    After a lot of thought I had to go with the 355 spider. Haven't had a convertible before and I just liked the look more. The car looks lower and I did want the open car experience. Its red/ black. The car was too nice to pass up. It has 12,000 miles, service just completed before sale by the Ferrari dealership, high flow cats just installed by prior owner, clear bra new stereo, new tires and I even talked them into installing a Capristo exhaust, paid 67,900 and they gave me what I paid for my Corvette in trade!!! I think it was a great deal because this car is flawless. No tears, dings or anything. I took the forums advice and bought a well maintained one owner car and paid a little more. The owner had just traded it in on a 430 spider. Woohoo. Pictures to follow!!!!

    Congratulations. You'll love driving your 355.
    Red/black is a great color combo. Enjoy it.

    Wow, that sounds like a sweet ride, and yes as these experts say to pay for a well maintained car is the smart move!!! that's the same color combo of a 355 convert I rented in Vegas a couple of years ago, and that thrill still has not worn off! again Congrats Otter

    Did you buy from Ferrari of Tampa? Visited Tampa area 4 weeks ago and went to the new Dealership. Looks promising as to good service and very nice people. Moving back approx. 1 yr.

    Getting pictures out of you is like "pulling teeth" !! :)

    Sorry Doc, that was the first thing I thought of as I read all the posts requesting pictures.

    Drive her in the best of health.

    Cheers,

    Hank
