F355 Market

Unfortunately didn't save them. I don't want to see them again either it will just piss me off. The dealer kind of did ****** around and screwed my position in closing the deal but it is what it is. Tough to fight for a car when you're not there in person. Japanese dealership customs/games are also super weird.

 

Tough market to compete in. The Japanese pay to play. You're at a major disadvantage being outside the country. About 4-5 months ago, 355 black/red carbon seats showed up in the Japanese auction. I bid $7k. I don't even like the seats all that much, but I felt the bid was high enough to win. Auction ended at $13k lol.

I tried looking around for a manual F355 GTB/GTS and not much outside of what I have already posted. RSD is selling a beat up challenge car for $200k.

Rare desirable assets are being bought up worldwide. Get what you can and ride the wave.

RS-Dino is a reputable race shop and dealer specializing in Ferraris. Tons of used Ferraris move through them all the time and they are about 1-2 hours away from Tokyo in the suburbs. I've actually been here before. The dealership is in an alley in between a bunch of residential homes lol.

 

Not specifically as I'm not actively looking to sell but will if the right price comes along.

So I guess, a lot?

 

Keep it and take good care of it mate. Gives me a reason to finally visit Perth lol.

 

Oh don't worry it sits under a satin cover and only comes out for a spin around the block once every few months.

Early 95 Red/Tan. Gorgeous.

 

Nice to see one without the challenge grill.

 

I personally would value the carbon seats closer to $20k USD. $13k USD was a fair price.

If you compare with other 90s era cars that had carbon seat options...they're all worth $20k range. The 355 has lagged because the overall value of the cars have lagged.

 

I got excited for a second then Google'd the VIN:

replace *'s with ferrari life

 

You should’ve told me you were willing to pay $20k. I would have gladly bid $13k .

 

I'm not saying I would pay that for them loose...but that's what I value them at inside a nice example of a car.

Take a look at the variance in values for Porsche 964's and 993's that are equipped with the right seats.

 

If I were in your position, I would send an email to Thailand for this. Hard to beat this combo.

I’ve only seen RHD Ferraris in Thailand. Not sure how this LHD ended up there. Might not be desirable. You might get lucky .

 

It's nice but I want something either dark red or blue. Carbon seats a must pretty much.

No rosso corsa for me anymore.

 

Serviced / sorted and no stories I'd expect to be closer to 100 with a low mile final year manual spider.

4800 miles in 24 years?

what a waste. YOLO.

 

Gotta love the “Internet Special” nature of the price

 

I read comments like this often and they make no sense to me.

Many times these come out of a larger collection of cars, you can only drive so much.

 

Yeah I put about 4-500km on my cars a year. Even my daily drivers are fairly low mileage given their age.

 

People with higher mileage cars say this in my experience haha. The truth is everyone wants as low a mileage as possible when buying one depending on availability and budget. I see benefits of both moderate mileage cars and low mileage cars. No need to talk down either. Buy on condition, and enjoy it as you see fit.
