    I just read an article on the FCA website about a guy who bought a 330. He got in a wreck, and the car was out of commission for a year while scrounging for parts. As I look at 355's, that got me thinking that these cars are up to 11 years old, and maybe parts could be hard to come by. Even General Motors doesn't have some parts for cars this old. How does it look for the 355's?

    Thank you.

    Gobs of 355 parts. Can't think of a single item which is unavailable.

    .

    (ok, I lied. The flat headed interior switches from early cars are no longer available. They've all been superseded with rounded ones)

    Availability isn't the problem at all. Name just about any F355 item and I can have it at your door in 3 days or less.

    Never had a problem getting parts. Just expect to pay an average of 5 times what you are accustomed to paying for identical parts on a BMW, Mercedes or similar brand. With those kind of margins, the factory has plenty of incentive to continue to maintain parts availability. Tim
