    Yup. She's a six speed.

    All manuals, tools, etc. are intact. Dealer says it used to be owned by a doctor (here in Norcal). They don't seem to be interested in anyone taking a closer look, e.g. for a PPI so that's a dealbreaker right there.

    I know it's been discussed before in various other threads but how much is this particular Fiorano worth? The truth of the matter is, each car is unique in its value, from what I gather in those other threads.

    Dealer threw the number "$140K" at me, at which point I laughed. For that price I'd walk to the Lambo store and pick out a 2004 Gallardo for another 10G's (used, of course), and I know they have inventory! I told them they need to be closer to $100K to be in the ballpark. Is this out of line for a 1999 F355 Sypder, with the rare-for-a-Fiorano 6-speed transmission?

    Wow, $140k? Insane. Figure it needs a major, and the A/C, who knows? No PPI like you said, is a deal breaker....this car could potentially be a money pit, sounds like the seller thinks so too.

    $140k? That's way out of line for that car, even if it is a Fiorano with 6spd manual gearbox. They are smoking crack. Tell them, "good luck with that". If you're into yellow/black, car #19 at Cammisa Motors in CA is a 6spd and was being offered for around $100k (I think).

    Any pics of the grigio car?

    I love the Grigio Titanio, the New Grigio Silverstone, and TDF color. Sweet F355! I love seeing Ferraris during night times...

    I just bought Bart's 355 Fiorano from fcfl and the car is immacuate. He did a magnificent job maintaining the car. I traded in my red/black 1988 328 GTS (18,000 miles).

    Charles,

    Thank you so much for the comments about the cars condition. I am glad you are happy with it. It is the third Fcar I have owned and always pledged that I should deliver a car to the new owner the way I would want it delivered to me. So far an unbroken streak.

    You do not know how much fun is ahead of you though. I was by the shop right after you left on saturday and the car was still warm! It has the best sounding tubi I have ever heard on a 355.

    FYI, the car I replaced it with was the Rosso Corso 575M they had on the showroom. Do not hesitate to email with any questions about the fiorano, I love that car! Hope to see it again soon. Drive it like you stole it!

    Bart

    I will post the VIN number along with a photo when I pick the car up this weekend (rain permitting of course). If only you could hear the cacophony of those Tubis.

    Congratulations.

    But is "cacophony" really what you meant to say?

    ca·coph·o·ny:
    - Jarring, discordant sound; dissonance: heard a cacophony of horns during the traffic jam.
    - The use of harsh or discordant sounds in literary composition, as for poetic effect.

    Perhaps, the "sonerous wail" or "melodic harmony" might be a more apt description - ;)

    I bumped into another fiorano at The Ferrari Fall Festival this past Sunday...In fact my Fiorano was parked right next to this one for the concours judging. I met the owner, Dennis, from South Jersey...real nice guy. The car was beautiful...I believe it was TDF blue/saddle and I think it was either # 80 or 90 something. We both took platinum awards home. I am not sure if Dennis on Fchat...but I sent him this link.

    Cheers!

    hi everyone looking to purchase a 99 fiorano. Heres the thing. I have a passion for Ferrari' Big time. In paticular the fiorano. Many reasons. However, I have to cut out other fine things to be able to own one. I will not mind. Question. What do you people think about the value of this car say 10 to 15 years from now. I know there is a lot of depends, but in general lets say the economy stays at a somewhat healthy status. Being a limited #s car, do you feel it would be the best car for the buck.
    Correct me if I am wrong, but this car is relitively unnoticed, and I feel maybe it would be the right time to pick one up.
