    I'm interested to buy a well-sorted F355 with the following specs:

    Years: Flexible
    Exterior color: Black, Silver, Gray -- no Red or Yellow
    Interior color: Tan or Black
    Transmission: 6-speed manual
    Type: Berlinetta
    Mileage: Less than 20K miles ideally (but open for a well sorted car).

    Major service recently done is preferred.

    Prefer to purchase from a private party, but also open to dealers.

    Looking forward to join the F355 club -- thanks in advance!

    Probably you have already discovered that while more Berlinettas were built than any other model, fewer seem to be for sale, at least in the US. I started looking for a coupe, but decided to "settle for" a spyder, and I'm a happy camper. Happy hunting.

    What is the price point? I may be able to put you in touch with a client looking to sell. It is a USA spec car and F1. I did the service 3 years ago and it's red on tan with those bucket sport seats.

    I'm aware of a red / cream F1 Spider in RHD with approx 70k miles, if you're interested.

    It hasn't had a major service in 9 years and is at the local dealer.

    Let me know if you're keen.

    This spec is a bit of a Unicorn...you see one from time to time, but not often.

    Did you buy the salvage 550 that you were looking at for those sport seats, "just for the heck of it"?

    Some of us bought "just the seats." With all carbon construction, they are less than 1/4 the weight of the power Daytonas in the 550 (or 360/430). I have the challenge seats in my 348 challenge and the US F40 seats for the 355. Seats are the best place to lose weight and get more comfortable too.

    I tried, but the seller didn't respond to several emails I sent him.

    Try Autotrader.

    And call your local authorized SF dealer. They ALWAYS have nice 355's coming up in your area.

    Just remember you will not find 10 out of 10 choices on your wish list. Be prepared to be flexible on the following. You can have 2 choices but normally not 3 or 4:

    Miles / condition / service records
    Color
    Transmission choice
    Price

    Hi Ferrari bud, I noticed you had a ppi done on the silver 95 being sold by veracka motors. Can you give me more info on what you found? I Believe there to be an issue with the chassis that had never been reported.

    Thanks Robb!

    I'm aware of all the GTBs on Autotrader, Cars.com, Craigslist nationwide, Fchat the last 6 months and eBay.

    I know my criteria is not easy to find, but I know it's out there. Appreciate the replies.
