Well look what just arrived...........

............................manual 6-speed baby!!!.....ultra rare in a Fiorano...... ....

........LOL....... ...............



Congratulations on the Fiorano Steve........and a big thanks to you, 285 & others for your great public service !!! We are indeed blessed to live in this awesome country of ours..... !!!!

 

There must be a reason they are so "rare."

 

In your search did you look at the one at Ferrari of Atlanta? If you did what did you think of it?

 

Awesome car. I am a Red & Tan man myself. But that car makes me lean towards the Dark Side........Black on Black......Congrats on the New Purchase!!!!

 

Congrats! Very nice!!

 

lol......... a possibility is,..... they must have sold most of the manual 6-speeds during the standard production run...... !!

Though all 355s are a testament to new ideas in a production, entry level, V8 f-car... ..... the first 6-speed (F1 or manual), the first 5 valve PC engine, the first bypass exhaust system, the highest horsepower per liter........ there has to be more...... ..... ......anyone??

 

I thought that looked like an Indiana temporary tag! That dealership is about 10 minutes from my house. Congrats!

 

Most expensive timing belt change?? Oh wait you're focusing on the good stuff, right?

 

very nice

 

Great choice !!!!!.......................and if you ever want to absolve yourself of it ..................

 

GUYS----Steve's car looks amazing in person!!!! Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Beautiful and a Fiorano 6-speed manual in Nero at that! Sweet. Can you say "Collector Car?"

 

first challenge grill, still one of the most loved ferraris even after 13 years

 

Living here, I have seen the one at FOA and it's absolutely beautiful. I assume you mean the blue one as I haven't seen another Fiorano there in a while. They've had it there for a while now. I haven't driven it however. It looks like a very very clean car. I can inquire more if you'd like.

 

Is that the same one that was left out in the snow, etc during last winter?? If it is the same I heard up close it is sorta nasty...Might be a different one I am thinking about from GA...

 

In the pics it looks great but their asking price ($117.9k) seems pretty close to 360 money. I keep watching the market and the FOA Fiorano seems like an ideal 355. I really like the color combo and the 6-speed. I don't think I'm ready to buy one yet because I haven't figured out how to modify my driveway slope to accomodate such a low car.

 

I don't know but don't think so. There's one at the local lamborghini dealership that has been left out for at least 7 months!!!! It looks horrible and i weep everytime I see it. The one at Ferrari of Atlanta looks pristine. Again, however, I haven't driven it. FOA is well-known for good customer service but they do like to haggle on price. If the price is too high, talk to them. I'm sure they'll work with you if it's reasonable.

 

Yeah, the driveway issue is tough!!! Put on some skid plates, pull up very slowly and sideways and curse everytime it scrapes!!!!

 

When I was looking for my house.... a steep driveway was a "dealbreaker" !!

 

Piss poor prior planning on my part. I didn't take future vehicle purchases into account.
