Now why would anyone consider buying from MS with all this shit going on?

Good question, but assuming it just popped off now with Doug Legrand's story, we will have to wait and see.
 

Am I missing something here?
No wonder its so easy to rip off Ferrari buyers
You smart  guys make tons money somewhere else an forget how to spend it smart
I can see why the dealers an brokers for the most aprt love this crowd

You guys are easy!

 
You talk a big game for someone who has bought 2-3 Ferraris in 30 years. :-)

Nothing against the 308/328 and 512 TR because I love them dearly, but neither car is in the same league price *differential* wise as a 250 or 275. Can you honestly nail down any of those high priced 250-275 cars to a 5-20k bracket?? Are there that many Cavallino/FML ads that can generate a super solid number? (not a rhetorical question).

I typically see 50-100k price differentials minimum for these cars.........288 GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo included on that list too.

To me this is the reason people seek the brokers. I've looked at Sheehan's site over the years mostly for the pictures, and I rarely see any of the sub 100-150k Ferraris on his site for sale.

If there was a $40k price flux for 348s I'm sure Sheehan would be there too, and probably the potential buyers as well.

I think Sheehan might now be suspect, but I wouldn't say all brokers are bad. Is Joe Sackey a broker? He seems like someone who could be useful for a 288, F40, Countach or Miura purchase being that he has owned a few and seems to love these cars.

FG

BTW Clyde, you can make the same point by swapping the "you" for "us/we", and it delivers 100% the message with none of the "zing". :-)
