My Porsche is gone :(
Hi all:
I don't know why but I sold the 911. After many years of faithful service and almost 100,000 miles on the odometer she is gone. It was a great car....the engine never blew up, the RMS never leaked, she drove like new...never any rattles, never left me stranded--ok it left me stranded once but that was it. She is missed already....and I actually almost canceled the deal when I met the buyer. When I was taking him for a test drive and explaining to him how sweet those Fabspeed by-pass pipes sounded, or how fun it is to take it to redline, or....he cut me off he wasn't interested in any of that...he just wanted to know the gas mileage and if regular gas was ok to use?! I just hope he doesn't take it to Jiffy Lube to get an oil change...oh and before he drove off he wanted to know how to put up the spoiler because it looks "cooler."
Well, life goes on and I do have a question. I am getting a 1997 Ferrari F355. It is in North Carolina and I was wondering if any of you guys used Express Auto Transport. They quoted me a price of $1340 for door to door service on an enclosed trailer. Sounds really cheap, just wanted to make sure if these guys had a good reputation.

Why do you think so? I have worked for Ferrari, loved all the models and yet I am not interested at all in having one and I can tell you the reason why...
Just out of curiosity, what are some of the big reasons you would never own a F-car? It seems like the stepping stone up for many P-car owners...

Wow, that is tough. The main reason I dont blame Tim for trying to sell his to a Rennlister first. But if you gotta sell, sometimes its just the first douche bag with the money!

Nice to hear you had few issues with your 911, you certainly 'used' your Porsche based on the mileage. Just a case of seller's remorse I'd say. Good luck with the F355, sounds like you'll forget about the sale once you're in the Ferrari. Good luck!

I doubt it. He had no trouble with his 911. Something tells me he will be cussing his 355 and lamenting his 911 sale. This coming from someone who is also looking for an F355. I am looking at it for a 3rd car that I know is one of the least reliable Ferrari has ever built which is quite an accomplishment. They are beautiful though, and knowing what you're getting into beforehand is key.

Good luck. I used www.roadscholar.com for my transport b/w Fla. and NY. No issues and very reasonable. Make sure any carrier is FULLY INSURED.
