    The day has come to part with my 1997 Ferrari F355 6 speed Spider. I’ve owned the car for the past three and a half years and it’s time to let someone else enjoy her. Current mileage is 28,9XX, of which I put 2,000 on during my ownership. During my time with the car I’ve done my best to keep it maintained and have had the following work completed:

    New tires (Michelin Sport 4S)
    Painted magnesium wheels
    New motor mounts
    Replaced clutch master cylinder
    Replaced right side radiator and hoses
    Full engine out belt service on 7/21 + extensive additional maintenance
    New interstate battery
    Replaced both cats
    Replaced all four O2 sensors

    In addition to the records since I took ownership there is a copy of my pre-buy inspection as well as records of maintenance from previous owners. The window sticker from Ferrari Mill Valley is included as is the original tool kit and Ferrari car cover (there is one small hole in the cover).

    The car is ready to move on to the next chapter in its life. The title is clean and clear as is the CarFax. If I were to keep the car the only item I would address is a leaking oil line but aside from that she is ready to go.

    Price removed per request

    I have numerous detailed pictures as well as videos for serious potential buyers.

    Where is the car located? Is there a good phone number to reach you? I am looking to buy a 355. Is it original black paint? Any paintwork?

    I shot you a response to your message. I believe it's original paint but I can probably find a paint meter to borrow and confirm if you'd like. Let me know. Thanks!

    Why was the price removed? I thought all ads had to have price?

    Mods - What's up?

    Anyone remember what the price was, until it wasn't?

    To be completely fair. If that price isn’t back up, that’s total BS.

    As someone who has requested a price to be removed (BaT ******* about it). FChat says nope, not removing it.

    Long story on this. Mods have had a lot of back and forth internally when a user contacts us about removing an ad because they're going to BaT. BaT apparently asks for all ads to be removed before going live. Our policy here is not to delete ads. We have never had a user report that BaT refused to run their auction because of an ad here. So, we typically have refused these requests.

    About a month ago Rob told us we should experiment with this a little.

    Jeff asked me if I could delete the price on his ad. With Rob's suggestion that we experiment, I replied I would and I would change the tag to auction. I obviously forgot to change the tag to auction.

    My fault.
