It's a 2000.
I've had it for 7 years.
18K miles when I bought it and it just hit
38K.
My mechanic has replaced master cylinders on three
different 550s

Another minor 550 issue is the master brake
cylinder ($475). The seals will eventually start breaking
down
and leaking internally, due to the extreme heat
coming up from the left side header.
The factory put a heat shield
around part of the brake booster unit, but not the master
cylinder, which is hanging out in the open.
Symptoms are soft brake pedal/pumping needed to bring it
up.
Bleeding the system doesn't help.
Ask me how I know...

That's what guys don't get they think because they are about to
drop 6 figures they can't bargain like its some kind of in spoken rule
!
If someone is selling they want out for what ever
reason
Seize on that and make it work for you knowing that you can
always walk away
I am laughing right now at the guys trying to sell 575
Superamericas for $250k
And these are the idiots who bought the car way over sticker
thinking they were going to make a killing
The worst is the poor slobs who bought the 355 spyders, OMG did
they get soaked
Those cars aren't even good cabs in 3rd world countries !
The recent Car and Driver did a thing on the issues with 355 that
everyone should read
The deal right now is a late model 550 with a stick
Pay no more than $50k for one
It's a true bargain and a 12 cylinder car not a whiny 8 !
In victory you deserve Champagne
In defeat you need it!
Scars are Tattoos with better stories !
If you follow all the rules
You miss all the fun!

Amazing isn’t it,

Well like my old pal
Tibor used to say – “Always ask – if you don’t, you end up with the
same answer as if they said ‘no’”

My my Rob.
Well – yes, I really did consider the Fiat-Dino. 1980.
When the 246 GTS’ and B’s went out of sight at $20,000 1980 US$ I
lowered my sights to the Fiat-Dino to get the “Ferrari
sound.” I poked about, never seriously, and ended up
considering the Fiat-Dino a bit bulbous.
I later completely
dropped the idea pf the Fiat Dino altogether. After that
brief episode I considered that my ‘Ferrari” train had left the
station and I’d never be able to get one. With the early
80’s era came the watch word – “you could never pay too much for a
Ferrari – you just bought it too soon.”
And speaking of
soon - not too soon after that, less than a decade, the goddess
Nemesis followed her brother Hubris and Ferrari’s were once again
within reach – but woe unto those who didn’t do their homework for
many new owners found their cars suffered the dreaded disease of
the wallet – PO deferred maintenance.
Alas.
It was at this
point I jumped in – for a fair price for what we got – and a 1/3
less than the asking price - - viva being a concours judge and the
hungry dealer who wanted to move this attractive nuisance (you
know, all the lot boys and techs wanted to keep the oil circulated
and the battery up) off his lot.
So in 1995, 2,000
miles from home, I was told by the king car boss after keeping my
personal “Clyde” price unbudgeable – “well, it looks like you
bought yourself a Ferrari.” And that was how we came to own
a 1978 GTS. A shade or two off of correct Rossa Corsa and
detectable (get a paint gauge) filler in the door bottoms – but
we’re making a comeback after a year plus. See you at
Colorado Blvd the end of this month. Fingers crossed of
course.
