Great Choice !!!
At this point you really really need to be in love with these cars to deal with the potential maintenance nightmares. When you buy a 348 or a 355 you are making a serious commitment. Its not like buying a Porsche.
Still looking for my 1st Ferrari, I personally like 348 due to the fact that no need to filter through automagic tranny (I know it's not automatic but I'm referring to F1 tranny) when looking through autotrader or other sale forums. j/k j/k
