    Hi All,

    I have decided to buy another F355GTS and regret selling mine back in 2010! I have seen a LHD red with black interior, manual with 36000kms, full ferrari service history, cambelts and service will be done prior to purchase. The car has 2 previous owners only and it in mint condition. Dealer is asking for £68k. I am in the UK.

    What do you guys think of the price? When I sold my car the market was down but now the prices have gone crazy!

    Also I have asked for a capristo , is this still the best exhaust to get for the car or are there better ones on the market now.

    Thanks in advance.

    what year is the car..? there are certainly.. price differences between regions.. but you'll be getting a fresh major which is good.

    regarding the exhaust... it is widely accepted that Capristo is the all around best exhaust for the 355.. when price is not an issue..
    to have a new Capristo landed in Canada.. would be easily $5500 or more after exchange, duties/taxes etc.. I simply cannot condone that..

    youre in the UK.. which I believe is where the Manufacturing plant for Nouvalari exhaust is situated..
    which I think is a balance between quality/price and still produce great sound on the 355.

    Sorry it is a 1995 model. The exhasut will set me back around £3k.

    Yeah I regret it big time. At that time I wasn't using the car at all hence I sold it but since then I always missed it as I had 3 different models since 1996.

    ok... so comparing the car to the USA market.. its a 1995 GTS with ~22,500miles.. at an asking price of ~$94,800USD..

    but that includes a full major done..

    in terms of USA market for a 1995 355GTS.. with major freshly done.. that is more or less within the average range.. maybe a touch on the high side for USA market..

    now given you are in the UK.. where I believe price averages for 355's are higher.. this car seems to be priced well for your region..

    I have given him a offer for £65k to include the exhaust and I am just waiting for an answer. Fingers crossed he will yes and I will be back in my dream car. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

    Yes LHD in the UK are worth less money. The same car in RHD would go for around £85 to £90k. I want a LHD as I find when driving to Europe they are much better. The car is coming through a friend who knows the owner of the car.
