How long will it take to find a good 355 GTS?

If you're looking for a GTS with 6 speed, you may need to start looking soon.

I've been looking since August.

 

Suggestion: If you really want it to be a surprise - give it to her *whenever* - not in August, when she may (apparently, due to stated target Month) be expecting something, surprise or not.

Here you go.

I want rosso/black 6-speed myself.

I've seen a few LHD GTS's advertised on a few UK sites (Pistonheads.com). I just checked on Hemmings and there is one listed in Germany, but I was curious if anyone has any experience shipping cars from Europe as an alternative to finding a GTS here in the States. Is this something to be avoided?

 

Not exactly Rare : 2,000+ Produced. Prices Rise with the Temperature.Great time to Buy.

 

Start looking now!!!

 

Here's a 1995 yellow GTS

The 355 GTS is the last of the targa topped cars and is the way to go. Look how strong the pricing still is. I will also be looking for one in blue, so if anybody finds one, let me know.

 

What am I missing here? Right now there are so many 355s for sale, they are surpassed only by 360s. Everyone that has one for sale has been complaining that they can't sell it. I mean, it's either a buyer's market or a seller's market, which is it? Or is it that the guys selling them want too much for them and the guys buying think they are overpriced? This is a serious question, as I have seen a lot of ads, people holding out for unrealistic money for 348s and 355s (and 360s, but I'm not looking for one of those) and they are not selling. At some point these things are going to start reflecting a more realistic market price. Is the issue in finding a "good one" related to the service (valve guides, headers) having been taking care of, or just finding one that is in decent shape for under $90K?

It's just the GTS's that are hard to find. With GTB's & Spiders it's a buyer's market for sure.

 

At that price one should find a few good examples

 

Definitely a Buyers Market. The Glut of 360s is depressing the 348/355 Market. Our BENTLEY Dealer has 4 360s for sale.Amazing, they are everywhere !

 

OK, i found them. 355s with Manny Trannys :

3,938 - Berlinettas

2,663 - Spiders

2,048 - Targas
