1995 355 30k miles - how much would be a great deal

ALL issues??? valve guides, headers, sticky pieces, airbag cover, bolster, melting lights/grill, new cats, potentiometer, speedometer, leather shrinkage, engine bay fire recall etc?

i'd say anything under $75k would be an amazing deal

 

lol If all that is done, it will be a good 95 car.

 

Well, its a 1995, so you've already selected the loudest and most powerful of the crop. I'll side with Mastercard and say they're priceless.

 

If everything is done.... I agree completely !

 

This is almost purely hypothetical, when I was looking I didn't see any cars with ALL those things done! Obviously they are out there...but if the owners love them enough to take care of all that stuff I don't see why they'd want to sell

 

Makes good sense

 

Does that mean I should keep mine forever ???

That thought has crossed my mind............... !!!

I have "yet" to ride or drive in a 355 that runs better than mine ...........................well at least out of the 10 or so I've been in !!

This one looks like a great deal. I've called about it and they claim all work has been done. I might go check it out tomorrow.

 

Very nice color---Rossa Monza

 

Looked at this Ferrari. Couple of years ago spun a bearing. Smashed windshield. Not sure about the quality of repair. Owner could not afford bill. Repossessed by insurance under a mechanic's lien I believe. Lot of stories come with this car!

 

Just proves once again YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. There are no deals in Ferrari land, you will have to pay up for a well sorted well loved car, the cheap ones ALL have issues and stories.

 

agreed, get the best car you can afford and it will still have issues

 

I think he is referring to this one, if I am not mistaken.

It looks pretty nice, I am interested in this as well. I'd rather have Red/Tan and have it in CA, so I don't have to worry about shipping and smog/transfer out of state title etc.

Looks nice though.

Ebay Item: 160151145274 (If link doesn't work)

 

What parts are missing?

Maybe he'll throw in some Texas gals with the car.

 

I was referring to the above referenced Ferrari. Shame because it is a pretty car.

 

the ebay car looks like a steal to me:
records? check
valve guides? check
headers? check
belt service? check
potentiometer? check
airbag cover? check
no bubbling? check
bolster? not bad, cheap fix.

i'd like to know about the better deals that can be had

 

No kidding. Especially if he has all the documentation.

 

At those prices the 348 brotherhood should become the 355 brotherhood in no time flat !!!

 

I'd like to know where you're going to get a better deal than that. I doubt it. This car would seem to meet all your requirements, (and they are tight). If you're a real buyer, this is a good candidate; or are you just a tire kicker?

 

+10....
