355 Buying Advice

Hi, I'm on the look out for a 355 and i would like some advice from you guys. What to do, what not to do. What to look out for, etc. My budget is around £40/42000. Is it always best to buy from a main dealer, or is private OK. I always assume that Ferrari's are looked after by there owners, or is this not always the case. What about the running cost of a 355, do i need very deep pockets.
Any advice would be grateful, thanks.

You might want to subscribe to the Ferrari Market Letter which has a complete library of buyer’s guides for many models including the 355. I used this when shopping for my first 355. It’s also a great reference for current sales, and has a history of the values last year and the year before. Also has some great articles and is well worth the cost.
