    Selling my black/black three-pedal F355 Berlinetta after four years of ownership. I am third owner -- sold new at Foreign Cars Italia -- optioned with red brake calipers, cross-drilled brake rotors, challenge grill and leather headliner. Neurotically maintained (leatherique annually on seats, hand washed and waxed only by me), annuals done by the Collection and Tim Stanford. Car has had two majors in the past 9 years, the last one done in January, 2012 at 3,073 miles. Odometer now at 5,800 miles, clean car fax, no accidents. Have maintenance records, books, all covers, keys, remotes, tool kit, etc., and a photocopy of original window sticker. Included with this sale is a second set of wheels with like-new Toyo tires. Great car, but I just do not drive it enough, so its time to move on. Asking $125,000 obo. Have around 50 really nice photos that I will send to any who request.

    That's an amazing example. I'm sure an auction house would love to sell this for you. Might even set some new records.

    Best of luck with the sale. As I recall, you listed it briefly late last year and decided to change your mind.

    Wow, this sounds like a great 355.

    John, would you mind sending me the photos you have? I'll send you a quick PM now with my email.

    If I had room for a 3rd...

    wow. awesome. I agree, I think $125K might be conservative given the overall condition.

    I think your car will set the market for the pristine example end of the market.

    Full disclosure - I'm biased, as I have a 99 355GTB 6 speed, same options, Pozzi over Bordeaux/Blue, 4200 miles and impeccably serviced and maintained. Just a super car. I am not looking to sell, but am very curious as to what the market for a car like this (yours) will bear. I've had a few unsolicited offers well above $125K; never chased them down to see what was real, but take as input.

    That nice, maintained 2200mile 328GTB just pulled $200K at Monterey...so perfect examples are commanding interesting demand

    Please keep us posted.

    Thanks for all the kind words. The car is really beautiful and I will send additional photos to anyone seriously interested. Pricing is guesswork on a car like this. There have been some very high asking prices but hopefully my pricing is realistic.

    It runs very strong and I hope someone buys it who will drive it way more than I have.

    Have you placed an ad in the classifieds?

    If not, that should help your exposure.

    Best advice. Should ask a mod to move this thread. Also John, I highly suggest to load more photos to a photo share site and post a link. Be sure the photos are fresh too (not from months or years ago)

    GLWS.

    I'm interested, but I'm new to the forum and don't see how to private message you. Could you private message me?

    I was told yesterday that it didn't sell at the time and the seller may still be looking to sell.
