Hello All... I am new to the forum and have an opportunity to buy a 1993 348 Ferrari with 23,000 miles. Cosmetically it's wonderful. Engine replaced at 68,00 miles with a 320 HP F.N.A. motor it has fiberglass seats covered and special wheels. it is of course Red and Buckskin brown interior. it drives out nice, and has just a few "Small" issues. it's been sitting for about 4 years in A/C garage and run infrequently since. Not sure what to offer for it ?????? They are asking $60,000 for it but I believe that's a bit high. I am told it is 1 of 100 for that year and 15 more were made in 94 ??? Any help out there would be appreciated thank you all for your interest and help.... Perhaps I will be an owner next time I post... I am a Commercial pilot and have MUCH interest in the car!!!!
Hi Dennis, Welcome in this very helpful community. This thread, though, is likely to be overlooked by most, was the same in my case. Perhaps you post it somewhere else, e.g. in the model specific thread? I do not know about the US market prices. Here in Germany cars in an usable state and comparable milage start at about 52,000 USD and end in the mid 60s, the later having a full service record and recent big service. "Small issues" can result in large money, so beware and try to get some chap to have a look at the car, who knows about the weak points of the particular model. I personally have the experience that cars having sat a longer time develop quite a lot of "small issues", and even larger ones, when taken into use again. I would in any case prefer a car, where the vendor has completed a big service within the last year and can provide according documentation about what has been done. Good luck, Cheers, Bernhard
You need to do some more homework - it is just possible it is one of the 348SS - but non-use & minor issues suggests a very thoro PPI is required - spend some time in the 348 section here & at My Ferrari 348 Also does 68,00 mean 6,800 or 68,000 : big difference !
Hi. Place your post in the 348 section for better success. Not many of us check here often. Unfortunately I don't know anything about 348s. Good luck.
Ditto on the Pre Purchase inspection. As mentioned "small" issues can come with a big price tag, thinking you mean 6800 miles ? If you drive it the value seems to fall a bit, that's why I have only put 3000 miles on my 355 this year ... So far
The posters before me are right... you may want to ask your question in the 348/355 forum. Welcome! Mike
