Anybody know this San Diego area 348?

That's a steal for that car! especially in California with a major by a Ferrari dealer.
Jump on it before someone else does.

 

Haven't seen it, but with a $10,250 major service it probably runs well.

I like that it has new fuel lines, and I can tell you I don't see many of the 308/328/348 generation getting serviced at FM San Diego - so that speaks well of it.

If it's nearby and you want someone to eyeball it, drop me a PM.

 

If you really want to see what this car is made of it may be worth your while to spend a few bucks and have an expert check it out for you. Thats what I did on a number of cars and I am not sorry that I did. They found a number of issues on various cars I was interested in. I finally found what I wanted and its been sweet ever since. Give Chris Dugan a call. He is with Cavallo Motorsports located in Carlsbad. His number is 760.603.8321. His opinion will cover your *ss. Just a suggestion.

The car looks clean - although you didn't ask for comments

. the wheels are on the wrong side - an FNA dealer should know this (our local FNA dealer has screwed this up before with 348's too).
. the carbon fibre interior is a personal thing - doesn't add any value to many buyers.
. the stereo crap in the trunk is the same - is there a subwoofer and larger speakers hiding in that interior somewhere? Cutting up the interior for speakers is a negative imo.
. The chrome shifter ball is also a personal thing - I believe the factory ones were black
. looks like the drivers side wiper blade has been lowered - it was on mine too and is a good thing.
. looks like new P-Zero's, also a good thing.
. miles look real - I like that it's been driven and apparently taken care of.
. looks like there's a velcro snap missing on the back of the tonneau cover - should be three of them attached to the cover (I keep losing mine).

If the personal stuff is ok for you - it's worth investigating.

Warning: I don't believe you need to be reach to buy a 348, but can you handle a few $5k repair bills from a dealer? be ready if you sign the purchase agreement - even the best Fcar needs to be fixed every now and then.

 

The nice thing is that there are some very good shops here in San Diego to have a PPI done. Symbolic and Bobilief do very good work, and will steer you right.

The pictures seem to show a well cared for car and I like the interior upgrades. I checked the prices on upgrading my interior and it is not cheap to put in the carbon fiber replacements. Getting rid of the sticky plastic is a worthwhile effort.
The car is very reasonably priced, but there is no substitute for checking it out in person, or having a qualified mechanic do a PPI.
Good luck. The 348 Spider is a great car.

 

On the surface it looks like a good car at a reasonable price. If I was in the market to trade up from my TS, I'd be checking this one out.

Here's another 94 red/tan spyder on ebay for $52K. Wisconsin car. Not much useful info in the listing. Pictures aren't great either, but something to compare to...

Assuming no major issues, both are smoking deals. Those are priced in the ts range.
