Thx Gang -
   There is absolutely nothing in this world as knowledgable as a bunch of 
Ferrari owners when it comes to deciding if & when a used Ferrari is priced 
at a reasonable level.!  Thanks to all who responded.  BTW, I'm not in the 
market.  I'd dearly love a TR or a 550 or 360 for that matter but at the 
moment things are too tight.

   This TR just happened to catch my eye and I thought I'd mention it 
because it looked like a decent deal - all depending on the maintanence 
history of course.

   It all comes down to what work is needed, what work has been left undone 
and what was done wrong.  I suspect getting an honest answer to those 
questions might be the hard part..

   Someone mentioned the inventory at GullwingMotorCars - they certainly 
have a huge range of cars!  I only look at the sports cars but they seem to 
have everything from AH 3000 & XKE basket cases (literally in baskets!) all 
the way to very nice 275GTBs for 7 figures.

   Don't know what kind of info comes with the cars they sell - I guess it 
all matters what kind of previous/current owner the car comes from.- or is 
on contingency from.

   Anyway - thanks for the info - I really found the omparision of the TR 
and 550.  The 550 has always been one of my most desirable Ferrari's.  IMO, 
it looks to have a direct lineage back to the 365 Daytona.  I think its the 
car Ferrari should have built following the Daytona but of course, the 
technology wasn't there at that time.

   Don't know if I would think of the 550 and TR as comparable though. 
They seem to be very different with different purposes.  The 550 seems to be 
a high performance GT road eater while the TR is more of a "take no enemies" 
sports car - although a rather large one.  That's not a very good 
explanation but maybe some of you know what I'm trying to say?  They seem to 
be apples and oranges...

   Thanks again -
LarryT
