Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 1985 Mondial

[clyde romero (clyderomero]

 Wow thanks for listening so long.

Mondials have a sorted history at best. The worst of problems is electrical.
The fuse box was placed under the windshield which leaked and we could go on
for ever. And the fuse box design it self lent itself for overheating and
produced numerous problems of itself.
If what you posted is true about the car at best it is worth $5k and here is
why.
Mondial parts are hard to find and cost a bundle.  And if the engine cant
turn over there is no telling why. It could be the ECU, electricl fuel pump
the list  can be as long as the space shuttle. 
If your fiqure is $8k and you get it for $5k you have $3k to burn on it and
get it to run.

My thoughts

Hi,

Been reading the list for 8+ years but have never posted.  I went to look at
a 1985 Mondial Cab today that was advertised as not running.  The body was
ok, some weird small dents on the drivers side by where the top mounts and
some rust spots starting to show.  The paint on the car was fair to poor,
the top could have been better, the leather was cracking, the center console
was lifting by the switches.  The car did turn over but it did not fire.
Could not smell any gas.  The seller has changed plugs, fuel filter, fuel
pump (said he spent $1300 on parts) but could not get it started.  It has
been sitting for at least this summer.  The seller stated that the car ran
fine last year until it was parked and after winter (stored outside but
covered) it would start then quit.  The car is in Mass and has not had an
inspection since 2003.  Carfax shows no accidents but does show evidence of
mileage rollback.  It went from 67,000 in 1997 to 36,000 in 1999 when sold
at auction.  Currently is says 47,000.  So with all the red flags waving and
since it wont start I cant get it to a ghetto,  what do you think this car
is worth?  He is asking 15k  I was thinking 8k at the most.  I wanted to get
a project car (looking for a 308/328) but this one seems to need more work
then I want to throw in to it (plus money). 

thanks

rich
