferrari 2+2 (was it a 400i?) repair, something crazy like $17k for cat back exhaust (Tubi)? As long as I could afford insurance, and as long as I think body parts would remain available (even at those prices), that's not the issue. What about cost of mechanical maintenance (and availability of parts)?

Buy the hood, get the rest of the car for $15k....


Go price a Mercedes V12 of the same era, there is a reason that these are all ten cents on the original dollar cars.

Like I said
This is a moving parts car for the 456 crowd
Some 456 owners need to get together and by it for parts

That's almost tempting at that price point. Besides the fact that it's automatic, besides the fact that it isn't pristine, besides the one stupid issue they have that I know about with windows, what are the downsides/risks? First thing is "some recent service," what does that mean? In other words, when was the last "major service" and when is it due next? What is the extent of a normal "major service" on a 456, and can an owner do it? I haven't done it in a while but I can do a major service (cam belts, tensioners, valve adjust, etc) on my 308 in a weekend, but my impression is that the newer and more complex the car is the less owner-serviceable it is, and I assume that's the case here.
