    If I could afford it, I would trade my 84 308 gts for a 348. I really like the looks of the 348.

    didnt read any of the other responses to you, but my simple opinion would be DONT DO IT.
    sorry for offending all the 348 owners, but that was the worst car i ever owned, other than my '77 mgb from college.

    And mine has required nothing more than fluid changes (and de-stickifying interior trim pieces) in 3 yrs of ownership. Always starts, always smooth, no issues. Go figure. Of course that sound that you probably hear is me knocking furiously on wood as I write this.

    there are monday cars and there are wednesday cars. mine was either monday morning at 8am, or friday at 6pm, coz it was the biggest pos i ever bought. no hotstart, leaking roof, leaky wheels, rattles, noises etc. and it was stolen twice while i owned it, and then stolen again from the guy i sold it to - lucky him he got the insurance money !! it was cursed.

    Let's all post up everything bad we can think of that's happened to our cars, your cars, and cars we've heard about and see if we can make the values go to zero. Then none of us will need to have a care what we or others do!

    PS: Should I "upgrade" to a younger wife?

    My car has been GREAT over the last 6 yrs. :):)

    Only a broken pressure plate just after I got it that let me down. :):)

    Sounds like you had a bad run with your car Ross. :(:(
