    Guys, the market is not what it was 10 years ago. Here is a current screenshot from eBay. There's an F1 spider (yes low miles) for $150k, another for $110. Manual GTBs have commanded a good premium over F1 spiders for a long time.

    Every F355 that pops up is met with a 'haha lol smoking crack', 'must be shill bidders', 'must've been in an accident' etc. etc. We all know what a 993 Turbo costs. Why the skepticism towards F355 prices?

    Because at auction they're getting nowhere near these asks. Are these cars moving?

    I'm not saying the 355 isn't worthy of these asks by any means..just real sales doesn't reflect these asks. That car asking $175k IMO isn't worth that not even close. You can buy one with half the miles and rarer spec with less question marks and better condition for a fair bit less...it's just not in the US.

    Should also mention there's road legal Challenge cars asking around the same as that GTB on eBay. That car got bid to $130k+ on PCarMarket and I'm dumbfounded they didn't take that and run considering its condition.

    1995 Ferrari 355 Berlinetta.
    Vin ZFFPR41A120101006

    Asking $89,995

    29k miles. Early car. Challenge wheels. Heavy engine out service bill from Black Horse Motorworks. Capristo exhaust with headers.

    Is this car really worth half the red one? At least this ones got the original stickers in place and doesn't show signs of a repaint...

    This car didn't meet reserve at Mecum I guess so they're trying to sell private.

    Right but not many people are considering the trouble and expense of buying and homologating a European car. Europe, Australia, Japan etc. and the US are all unique markets with their own pricing.

    Challenge cars are rare but not very usable and they've all been beat up. Look at 360,430, 458 race cars.. all tend to fetch less than road going versions, not so unusual.

    Fair...but 1995 and even 1996 models are fair game for Americans now as they're 25 years old...so that argument is not totally valid. I'll admit the challenge cars are a different animal...but for rarity sake one would imagine would command a higher price than the pedestrian road going versions.

    the problem with this car is its ghettoed out so people click pastit...id buy this car and deghetto it. someone shld go look at it. there is nothing weird going on with prices. this is how cars appreciate. Dino, F40, 430 sticks, all of them...one or two cars trade above market and then the market either moves or doesn't. right around 25 years things usually start to get interesting. so here we are....there is no doubt in my mind a 95 f355 is NOT a sub 120K car....and despite the dino love, it shd be worth more than a dino.

    The wild card is the valves....thats $20k if they need to be done

    a major is $8,500, clutch a few thousand more. spending $63K on a f355 is hard to do. valves?

    F1s arent getting any love right now so id keep them aside for discussion purposes.

    maybe here in the USA we will start seeing 95s imported from other countries? when that happens its usually cars that are going to be restored for the first batch...interesting time...

    when f1 and indy car drivers declare a car to be fun and beautiful in 2021, well what else needs to be said?

    There is a point here I agree with and never understood. 993 turbos are great cars, and I would consider them tanks mechanically compared to 355s. But the 355 is much more attractive, sounds way better than a 993, handles better from what I understand(but have yet to drive my 355 yet so can't officially say) and most importantly it's a ferrari. Here in Canada 993 turbos are actually selling at 180k usd. I know for a fact a shoddy history, gated 355 just sold in Toronto for 92usd. 90k less than 993 turbos?

    They made 6000 993 turbos, and about as many gated GTBs and GTSs combined which I would say is a direct comparable contemporary to the 993 turbo. I think 355s have room to run even if they're more of a hassle to maintain.

    I think the confusion occurs because there's a bunch of 355s that aren't really the 355s that "drivers" consider 355s. You can't find endless amounts of topless 993 turbos with f1 transmissions or coupe 993 turbos with f1 transmissions which in my opinion kind of confuse the market. There's a lot of people out there that are content with having the 355 shape but not the 355 "guts" so to speak. That's just not the reality with the 993 turbo.

    We are our own worst enemy. so many people here have their egos wrapped up in their cars, they have to put down every car they see as a "dumpster fire" because it has a sticky on one of the switches.

    I am convinced that if those particular members were instead on the 993 TT forums, they would have tanked their values too.

    Which always raises the question if they have owned an exotic car in the first place or are they just another internet poser sharing their "knowledge".

    "I would date Cindy Crawford IF she would just get that mole removed from her face"........right.....

    Every Ferrari has a spot in the rich history of Ferrari. Unless you have owned (meaning bought, paid for and maintained) a specific model......or work on them for a living......how much usable "knowledge" do you really have?
