    I was surprised to see what I can get if I were a U.S. buyer at $30k and looking for a Ferrari today. I know in Europe, these cars go for alot more money. I comb the pages of Cars.com and Autotrader and left eBay out. There are tons forsale on Craigslist as well but too many to list. Lots of Mondials for sure but did notice the QV cars are creeping up in prices and there was even a 348 for this price. I'm not saying these are the best examples of each model and they do not need tons of money to get them right, but merely a sampling of whats out there in the market. To be fair, there were plenty of nice Mondials and 348s in the upper 30ks and 40ks as well. Interesting....

    Europe, but not by much.

    Mike, agree with you 100%. Over here in Portugal, it's difficult to find a decent Mondial under a 30.000€ pricetag. In (southern) Europe as a general rule (with the exception of Italy perhaps), Mondials are considerably more expensive than in north America. Mondial prices over there are incredibly low, from an European point of view it seems you're giving them away!

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.

    Some of these have high miles, but yes I know a high mile car could be in better shape than something that has low miles and has been sitting most of its life.

    Agreed, Mondials in Europe seem to be much...much...more expensive - we're certainly lucky to have them at approachable prices....as far as how long this will last...who knows? The Mondial is the exotic world's best kept secret...

    So, where is that at? :) Sounds exactly what I'm looking for. Coupe or Cabrio?

    Thanks!

    If you're after a keeper, there's a salvage title 355 for around $35k on ebay. Looks nice. I don't think you'll get more car for the money than that.

    I would like a nice Mondial t, though. Tough to get the whole family in a 355.

    I was hoping to get into a 3x8 but unless we are in a bubble I'm out at these price levels. Mondial's are still a great value I bet they will be rising soon also.

    That's a damn cheap price for a 348 Mike! Generally the later ones get a bit of a premium over the earlier 348's. I inquired about one for sale recently but had no luck getting in touch with the dealer selling it and it is sold now. I have yet to drive a 348 but want to check one out and see how it feels for me.

    Too bad the 400i is such an ugly car...
