Was great meeting you man! Was fun showing you around and I appreciate the shoutout, looking forward to any future collaborations 🙏🏼

Glad to see you back. I hope all is well with you. The mechanic seems like a very good guy and one I would trust to work on my vehicle.

Could not care less about cars but this guy is so genuine, so normal and so refreshingly not a fake badass act like every other youtuber, especially car youtubers who all put on an an act and try to low key act like a big boss who is rich and let everyone know just how great they are. This guy's videos are enjoyable to watch even if you don't care for the content. That says a lot. Well done.

When a mechanic is test driving your car, he's listening for issues. This is the only time you SHOULDN'T TALK non-stop.

That is probably the Best Buy you've made. Even if the bill for repairs is $15K it is worth it. Great car Sam. You did great.

It sounds like the transmission shifts of a city bus.

Great to see you back Sam! Awesome video and I love that you are so willing to take a chance on such an amazing car!

great show Sam kept me glued Saturday morning.

When Tony was reading the list of items that needed repaired, it had that feeling that he was going to be parking his yacht next The Car Wizard’s.

You found a great tech. Hope to see him more often on the channel!

Your back and yet another good find and video! Missed ya Sam!

That garage looks the real deal : lots of space; clean; well lit; and very knowledgeable staff. And they seem very professional. Wishing the garage success with the new location, and Sam the best with this new project. I love the big front engined Ferraris. They are very, very cool. And elegant. And cool :)

13:30 Your comment to the technician on a stop leak additive !the look he gave you was Priceless! You looking for mechanic in can ? Lol 😆

That mechanic had a little Eric the Car Guy Look to him

Great and insightful episode! Keep it up

Look forward to the next one, glad to get home and see you back online!!! 😎

Samcrac “So you’re running a special. Get a free clutch with every oil change.” Tony “Any make or model” in a deadpan voice and look. 🤣 This is going to be a great relationship.👍

Great to see you back in action! And with another Ferrari no less! Glad everyone is well 👍

Our engine treatment won't help with the leaks, but it sure will protect all the bearings and friction surfaces. We'd be happy to send you some!

Shes a keeper. At that price I'd daily it. Thing will probably go 250k plus miles with little effort or a ton of cash. Thanks to the previous owner. This car has all the hallmarks of being garaged and drove sparingly over the last several years if much at all. Congratulations. Hell of a buy sam

Tony looks like a long lost cousin of Sam...

Awesome video Sam with awesome cars. @CassianLevinson thanks for taking the time out of your day to give us a look at the all the cars. Sam Can't wait for you to go for your first ride after the car is done.

First video I’ve watched and I loved the personality you got my sub!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you!

Great video, very fun to see the inspection from a Ferrari certified tech, learned a lot.

This more or less emphasizes cars are designed to be driven and many of the problems these exotics have come from sitting in a garage for the majority of their lives.

With this car, you have a chance to take the right steps now. Getting these guys to do the timing belt, oil change, throw out bearing, clutch, and f1 actuator up front is what I consider a good investment. Changing all the tires is probably a very good idea as well. the leaking shocks, well... they can probably wait until you can source some at a better price. Overall, a nice purchase and there is plenty of space here to do some good sane fixes without getting in way over your head.

All the best to the new shop, guys! As for the car, Sam, let us see what all the repairs costs total before we find out if it was a good deal or not.

Really enjoyed listening to Bradly and the rest of European Exotics crew!

I'm so happy you're back and feeling better Sam, I missed your show.

Interesting show Thanks for all the information.hope Good fortune comes your way.

Any good friction shop can resurface the flywheel, re-friction the disc and replace shock springs, and resurface/re-spring the pressure plate. No OEM finished parts needed, except perhaps the TO bearing.. and thats probably a borrowed item from a mass produced car.

Fun fact: The ghost in the middle of the engine window (@24:25) is Koenigsegg honoring the Swedish Royal Airforce division that used to be located where the cars are built now. They use the old airstrip for drive tests.

Sort the CEL and sticky buttons, mop the paintwork, advertise for 48k and flip it for 45k.

Congratulations Sam! Love this model! A beauty... The classic styling Ferrari that will last a lifetime. A combination of the past, present and future styling that carries the Italian Ferrari styling character. Bellissimo! :)

Thanks for being so open and up front with this car!

This was an amazing episode well done!

Awesome video Sam !!!! Beautiful car, and I think you got a great deal !!!

This is great, lookung forward for the next 3 years of failed repair.

Solid vid - enjoyed the walk through.

Great to see you back Sam with a potential winner car purchase. Well deserved indeed. Would like to see what that oil looks like from 2014. Just crazy. $15k to fix is still a great buy for this one! Cheers!

I've not been digging quite a few of your recent video's Sam, but this one was really watchable and pretty good. Good luck with the new Ferrari. Look forward to hear about the repairs!

I remember on Top Gear when Jeremy raced the Scaglietti up to Switzerland, he also had the windshield wiper noise on his car.

I had one of these for 2 years . A lot of fun at high speeds. Highly underrated. You’ll love it when it’s all done, good luck 😀

Great episode, entertaining throughout. I'd like it twice if I could.

Shocked to see you got a 612. More shocked it’s in such great shape for such a good price! Your guy in the video has a serious Fernando Alonso look!

Great episode Sam! EEC and Tony Dippel are clearly the Real Deal. Immaculate shop, specialized equipment and properly trained mechanics. The only thing that could have made it better is if you had taken your Step Mother with you! 😲🤣 Keep up the good work!

33k was a deal, as long as the fixes is less than say, 15k, including a good detailing and ceramic coating!

That was a great buy, seriously. Even if you pay that company to do all the work, it is one cheap 612. I would have it in a heartbeat, faults and all. I can't believe the original owner did that damage to the driver's seat.

+100 on the Hondabond, excellent stuff. I've long since gone to this sealer over any sort of rtv.

Nice one Sam, really enjoyed that video.

I took a road trip to the corvette museum. It just so happened that a Cadillac XLR club was there that day. They were pretty neat looking.

Sammy risks it all when he finds a Ferrari

Wow that transition into the Promo....... you're getting smooth. Smooth like your head will be unless you use Keeps. Keeps is a revolutionary online system to help get you the medication you need to reverse baldness and make women love you

Try Prolong Transmission & Engine oil additive, it's a good lubricant, runs smooth I recommend it for any car cuz it's not thick like Lucas oil

A great BMW/Audi free video, one of the best for ages. A must watch when future videos follow the 612 progress.

I'm glad you're taking it to professionals; now you'll have at least one car finished.

We all saw what happens when Sam buys a ferrari this is going to be an never ending series 🤣

All your videos are great. I love watching your videos

The 612. One of my faves. I always liked the touring Ferrari's the most, the long nose, the rumbling V12, especially the older Daytonas. $33K for this buggy is a terrific bargain. 99K miles aside, it's a great price. I'll guess the overhaul, throw out bearing, clutch, gaskets etc... $17,000. ( I wonder if I'm close)

Sam - you said you bought the car in April, so maybe the date on the filter is 13th April (04/13) not 2013. Rental or not no one is going to let a Ferrari go 8 years w/o an oil / filter change...just a thought

That social media dude was like 12 yrs old when they were calling that the “Caddy Corvette”...lol.

30 bags for a 612 with 100k on it and all it needs is an oil change, a clutch and a gearbox bearing? This sir, is a true unicorn purchase.

What a gorgeous facility. Tony reminds me of Tim Roth.

Good to see you back. Was getting Samcrac withdrawal symptoms - The overwhelming urge to purchase cars, start fixing them and then place them unfinished in a field......... =D

Out of all of those exotic cars, that ‘60s cougar in the background looks sweet.

Nice find , keep up the amazing work 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

Very interesting video. Thx!

That mechanic needs his own Ferrari repair channel

I really really want to see that oil change. 8 years and almost 100K miles? I want to see that...

Nice to see you back !!!! Awesum car

When he said “don’t set proxy bids because you may end up paying $30k for a car you wouldn’t spend $22k on” I knew I should have changed the video…when he called the people around him the “peanut gallery” I knew I wouldn’t be watching his videos ever again.

Im getting closer on my Car Trek 308!! I know all about “Cheap Ferrari” pains now as well Sam.

I think you really ought to add to your list a repair of the driver's seat bolster.

Where I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, the uber rich in places like Linville Ridge have their Ferraris and Maseratis hauled from Palm Beach to the mountains in special trailers so they can tool around for a few months before shipping their toys back to Florida for the winter. A local auto shop specializing in exotic cars does a land office business and often there are more than a dozen cars sitting outside waiting for service at $300 per hour. I'll stick with my Mazda CX-5. Five years and no expenses except for oil changes.

I had a 612 a while back and it was an amazing car. Really quick, comfortable and fantastic looks. I kind of wish I had kept it. I really don't think you can find a better driving Ferrari for the money. Great video Samcrac!

I love the Koenigsegg’s attention to detail on the carbon….even flows into the carbon weave on the headlights to match the weave on the body/hood 😦

One of my all time favourite Ferraris, fast, comfortable, a genuinely useable 2+2, some people don’t like the looks but I think they’re stunning, just a ridiculously cool car and so undervalued compared to pretty much any other Ferrari from the 2000s. Also, put it back to stock wheels, these look awful haha.

Really cool video I think seeing detail like this

I think you are 100% correct from the start on it just not being worth picking these up cheap at auction. A quick look and you can find these for ~$110k. You paid 33k, but in the end will pay 30-40k in parts and labor to bring it back to decent condition. In the end you are left with a drivable car with lots of mileage when you could have just spent your money better buying a nicer lower mileage car that will likely hold value better in the future when it comes to sell.

Turning into Copart yourself with all the unfinished cars you have

Looks like you’ve done alright with that one Sam👍.

This car is absolutely stunning. Such a amazing blend of old vs new F-car design and styling.

@Samcrac That is on beautiful car man congrats, you got me to work on my 01 cl55 amg.

Damn, I think you got a good deal - pending costs for the repairs of course. But my hunch from the list, it's still a good deal.

that was a deal and a half, whew great work sam!

Dude, You are my hero and love the story's and the cars etc. You got a very aggressive deal. You might be able to buy a Mondial at that price!!!!!

Lol I love how the mechanic who's being paid by the hour makes sure to do the scan last lol.

Great deal Sam. Now let's see how much time and effort you put into this. Good luck.

That CCXR sounds glorious! 🙏🏻

I’m playing catch up on my videos and I can’t believe how much you paid for that car. Sir you need to fix everything and enjoy that ride. That shop is amazing looking and they really are very knowledgeable on everything. Let them handle it and you will have an amazing Ferrari. Who cares about the miles. You have enough projects on your plate to do. Great buy 👍

I see Dr. Soleymani's Verde Ithaca Diablo in the back. That's such an incredible car

Bradley Cooper? Nah, the dude's a carbon copy of ol' Tim Roth. Good to see you again, Sam!

Can’t wait to buy a Ferrari for our channel!!

Sam how do you know the date isn’t April 13 of this year? Love your channel! Best of luck with your Ferraris🙏

Great find, cant wate to see it with some new wheels

Idk how goonzquad rebuilds 4 cars vefore sam can get 1 done.

My favorite part of this car is the random costco receipt on the passenger floor lol

6:06 Dude looks like a cartoon 😁... Amazing fish eye lens... Cool stuff, I think this Ferrari is really a great deal!

If I ever get a exotic car it is going there, period!! Those guys are incredible and down to earth. Even with the repairs what a deal for a great car!!
