Finally bought one

I have finally done it I have bought a late 348 TS!!!!

The car is exactly what I wanted……totally factory standard, full Ferrari main dealer service history, car only used in the dry, last owner owned the car over 10 years, etc. In fact after I put a deposit on the car and when I went to pick it up the last owner was going to give me my deposit back, because he didn’t want to sell it. He already had a 360 and the only reason he was selling the car was due to the fact he had just bought a F430 (getting delivered in Feb) and he needed the space. When I went to pick up the car he was considering extending his heated/air-con garage to keep the 348 and giving my deposit back. He didn’t advertise the car he got in touch with me through the Ferrari owners club website after I put a wanted advert on there. But his misses made him see sense in the end…..and I am glad he sold it to me. He was a very nice guy he took me for spin in his 360 and he also said if I am in his area he will give me a spin in his F430 when he gets it.

I knew this was the car for me as soon as I saw it!! It is one of the best I have seen!! It took me nearly a year to buy one and it is very true when most people say there aren’t many good ones left. But fortunately I found a very nice one.

The car went for PPI and the inspector said “Me and my engineer are really struggling to make comments on this car. The car is one of the best I have seen. If you don’t buy this one you won’t buy…..just buy it.”

I have had the car for couple of weeks….but I have been away on business and this is the first opportunity I have had to post on the site. I drove it back in the dry of course (the journey was about 300 miles) and the car drove perfect and it didn’t miss a beat.

I will post pictures when we get some good weather so I can take some pics!!

May I take this opportunity to thank everybody who have helped me and given me valuable advice on the forums and have taken their time to talk to me on the phone.

A Big Thank You To You All!!!
