Who on earth would buy a Ferrari like this.
Who on earth would buy a Ferrari like this.

I wonder what the weekly payment would be on that! 
That's the ugliest Ferrari ive ever had the misfortune to see.
Lol, I hate that dealer. Blows up criagslist Richmond with posts in the owner section.

Thank God it wasn't just me.
I wonder if they'd just rent it out for a weekend? One that coincidentally had an autocross...
That's pretty much the least desirable Ferrari I've ever seen, but I'm always willing to make a terrible decision for the right price.
I tried to read that ad and nearly had an aneurysm.

I'm sure they would, but you have to sign the papers like you're buying it and then they are gonna hammer you in the booty...until the next sucker that thinks they can afford $800/month (for the next 47 years) shows up. 
Say 67K realistic price. 10 year note with someone like Woodside ~10% down would be less then 570$ a month I think.
Remove the stripes and confirm the clutch is OK and you are good to go for another 10K miles with minimal loss in values. 360 spyders are fantastic cars.
Would I buy it from someone like him, not in a million years with someone else's money.
Someone should post a countering ad claiming that car is really a Fiero with a body kit. 
Lets see, $75K for a 395hp Ferrari, or less than $10K for a 400 hp Jag XKR convertible from the same year. Which one its less likely to get me into trouble?
Not a single pic of interior, but we get pix of both exterior rear view mirrors?
It's funny. I handle independent dealers like these guys all the time at my job. I'm always blown away by what kind of inventory these guys sometimes carry. There was a tiny car lot near my apartment here that had a 456 sitting on their lot for well over a year..right next to a lovely beige Camry.
But it comes with the Ferrari purse!
'Cause buying a $75k Ferrari is just what someone with bad credit should be doing.
Im at a loss for words. Not really, here are some words. Who is the target audience? Are we really trying to snag the customer who is looking for a ferrari, but has bad credit and shops for cars on craigslist? I will bet $100 that the guy who buys this will crash it while drunk in the first year.

Which is weird. Those things are mondo money sometimes if they are the full matched set.
Like 7K sometimes depending on the model.

No interior shots mean that the car is a pile or the owner is driving it on the dealership insurance and money. Not a terrible thing to do actually as you avoid the sales tax that way and you can hold sometimes as much as two years.

Now this is starting to make a lot more sense 
I've always kinda liked the 360 (just not with that stripe.)

There it is!
You're a rinky dink used car lot owner that preys on people with bad credit. So what do you do rather than pay taxes on your net income? You reinvest in another car to put on the lot. Even better it's a Ferrari you can drive. Even better yet is you ask $10k more than it's worth so if someone does buy it, you can at least make out hand over fist on it!
Secretly I think a number of people, dealers like this as well, are buying cheap 360's F1 cars to hold onto until that outfit in Europe finalizes the manual conversion they have been pitching to people behind closed door.
If its sub 25K to do the conversion there is a lot of money to be made until the market get saturated with manual cars.

In my area there is tiny used car dealer at the back of a class-C office complex... with a Countach, a Rapide, a Ghost, several Ferraris and a half-dozen Indy cars tucked away in the garage behind his lot.
cough This venom has been for sale locally almost 2 years now. Basic used car lot with tons of appliances, but a few gems.
Not quite buy here pay here, but not much higher on the food chain.
If I had the money and that was the car I wanted, what does it matter whose hands it passed through? The ad says that there are records, and if you went to look at it you could see the interior and other stuff they didn't take pictures of. If it passed all the normal checks you would do for any other used sports car (including inspection by a specialist shop) why would the seller stop you?
Locally there is a very big dealership that specializes in exotics and collectibles. I think they are actually the local AM and Lotus dealer too. They are in a wealthy part of town approximately 2 miles from Microsoft's main campus. There is a similar yellow 360 F1 coupe on their lot, and I don't believe for a second that buying from them would get you any more assurance than buying from this little lot.

A dead Maserati BiTurbo.
