During my ownership the car has been serviced at Lucent motors in West Los Angeles, F & M Motorsports in West Los Angeles and at Blackhorse Motors in West Los Angeles.

Three prior owners, CARFAX report shows damage report in October 2007 (owner one, no structural damage, no airbag deployment, no total loss).

The F355 is a wonderfully proportioned 2 seater with the old school open cockpit that welcomes your passenger to be part of the driving experience rather than isolating him/her. The car is visually stunning inside and out, though not a concours car (74k miles) it is in excellent driver shape. The black paint accentuates the beautiful design lines. All functions perform as required, the car handles like it should- a dream, the shifting is smooth and precise as you go through the gates, as it accelerates beyond 5,000 rpms the sound emanating through the fabspeed headers and Tubi muffler is symphonic and when you need to slow down the braking system is solid. If you are in the market for a 355 spider you know what the potential for fun is! If you drive this example you will know how that potential has been reached and you will enjoy every moment with a big smile on your face. Car is located in West Los Angeles. $ 97,500.
