How many miles are too many miles? 355

Stress less young grasshopper.

 

Welcome to Fchat btw.

 

You already got a great deal buying the car so don't expect to get top dollar for the car when you decide to sell it. So go out and drive the car and just take care of anything that breaks. Chances are that the car will be fine since the major services have already been done.

DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIVE........

 

You are lucky, you already bought a depreciated car...what's a few more miles over 50k? I'm at 40k, drive away and enjoy it!

 

Hi Tim. Welcome to Ferrarichat mate. Congrats on the new toy, these things are awesome aren’t they!

As for the miles on your car, my bet is you have managed to find yourself a very reliable 355, the more these things are used the better they become, provided they are well serviced, and it sounds like yours is well serviced. As "the Pap" said, less stress brother, more driving. Mine is used at every opportunity, it is well cared for and as yet has been as reliable as a Honda, I have an annual service coming up in the next few months and I think I will hit the miles before the 1 year is out.

Enjoy your car in good health buddy.

 

The black one with the 19" wheels and blacked-out taillites? If so I'm jealous.

 

Pics please Tim!!

 

Just normal maintenance every year or if you drive it then every 5000miles or so, and if it breaks then fix it, these things really are just a awesome CAR I would like to suggest you find a owners manual on eBay just to complete your car and some light reading, it's a good way to get to know your car, although it does state the obvious quite often

 

Low mileage cars scare me

 

There are always those who border on 'packrats', count every single bean as if it were the last and wear the same underwear for a week, with a drawer full of packaged new ones.....

Money is for spending and f-cars are for driving/enjoying ! Take a deep breath, count your blessings, maintain the 355 and don't let the 'killjoys' tell you how to live !!! We don't know how long we will be here and life goes by quick. Every day that passes is one day less that we will exist on this awesome planet. So smell the roses, complement the women, spend time with family/friends and do the things that will make you happy .

 

Loved that Oz!! Brought a big smile to my dial!!

You're a champ buddy!!

 

+355

Very well said!

 

Speak for the mortals----Us immortals will be here for many centuries to come!!!! I am 367 years old by last count!!!

 

I was thinking the same thing--Wonder if it is that car--I saw it in person in Richmond last September...

 

That finally explains the avatar.....

 

It is just getting broken in. Go enjoy the car.It was built to drive, not stare at in the garage and wonder what it is like to drive. Congrats!

 

If you don't mind, Tim, could you fill us in on the "Airborne RANGER" nic?

 

Relax brother, sounds like you have got yourself a nice car, if Robbie likes it then it must be spot on.

Post up the photo's from the dealership......NOW!!!!

 

Absolutely! I'd much rather have a Ferrari WEAR out instead of ROTTING out!

 

Just to note, my "cross 70k mark" is in KM not miles. However, I will bring her to cross 70k Mile sooner than you think !!.. Well as many said, just drive the car and service every now and then. To begin with, we all bought into F car not because we want to be sensible!! Its definetly more expensive than most of the car out there but com'on.. go down the tunnel, wind down the window and bring the NOISE!!!.

Funny thing is after driving the car for 2 yrs and put on 20k KM on her, I was offer 10% higher in price (note that I live in Singapore where cars has enormous tax on it and there are only 6-7 units of 355 left here) obviously, Im not selling !!
