Why Are 348's so Cheap?

Crema. Color code '04'

 

It could also really be tan with an overexposed camera setting or some fluke with the camera. If you look at the picture from the front of the car you can see the headrests look tan. Also on the interior shots the farthest tan leather from the camera looks close to the tan.

Looked at it but it seemed to be a pig with lipstick. I may have found one. I'll know thursday morning.. if all goes right I'll have an 1100 mile trip home in it to get to know her better

 

Ben,
Glad to hear you may have found the right car for you.

It's not a '94 or at least the front grill is not '94. Should have black lip around grill in '94. I think even '93 and up.

 

Where is it listed at. What's the vin #. The only pic is the one you have posted. The challenge badges were available with the challenge kits. They were placed on the right rear. Mine is a '94 and has one, but I have seen '94 challenges that were not raced without. Conceivable to buy one and put it on. If it's on the left it's not original.

I only see the front grill. It might be a '94, but the front grill has been changed.

You can see the black rim around the grill.

I believe you. According to the s/n 98452 it's #5 of 32 '94 CH tb. Original yellow with black. Raced by Miller Motors as #70 in the 348 challenge.

Looks a bit rough hence the price. The grill and or the front bumper may have been replaced. Someone put the 348 challenge badge on the wrong side!

 

Here it is in race trim.

Thats nice and cheap. AU$52K. CHEAP!! Im moving to America. Sell my 348 and buy 2x348's there.

 

Recently bought a '90 348tb, black w/ tan. Just spent 10k at Ferrari in SoCal to bring the car mechanically to where it should be, then had the entire car painted. Also added a sound system along with other odds and ends. To me, the car is as beautiful as anything on the road, and gives me the same thrill either looking at it, or driving it, as I would probably get driving any other exotic. Just plain thrilled to have it!

Still plan to do an exhaust and different wheels and a little interior work- but I'll basically have a new/ old exotic that you may see me driving up and down PCH on any beautiful SoCal weekend.

If you see me, honk!

 

Could you provide a link. Thanks

 

or buy one F355c

 

Exactly! What else can you drive that is so nice @ <$50K? I just don't get why I am having such a hard time getting $45K for mine. I did the same thing and bought at $45K and put another $15K in it to make it proper. The car is in absolute perfect shape and condition. Added F355 18" wheels and carbon trim for the interior, and countless little tidbits from Ricambi... Don't ask me how much I have in it, I probably don't want to know...

 

Joe - I am sure you will sell your car easily once warm weather rolls in

 

I think mileage comes into play........Most buyers have been brainwashed into thinking that all used Ferrari's should be low mileage. IMHO

 

Yes, I agree that the mileage is a concern. However, if I were to choose between a 348 on the market and a 348 that was built to our forum popular specs, , I would choose the on that has been built on this forum. All of our members know each other, we all work together to have the Ferrari that the factory intended. 65,000 miles is considered high in the F_Car market but not to our members that know the car, the owner, and the level of pampering we give them. This forum has been huge in my Ferrari learning curve. Cars that come from our members seem to be a cut above... I just wish I could convince the buyer market of that...
