Does anyone know this 355 spider at DC Motors?

Thanks for the info. How long was Ferrari covering guide problems on F355's? I would have assumed by 2005 any and all warranties would have lapsed.

 

Usually not past Warranty at all, but it was covered under "Goodwill" which has so many complexities behind the scenes one never knows how it was approved. A lot of screaming had to happen and I have suspicions it was ONLY because it was on a special model and so far past when they thought it would show up. Quite sure we lost or had to eat other Warranty work to make up for it though.

And Bob's post pretty much sums up the scenarios. Well said.

 

Just buy my 97 red/tan spider instead for $47k

 

This car just sold today

Looks like an awesome buy! Is the owner in FChat?

 

I don't know. I was trying to get some info from the seller and he told me. I don't know about recent services or anything other than what the ad says. One owner , 6400 miles. Ask was $64.

 

Sounds like the '95 is calling your name... I kid.

I do not know what causes the noise. I'm sure someone will chime in with an answer soon.

I have texted my mechanic.

There is nothing left of the steering wheel f1 or mechanically related. Is the radio off? I'm thinking whine from an audio issue with the tweeter behind the left air vent.

 

The only thing left of the steering wheel are two relays behind the carpet. One is a speaker relay for the blinkers...I think...I'd go look but my car is at Motion Products and not in the garage

Could it be a wheel bearing?

None-the-less, it sounds like an issue the seller should have noticed & corrected before you showed up.

 

Did you check out the 95 yet?

 

Bingo

 

One point for Dr Bob.

 

Oh just having fun. What else could it be?

I hope Gobble gets a good one at a great price. He certainly is serious about it.

 

Note from Jon and Andy - my mechanics.

"If it has aftermarket radio, sometimes you'll hear a whine through the speakers depending on how the guys installed the system."

 

"Typical. Ferrari electrical systems are very sensitive."

Excited for you! Stickies are no big fix.

Radio comes up on occasion here and ebay.

Enjoy it and do not worry.

Not so sure an OEM radio is all that great. I swapped in a nice Alpine Bluetooth radio in my car...but I pulled a really crappy aftermarket one out.

The original radio is nice, and if you find one great...but modern audio conveniences are nice too.

Having fun yet????

 

I understand you're looking at two different 355s here in California. To which serial number does that assembly number correspond? Is it 111913 at Smith Motorgroup or 103059 at DC Motors? I already have 103059 as having assembly number 19983, so this 29040 must match 111913. Can you confirm?
