Actually Scott, I think even some of the early 98's had the bronze guides...I need to look up that post again... Wasn't the build numbers posted when the change took place? | ||

As has been discussed many times, we now know that all 355's through late 1997 have bronze guides. There are a few 97's having the guides changed out now. The problem is not limited to 95's. If you want to be sure, buy a 98 or newer 355 or an earlier car that has been repaired. | ||

This 1996 LeMans Blue 355 GTS might not be too bad as a daily driver. Only asking for $ 89k and I bet it will sell for $80k with only 16000 miles     | ||

I bought a very late gts new; i don't think it was discontinued as such. At the end, i thought the only ones made were the Fiorano spyders. They weren't too popular, though and seemed to be neither fish nor fowl, although i liked the aesthetic of mine and it didn't flex noticeably. Have no idea how to answer BBB's question, as VZ points out. I also think it would be a harder resale than a coupe or convertible, if that's what the 12 month aspect means. | ||

too many variables on a not specific enough question here: * color/miles on the GTS? * service history stuff? * stick or paddle? * if memory serves, Ferrari discontinued the GTS and went to only offering the GTB or Spyder. Is this an indication the demand slacked off, or did Ferrari figure they could steer 'open air' people to the spyder? If lack of demand, then for the kind of $$ someone would fork over for a generic 355, you may not find many buyers or interest...translation, lower prices. On the other hand, for someone specifically looking for a GTS, you could be in luck. I think you should narrow down your criteria to come up with a better answer. At any point in time, the price could probably vary by $5k, depending on which buyer set you locate. Of course, you could always dump it now and stick the $$ into a money market fund at 1% for a year...  | ||

Thjat's a pretty good question. If the economy picks up substantially, then I think you get more in a year. Know anyone with a crystal ball that works? Art | ||

IF it has the paddle shifter, it may bring more money. If the 360 replacement comes within that 12 month time, he will get less for it than he will now.. | ||

If someone was offering a very nice, 1998 355GTS for a quick sale...what do you think they would get now or in the next 12 months? |
