    I’m drawn to the Mondial T body style. Why the disrespect for the vehicle?

    So buy one now while they’re down and have a blast with road trips. You want them to go up before you buy and enjoy? Odd sentiment for a first post with all the exclamation points!!! (We’ve had offers for double our buy-in for the 3.2 but that’s still less than a Jeep Wrangler)

    Not a robot . Actually in process of buying 1990 Mondial Have a local garage that can service it as needed. And this gives me a good reason to chuck all the kids crap stored in my garage all these years.

    The Mondial I’m looking at had a few warning lights with cold start. I have not bee able to find a dash cluster map to figure one of them out. Second from left on top. Straight line horizontally. I was able to identify the rest. Would appreciate any input

    All the way on the left...

    Sounds like, from your description, a shock absorber warning, #27.

    Can I suggest? If you're planning to spend that kind of money then insist on the seller providing you with an Owner's Manual.

    To me it's not so much as disrespect; it is that the design could have been better. If Ferrari had made the rear like the 308/328 it would have been a bigger hit. I know some would say that then it would just be a 308/328 convertible; but it would have been a better car nonetheless. :)

    Yes, looks like the Suspension Warning Light.

    Personally, I'd be vary wary of a Ferrari that isn't/wasn't maintained. Unless, of course, it's being offered at a very low price and you have good DIY skills. In other words, paying someone else to resolve all of a neglected car's issues can be really expensive.

    I've attached Section F (Suspension) of the Owner's Manual. Hope this helps.
