All my service records are available and are included in the sale. In addition, photocopies of prior service records are included. \r\n\r\nThe car received it\u2019s 30,000-mile service in June 2024. At that time both valve cover gaskets were replaced, two taillights that could not be repaired were replaced, both front lower ball joints and both tie rod ends were replaced, and the F1 transmission was serviced. Four new Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires were installed.\r\n\r\nBetween October 2023 and May 2024, the car received service at Ferrari of Austin. The top has always been a little fiddly and had some wear. During that service, a new convertible top and headliner were installed along with a rebuild of the convertible top hydraulics, de-sticky of the radio surround, replacing both window switches, replacing the wind stops behind the seats, and repairing two headlights. \r\n\r\nBoth fuel pumps were replaced in December 2022. The AC control unit was replaced in May 2017. Both right and left exhaust manifolds were replaced under warranty in May 2016, and a full \u201cde-sticky\u201d was performed. \r\n\r\nA custom sound system was installed in April 2017, with a Kenwood head unit, Focal Speakers, and a removable sub-woofer that is placed behind the passenger\u2019s seat (can be seen in the photos). The boxes for this equipment have been retained and will be delivered with the car. The speakers that were removed at that time were retained and will be delivered with the car. The original Ferrari sat nav unit has been retained and will be delivered with the car (can be seen in the photos).\r\n\r\nPrior records indicate the clutch was replaced in June 2014 with at 20,506 miles per the service invoice.\r\n\r\nPlease don\u2019t hesitate to contact me with questions.", "likes": 4, "timestamp": 1730866972, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 16044285, "authorName": "afsil (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/afsil/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "To JDSDR, I'm around this weekend.
