    I am sorry to ask this but why do you put a 13 thousand dollar sound system in a Ferrari? Isn't that like buying a pizza and eating the box?Anyhow enjoy!!!

    Since my car is a Canadian car does that detract Americans from wanting to buy it? I know that in Canada the bumper requirements are more strict etc. so I would think that if a car was going South versus North it would be easier?

    Drew, As someone who was in the market, I would be less likely to look at your car because of the import aspect. You could rectify this by researching the import/export details and adding it to your listing. Note: California has more stringent emission restrictions (I know nothing about them), but again researching and detailing what's required would provide reassurance to the buyer. Looks great. Good luck.

    Just curious - Why the new interior?

    GLWS. $60k sounds like s great price, though I don't know what it would cost to import.

    Why the new interior? I keep asking myself that question. The guy at my local Ferrari dealership said to me that I would never be able to order a factory interior again. I just sold a company that I had and was blowing money stupidly at the time (regrettably).

    I just finished polishing it and got to take it for a nice top down drive wearing only a t-shirt today. Made me almost want to keep it. I will definitely miss it.

    $60K US is an absolute STEAL if the car had an extensive (if needed) major at some point, especially if the car is flawless or near flawless otherwise. If the currently installed interior is still decent the new owner could restore it and sell the NIB interior for a healthy chunk of change. Because it's tan the market is going to be pretty big world wide.

    Your car looks great Drew, GLWS! Should move quickly.

    Something like 4,000 kms ago and 3.5 years. Clutch and bearing were done then also. $20K spent in the past 12 months. Too much new everything too list. The major would be new cats (both sides) $7K.

    Everyone selling a car seems to use the word "Flawless". This car truly is the real definition of flawless. When I take it to my local dealer the staff and customers always comment that the paint is nicer than all of the 458's there.

    Attn: possible Canadian buyers: Our dollar just a hit a new four year low just below $0.89 this morning. A US car will cost you 10% more just on the dollar alone. Now you have to ship it at a cost of anywhere between $2,500 - $5,000. When you get to Canada you need to change the speedometer gauge ($5,000 with labour etc.) and have it safety checked ($2,500) minimum. You used to have to change the bumpers to meet the more stringent 10k CDN bumper standards.

    So add another $15,000+++ minimum to the cost of the car not including your travel expenses etc. $50K US beater or pure flawless perfection. You decide?

    more pics and close up shots will help.....F355 cars in "real good" condition are hard to find that are also well maintained.....history if first or 50th owner makes a difference for the serious lookers..........very good price if indeed a clean car....good luck with the sale. Not sure what you will be replacing it with ....but I am sure you will miss it as no other car sounds like it.

    Ummmmm, new factory interior? And the reason no one has bought this yet is....

    No clue. Really beautiful car with lots of extras. The NIB interior would be great to see in pictures for potential car buyers (or for someone who wants the interior separately).

    355's are bar-none the perfect combo of old-school feel and "close-to" modern performance. Never again will a car like the 355 be made.

    Agreed, this price is crazy low for such a car if it is as represented.

    As of today. I've had three different potential buyers look at it and still say that they want to buy it. One is apparently paying for an inspection at our local F car dealer. It is available until I have a check in my hand.
