    Been a while since I sold my '95 348 and '91 TR and looking to re-enter Ferrari ownership! Miss it badly. Looking to buy a 1999 f355 6 speed, Fiorano would be great but budget may not allow. Looking for a really well preserved car! Help!!! Have saved some cash and ready to move! Any and all leads really appreciated, Live in PA. Thanks!

    Rare bird. What body type? Fioranos at a price show up now and then.

    Like Bob said!

    Only 100 fioranos in the US. And there are less gated 6-speeds in '99 because of the move toward the F1 gearbox later in production

    You will have an easier time finding a gated spider for sale though. Let us know more.

    Looking for a Spider. Perfect world would be Red/Tan 6 speed Fiorano. Any idea what price range that would be, should I find one? Thanks so much!

    There is a beautiful 99 nero:beige f1 spider on eBay right now that I saw at cjf. 42k miles but can be had for under 50k

    Recent major, new tires.

    If by 6 speed you are referring to a 3 pedal car you might as well stop looking at Fiorano's. They are all F1's (although I vaguely remember reading that there might have been one 3 pedal made).

    Incorrect. I believe there were at least 10, if not a few more.

    Ok I stand corrected. Still, rarer than hen's teeth.

    Yes, trying to find 3 pedal. Sorry I wasn't more clear on that! I know it's a tough task to find one, but it's a long winter!

    Not a Fiorano and no affiliation, but looks to be one of the lowest mileage spiders I've seen in the market -- 1997 FERRARI F355 SPIDER

    Hey bjferrari,

    Check out the Motorwerke website in Kelowna B.C. and the F355 they are selling for Mr. Clift. It is by far the nicest I have seen, and with the strong U.S. dollar it might be worth considering. I'm in the market too, but I'm not big on the F1 transmission and that is what this car is fitted with. Good luck.

    Thanks!
    Beautiful car, but like you needs to be a manual. Plus other than Tubi , would prefer all stock. The guy certainly spent the $$$ to get it to his liking, and enjoyed it, based on the mileage.
