    Anyone have any info on this car: http://www.chequeredflag.com/inventory.aspx?_makef=Ferrari&_vstatus=3,4,5? Does price seem about right for year and condition? Buying guide that there is routine corrosion issues at the rear buttresses, anyone have experiences with this and treatment. Seems from what I read here, the GTS is a good compromise between the coupe/spyder and you get to avoid the issues potentiometers and pump in the spyder.

    Thanks;
    Al

    Hi Al - Welcome to Fchat! I'm not sure how reputable members here feel Chequered Flag has been, but you may want to do a search for them here to see what people say (see link at left of menu at the top). IMO, the GTS IS THE ONE TO HAVE. Very few for sale, because most people feel it's the most desirable 355. Seems like 90% of 355s for sale are Spiders, 9% are Berlinettas, and only about 1% are GTS's (My apologies to those who hate extraneous apostrophes :))

    If this car is as described, and a Pre-Purchase_Inspection proves it, this is an EXCELLENT buy!!!! If you look in to the car further, please post what you find. Best of Luck! :)

    Rick

    I've been watching this car for weeks, I really like the looks of it. Just add a challenge grill and a Tubi and it would be perfect!!

    so seller doesnt have any other records for the vehicle....That said, if it truly is a pretty clean car, what are some gut feelings on what may be a fair
    deal for the vehicle.
