If you have deep enough pockets to buy a Daytona. You can do your own home work and get the car you want without some hack who most likely doesn't know sheep shit from parched coffee about Ferraris other than you can afford one Talk to owner operators.

A fool and his money...ect. Having spent the better part of a year trying to find a nice Daytona to purchase, I will say that getting away from the brokers is a very difficult proposition. A modern car is one thing, but once one is talking about a vintage Ferrari, there are a small enough number of them offered for sale at any given moment that the brokers inevitably get involved in any given transaction attempt. Even if they don't end-up brokering a particular sale, their assertions about what *they* could move a car for, will get to the ears of every seller, and it becomes hard to purchase anything for less than what a broker says they can move a car for; i.e., they are in a position to modulate the price of all cars, not just the ones that they are personally trying to move. This is particularly problematic for cars that have some issues, because the brokers are in a position to over-sell such cars and get more for them than an informed person would be willing to offer. Or alternately, they can put on their "dealer hats" purchase a car sans sales tax (close to a 10% boost in buying power, in some cases), do some cosmetic work, and then move the car at a modest profit. They are just trying to run their businesses, of course, so "all's fair," but it does lead to this strange situation where you almost have to pay *more* if you want to avoid using a broker... :) -- Alex ('84 Nero Metallic) _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe or modify your subscription options, please visit: http://lists.ferrarilist.com/mailman/options/ferrari/clyderomerof4%40bellsouth.net Sponsored by BooyahMedia.com and F1 Headlines http://www.F1Headlines.com/
