    I personally own a 360, however my good friend is looking for a 348 or 355 and I am trying to help him understand the things to look out for when looking at 348's and 355's to be sure he is buying a "solid" car. I have somebody I trust locally to do the PPI, however while he is still in the "shopping" mode what should he be looking for, regarding problems you have seen with these models? Also if anybody knows of good 348's or 355's that somebody needs to part with let me know too or PM me. Thank you

    He could do worse than spend several hours reading this section - maybe even trying the 'search' function for any resultant specific queries

    Exactly. There is a lot of data here.

    Fundamentally both the 348 and 355 are strong cars. They have some known problem areas that need to be addressed. Get a comprehensivePPI done by someone who really knows these cars.

    Buy one with a decent service history.

    #1 thing is run a title search. #2 thing is buy title insurance. Exotics get hit with cloning crimes rather frequently.

    Mike. Check out my listing of my dads '99 TDF 355. If you or your good friend would like to see it I could get you and my father into talks. This car is flawless. :)
