    Be sure to check service records. No records equals no service. Cam belts need to be changed regardless of milage,simply due to age. Also see if the exhaust manifolds have been updated under warrenty. The originals can crack,due to a poor design. My 97 Spider had this happen. Ferrari replaced both of them at no cost with an updated version. I'm glad because they are about $2500 each. 355's also have a problem of "cooking" their cats. I had to replace one. I've got about 26k on mine, and overall it's been pretty reliable. Other than the above problems, only very minor problems have occured.
