The Viper (a normal one) is a less expensive car to operate. Ferraris don't suffer mileage well on resale and so if that's a concern, maybe it shouldn't be the daily driver. The 355 will feel slow by comparison. The 355 has even less ground clearance than the Dodge - something else to consider re: the daily driving deal. The 355 will sound a good bit better (IMO) than the Viper. A new Ferrari 360 can be purchased at MSRP if you're prepared to order (er, get on a list) and wait.

Hey guys, I'm thinking about going through the lemon law hassle on my Viper soon and I would like to take the equity I've built up and buy a used 355 Spider (red 6 spd of course :-) )

I've noticed that the Viper doesn't lose much value as the years go by, even with daily driver miles. Does a Ferrari (specifically the 355)? Does it a-pprecaite (I wouldn't think so, but the 360s are over sticker even used...is that normal? Can a person get a new Ferrari at sticker without owning/sleeping with the owner of a dealership?)

As far as repairs, obviously I've had enough to last me for a while, does the 355 keep itself together pretty well, or is it the "typical" hand-made job with the associated problems?
