F355 Market

FHP and carbon seats for me, as long as they're currently in similar condition. I don't really care about owners and miles, though, just current condition.

 

To me it's a no-brainer to buy the carbon seats/FHP car -- that is a special 355, and will surely maintain its value better than the other car, especially if you're going to rack up some miles.

 

Thanks for your views, definitely a help. Also good to know the roof still fits behind the carbon seats easily @ShineKen. Both U.K. RHD drive

 

If it’s the UK car, I’ve seen that one as well and it is probably worth checking to see if it really an FHP car vs simply having red calipers + drilled rotors. Easiest way to check is to look at the Bilstein damper ecu located in the passenger foot rest. It should indicate Fiorano Handling.


The black GTS with cf seats + FHP I recently saw is LHD.

 

@johnk... have you convinced the wife??

LOL, not that car. Not for a minute. You tell me why there are all those cracks in the hood under-liner? I don't believe this is an honest car. Shiny on the outside, .........

This is why you buy a car equipped with FHP. Because you’ll never piece together these individual parts. I can pretty much guarantee it.

I feel the newer Ferraris are lacking the finesse once seen in these F355. The underside of a F355 is far prettier and put together than this newer 488 Pista. The overspray on the underside could’ve been easily painted to match the black undertrays or even body colored matched. Looks tacky for a vehicle stretched to the limits of details.

Have you seen the undercoating splattered all over the wheel wells of the 355? My car has a few drips on the valve covers!

 

Really be interesting to see where the the Swaters Blue GTB on BAT ends up. I was interested in the car when it was on Autotrader.ca but looking at the pictures several time just shows so many questionable things that I thought,

Damn that is sexy time. I wonder if the red seats were ordered from new. Never seen just bordeaux seats without other parts of the interior being red.

 

Not original. Re-upholstered. No cavalino on head rest. Black leather back pocket.

 

You couldn’t spec cars this way in 95. Ferrari allowed more freedom towards the end of the model run.

This is a factory spec’d 550. But note, they are carbon seats.

This right here, should set a record.

Realistic price for a change.

 

That mold and mildewed interior though

 

That’s quite a statement coming from a man who has been the record stating anything above $60k for a 355 is unrealistic.

 

Comparative shopping. Old Yellow been on the market going on a year. Started at $350k at Miller Motors. Mr Black, since April.

And this one, over a year.

And there's a yellow 95 with 5k miles, price not listed, 100+ days.

 

After further review, there are a lot of issues with this one.

 

Glad it's not just me.

 

I truly don't understand a dealer that puts a car on BaT with visible mold on the interior. That is pretty insignificant mold, it would clean up easily. They really couldn't wipe down the leather with a warm soapy cloth? It's mind-boggling. You would't post a clapped-out Chevy with visible mold, but you put a Ferrari for sale like that? I'm tempted to contact the seller just to ask how that happened. What the thought process was. We're talking about 20 minutes of work to clean off the mold.

"Should we get a washcloth and wipe off this mold on the interior, or just put a moldy Ferrari up for sale?"
"How long we talking -- big job?"
"About 20 minutes."
"Forget it, too much work. Let's sell a moldy Ferrari. Can't lose."
