WANTED - 355!!!

What was diagnosis for engine blowup?...are you talking about top or bottom end?

 

i know of an F1 for sale in Long Island

 

i will pm you

 

Was recall performed?.....if so did Ferrari buy back the car? Who did the 15000 mile service.....man I would be on somebody about that...yikes

 

I hate hearing stories like this - or seeing pictures of F430s where the only identifiable remnant is the wheel.

Better luck this time. I'm actually looking forward to my 30k major!

 

Mine did about the same thing at 17-20k miles

For mine, however, I got the guys at Auto Sport Designs to rebuild and rebalance the engine for 26k and the car is now more powerful and runs stronger than ever before, and in the end it was cheaper than buying a new one.

Lets hear the story about your car - is it still in one piece or is it burned. Are you interested in selling it as-is?

 

My hats off to you for wanting another 355 after what you've gone through.
I think most people would just turn away and look for other models or even avoid the brand altogether.
Well that goes to say 355 does have its charms.
Hope you find your next car soon. Good luck and have fun searching.

 

The recall was not specifically for the fuel pump, but with the routing of the fuel lines, and the proximity to a coolant hose clamp, that if not positioned correctly, would rub on the fuel line, causing a leak.

 

I have made sure my fuel lines do not rub on anything when the lid is closed.......... after reading too many 355 "fuel leak stories" on here.... .

 

Are the remains of your car for sale? I need parts!

Sorry about your Spyder.....

 

Wow, sorry to hear. Was that in CT? Sounds like at least insurance would cover it, so you made out better than failing a timing belt at least.

I don't worry about this happening (mine was post-recall), but I've seen enough stories that I do watch the rear view mirror closely...
