    Hi Porsche guy,

    Yep I looked at it but its not black and its not a 6 speed... I am looking at this car but cant get a response from anyone on it or contact the buyer it seems. Not really bug on the NAV system but it looks like a pretty nice car. Love the wheels!

    Check it out maybe you know who or how I can get to it?

    Yeah I got that too. Kind of weird, cant seem to catch any breaks here. Even talking to a broker here in town and cant really get any response from there either.

    Is there not a 355 for me? :(

    In my 6 months of searching for a black GTS - I found a good car came on the market about once per month. If you watch all the boards every day you can act fast the next time you get the opportunity. The best ones go fast so find them the first day they are on the market.

    Car looks pretty clean to me but yeah I'm not a big fan of pimping out a car like this. It really is kind of insulting if you ask me. Exhaust and wheels are one thing but I wouldn't go any further than that!

    Hi Ken ! I have a 1999 355 F1 Spyder for sale in Kelowna, BC. Red with tan...in immaculate shape. It's not a Fiorano as you were looking for....but it does have the front and rear Fiorano sway bars installed....and it's already here in Canada...which saves you the hassle and substantial cost of importation and certification.

    email me at [email protected] for more information and photos.

    Hi Guys,

    I have looked at this one and indeed talked to the dealer but decided the interior was pretty rough...
    Since I made this decision though I have learned a little bit more about fixing the stickies and dash and that its relatively cheap. So that said I was thinking it may be worth checking out the mechanics of this car. Fixing the engine is quite a bit more expensive.

    INTMD8, If you have time I would very much appreciate your opinion on the car. Pictures would be great if they let you take some.

    FYI - I talked to my local Ferrari shop and I can fix all the stickies in my car for about $1500 so I agree the interior is the least of your worries. I wound find out more about the 30k service like who is doing it and what they will do. Sounds l like a great deal if you can specify the work being done and if its done by a good shop.

    I ran across www.penskecars.com the other day. No first hand knowledge or experience, but quite a few cars.

    Hi Guys,


    While my hunt continues for the 355 of my choice I have taken notice of a few choice 360's out there that are black/tan 6 speeds. As a result I have taken up to reading the plentiful posts regarding the 355 vs 360 debates. These are very tough decisions for me. I find both cars to be quite beautiful with different pluses going to either car.

    This is far more difficult (in a fun way of course) than I thought it was going to be.

    Thanks,

    Ken G

    I went through a similar debate before buying my 355 GTS. I got some good advice which is drive both cars. They are very different cars - that was smart advice.

    My story was pretty simple. I decided to buy a 308 - love the look of that car. The ferrari is a 4th car for me so I wanted to get something (relatively) inexpensive which wouldn't depreciate. After doing a bunch of research it was clear I should buy a QV 328. I found the right one - flew out there and didnt like driving it. My next favorite Ferrari is the 355 GTS but I decided to also drive a couple of 360's as well.

    I love the way the GTS looks where you get the lines of the coupe but the benefit of the convertible. That's part of the reason why I loved the 328 so much. I went and drove my GTS and fell in love with it on the spot. I think the 360 is a great car but it was (1) more than I wanted to spend and (2) I didnt like the styling as much. I did love how it drove :)

    Interesting. Well I will check them out... I have some cash as this is my first exotic so my bride is cool with "extending" the original number discussed. She just wants me to get my car...

    lovely wife. :)

    Didn't catch this until now. I can stop by there tomorrow if you're still interested in the car.

    Just make sure you get the right one and the one YOU want. Because the second one is going to be tooth and nail regardless how lovely wifey was previously. Ask me how do I know....

    Good luck hunting ;)
