Yeah, that seems extremely fair priced and I would pay the ask at that mileage. I think it is cheap! Robb it is not blue, but you should buy that, seriously. A 1995 GTS, Classiche certified, YES PLEASE! Wish I could trade for it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Image Unavailable, Please Login BaT someone missed this one, surprised it did not sell at $47,500. Maybe $50,000 would have done it. 1996 yellow GTS with a 6 speed manual. Plus positive parts........ Fabspeed headers and cats Tubi exhaust Capristo bypass Lightweight flywheel and clutch 18” challenge wheels and grill New pads front New tires rear Minus items........ No details on the wreck part, seems to be something minor on the front bumper ......and needs a major engine out belt service But seems to me that for less then $60,000 (Adding in the belt service here) you could have a nice GTS to drive.
It all depends on how severe the accident was and how it was fixed. It could be a concours restoration with OE metal fix, or it could be that mess that BRADAN is fixing to BE correct that was previously cardboard and expanding foam. sjd
Yeah those black wheels look horrible. As odd as it sounds, I bet that impacted the sale price and not hitting reserve.
Weirdly, I like some white cars over black or deep charcoal wheels (in particular the Model S seems to pull it off), but basically no other color. And they've never looked right to me on a 355.
Agree ...... This car just looks better with these on it. Seller did give the option of either set. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Black wheels looked terrible. Last two 355 sales on BaT were unusual. This was more like the standard Ferrari BaT experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
In case you haven't seen it, BaT does chart their sales in a somewhat useful scatter plot format: https://bringatrailer.com/ferrari/f355/ They've only had two listings of any kind crest $80K, and one of those didn't meet reserve (a Challenge, natch). Teens-mileage six-speed '95s appear to have performed best recently. The discussions within each auction do manage to touch all the classic maintenance third rails (valve guides, headers, engine-out interval blah blah) so it's not an entirely ignorant market. Frankly it's probably the most public and transparent aggregation of market value any of us has seen, albeit with a very very limited sample size. I'd like to think my own ~41K '95 six-speed GTB will sell north of 80K someday, but I'm not sure how far out "someday" will need to be to hit that number. Meanwhile? I'll keep working toward 42K miles with that howling symphony going on behind me.
The 30 year mark starts in 7 years. So 2025 should start the sweet spot. On another bright note, the emissions testing will become a thing of the past for most states staring in another 2 years (25). At that point, the CELs can be forgotten.
Nice car for a very good price: 20K mile 99 spider F1. Well sorted, sold for 61.5K https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1999-ferrari-f355-spider-8/
My F1 just went on BaT for $60. The market is steady. Lots of love in the comments--one of the most active BaT comment threads I've ever seen TBH. But in the end, not that many people are looking for F355s, especially F1s.
What if we live in an emission free state? I removed my cats a couple years ago, never had any CEL but plenty of SDL. Even after changine ECUs I still get an occasional sdl even on a cold start. Must be a broken wire somewhere as I have bench tested all the parts. At least I dont have to smog my car. But I do get raped on license plates. $600 bucks and I can only drive it 5 months if I'm lucky.
Yeah just my states way of sticking it to ya. I dont pay propertytaxes on my car like some states but they do base the yearly tag on the msrp of the car and not how much it actually uses the roads
Let's see where Fiorano #60 lands. (unique, black-over-red F1). https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1999-ferrari-f355-spider-9/
I'm not at liberty to post details but I can tell you an F1 (pristine example) recently changed hands for numbers that are likely near gated sales records. Don't for a second think F1 buyers are not out there. It's the quality of the car that drives the market. I personally feel the buyer made a very wise decision buying the pristine F1. The day is not all that far away when the 355 F1 becomes a historic car.
Could also be like a Betamax---the technology moved on and no one wants to break out the old VCR anymore.
Well the truth is a properly running 355 F1 is a pretty radical car. I know because I own one and it's nothing short of mind blowing
+1 I have other three pedal cars to drive. Many 355 buyers are not a "one sports car" family. Adding different variants is part of the acquisition process. Let's not forget, there are far fewer F1 cars than 3 pedal ones.
