New Buyer Needs Help in Atlanta

Greg,

That would be great. I'm booked on a flight getting into Atlanta Wednesday night, take the MARTA up to a Roswell hotel. Thursday AM (Feb 4th) I'll be picked up by the salesman to make the deal. My return flight departs at 4:15 PM Thursday. The flight was only $340. My brother says I better get a mechanic to check it out. I'm not much of a mechanic and can't really hear, but I sure know how to spend some real bucks!

I would really appreciate your checking it out. It should be marked sold but it is contingent upon satisfactory inspection. It always helps to have someone point out areas to check out more. These cars are so gorgeous and your emotions are through the roof, it is hard to find the flaws. A perfect example of love is blind. Since I'll be pretty much worthless, if you could take a look and let me know if you see any question marks, that would be a big help.

Is it OK for me to update my Club Cobra car details now or is that sacrilegious? If I have HALF the fun drinking beer in my garage staring at my Cobra as I have had shopping for one, it will be well worth the cost. Cost? What cost honey.....?

The Maserati dealer in Atlanta is Ferrari of Atlanta. I guess that is who you are buying the car from. They have an excellent reputation with most folks. Check out this thread from the Ferrari board...

I live in Atlanta and own a Superformance. You will love it. I bought mine in a similar fashion. I saw the car on Cobra Country. It was in Richmond, VA. Did a deal contingent on the car being as described. My mechanic offered to fly up with me to check it out. Other people told me the car was great -I had nothing to worry about. Just fill it with gas and drive it home. I flew to Richmond with my wife (one way tickets). Drove the car around for 20 minutes. Gave the owner a check and had lunch with him and his wife. We drove the car home on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Perfect.

That was November 2006. Still smiling.
