The last of the Italian Thoroughbreds to get a proper Manual transmission, these vehicles are the holy grail of true Ferrari enthusiasts. The 550 Maranello is also the most inexpensive Ferrari to maintain with its conventional front engine layout. This truly is one of the only Ferraris that will not break the bank on routine maintenance and upkeep. This vehicle is in excellent condition and drives exactly as a Ferrari should. It has been properly cared for and service records are present. This 550 has the factory "active-exhaust" to provide a dignified exhaust note at idle while delivering the signature Ferrari roar when the accelerator is down. This vehicle has a fitted car cover and a Ferrari factory battery tender that go with the vehicle. 550 Maranello are rare, but make no mistake-even from the slightest glance EVERYONE will know you are driving one of the classiest Ferraris on the road!                                                                                                                     Condition                                                                     This vehicle is in outstanding mechanical condition. The clutch has been serviced and engages flawlessly. The gear-shifts are solid and drama free. The engine is extremely powerful (please take great care when turning off traction control!) and in top-form. Radio sounds great and has the 6-Disc CD changer. The seats are in good condition with only minor wear on the outside driver seat bolster. This vehicle was in an accident in the early 2000's. All affected body panels were replaced with genuine Ferrari parts. No frame damage exists and the vehicle was repaired properly, but it does have a Rebuilt/Salvage title. The entire repair record is present and will go to the new buyer. This 550 Maranello has had the brake, clutch and oiling system serviced by Ferrari and mechanically needs nothing. The low mileage ensures years of trouble-free driving. This vehicle will be perfect for the driving minded enthusiast. Please find copies of the service and repair history on this Ferrari below the all of the pictures in this listing.
