Don't know, but cars sitting uncranked for five years not driven I think will start to have issues.

yes, i want to trade the one i have now, it has alot of miles and wanted one with less. but i'm not sure what i can get for the one i have now. it has about 36000 miles. i don't want to invest alot of money into it when i can get a newer one. but with such low miles i think he would want more than what i am willing to pay. and i don't want to nsult the guy by offering a low bid.

Is that the price on yours? How many miles does it have?

I don't recall that Sam's was ever for sale.... unless you have an Enzo that you like to go straight across for.

I am sure that for the right price is for sale. The problem is that no one is offering the right price yet. If Sam feels that $225 is a fair price, he may let his go for $250.

Hell, at 36,000 miles your engine is just starting to break in. I can't wait to get there!

Brilliant!! So insightful! I think you answered your own question.

Thanks for the compliment! Sometimes I have a flash of genus. That still doesn't answer the 2nd part of the question of how many miles Sam has on that garage queen.

I have a Heritge with 35 miles and I for one would not let it go for $250K. These cars are coming harder and harder to come by with such few miles.

$235K was offered and turned down. It has never been for sale. 2 years ago, I considered selling the GT when an Enzo went on the market, but the Enzo turned out to be a shady deal.

The Heritage has 151 miles on her and gets started and is allowed to get up to normal operating temperatures on a monthly basis. She gets all her fluids changed (at my workshop) and exactly as recommended by the owners manual courtesy of Kendall & Ryan. This particular Heritage comes with an MSO and has never been titled/registered. Rotation decal is still on the windshield and all the original wrappers & stickers. The dealer I bought it from gave me everything he got with the car including the lottery chip which almost never go on ebay plus much more. The car was incredibly wrapped with clear bra and the only other treatment it has is a set of extra 6 spoke orange painted wheels.

In short, its not for sale even at $250K

Sound like an excellent example that is well cared for. I take it that the car isn't registered in CA, if it is, don't ever let your ECU lose power or you will have to drive it possible hundreds of miles to reset the P1000 code for a CA smog test. :ack

How do you keep the power at the ecu, for example, when you replace the battery? thx

How much would the last production, US allocated, Heritage, owned by the Ford family with 65 miles be worth? It is not for sale just in for maintenance. Just curious.

You can hook up a jump box through the cigerette lighter.

They also make a jumper cord that will connect a jump box straight in to the OBD port.
