Default I was at the Long Beach coin s

I was at the Long Beach coin show on Saturday. I was talking to a dealer about a specific coin I was looking for. He happened to be wearing one of those Ferrari watches that you see advertised In the Robb report. I mentioned to him that I had been looking for a Ferrari. I told him that I had gotten frustrated with my search and I was going to purchase a late model carrera Instead.
He told me that he had a 1991 348ts that he had bought brand new. He said that the car hasn't been driven In 5 years It's been In his garage with a car cover on it. He said the car had less than 15k miles on it. To make a long story short I am going to look at the car today. Maybe this will be my diamond in the rough. We haven't discussed pricing yet, Although having done business with him In the past he's always been fair.

I just came home from looking at the car. From a cosmetic viewpoint the car is flawless. I'm just a little concerned about the car sitting for 5 years. Besides the 30k service what else will have to be done to the car to bring It up to par.
