    It's not an "early" 95, so a few issues should have already been resolved, but it does have the dual fuel pumps and filters. Interior looks a tad rough, hard to tell because it's black, but the plastics will probably need to go to get a refinish. There does appear to be an aftermarket amplifier, which can cause some f***ery with the wiring, and no shots of the undercarriage make me nervous. The only real knock against it is not being red on tan. All comes down to personal preference, really.

    Left hand cam cover looks a little black. Oil leak?
    Damaged rear splitter?
    Looks like some serious leather shrinkage on the dash near the windscreen.
    Incomplete toolkit.
    Is the box in the front luggage compartment permanent? No luggage space?

    Did 95's have airbags? I thought that was part of the appeal of 95's (nicer looking wheel).

    Only in certain markets and not in the USDM cars Ian. Australia has the non airbag wheel only in the first 6 months approx of production before air bags were mandated. 2.7 cars have airbags after July 95 in AUDM cars.

    My 95 has the original PSR. No problems. I don't really know the source of the problem but two things come to mine. 1) Reservoir mounted too low so the cap hits the plastic cooling tank cover and doesn't really tighten on the reservoir. 2) Perhaps the cap cracks from bring over tightened and thus never correctly tightens afterwards. All I know is mine is 24 year sold and I've had the car for 6 years and never experienced any problem.

    But, for those who still have the old res and want to change, Rock Auto, 1989 325i.

    That's interesting. I've actually been watching this F355 on Ebay recently. They sell it there as well.
    Decided to visit the "Ferrari chat" and interestingly i found a thread just on this car.
    Im actually debating on purchasing this one by giving them an offer, but wanted to research on it, and get more info before doing so.

    What do you guys think would be a good offer??? My friend Elliott (restored-by-elliott) if anyone knows him, thinks 70K is fair. But says better to ask guys from the States cause Australia market is different.

    70k is a fair offer more or less.
