    Price looks about right for the car, but depends heavily on the state of service. You need to see records of when the last major belt maintenance was done, last clutch, etc. Also would need an independent PPI.

    Seems like a very reasonable price.

    This is a very good price for a 1999 with low miles IMO.

    I was looking for a Fiorano 355 but stumbled across this so was considering it, its funny I sold my 1999 355 about 8 months ago to a fellow F-chatter from Kuwait, but after looking at countless 575s and 360s, I've come back and want a 355 all over again, it is at the end of the day with its countless b*t*hy problems the ultimate V8 Ferrari of the last 30 years.

    So if anybody knows of a Fiorano stateside please do tell me.

    Price on this car seems reasonable. I have heard from the guys at MCI that this is one of the nicer F355s they have had in a while. I will going there the 31st to take delivery of my Fiorano which I just bought from them (sorry dude :) ). Let me know if there is anything I can do.

    I drove the 360 and the 360 CS, great cars both of them, really takes things to the next level but have none of the old world Italian Charm that seems so infused in pre 1999 Ferraris, with the Fiorano being the last of them (pop up lights, the old school guages, things not working properly :) and so on)

    The newer cars like the 575, 360, 430 are great cars to drive but something has been lost in the process..hope I'm making sense....

    S

    PS: Our Local dealer sold over 150 360s and 3 360CS's for a place with a population of 3 million. So you seem them very very often that has really diluted the sense of occasion that used to be case and has also reduced the wow factor with GEN X, Y and Z here.

    I'm a child of the 80s when Miami Vice, Magnum P.I and other great shows/movies instilled the sense of coolness and the wow factor when it came to Ferraris and other exotics) but I feel that is being lost now. Very Unfortunate.

    surprisingly good price, maybe. And they have that 92 tr at $134k....hmmmmm, one seems very high, other seems pretty good. Worth further investigation but I would have thought they'd open it at $89k-92k.

    He sold that 4 months ago... I drove John's 360 back in August when he had it. I don't think there is much of a difference between the 355 and 360 until you get up in the RPM range--the 360 pulls a little longer than the 355. I would sit beside a 360 in the quarter mile all day long...

    Have to remember that the 512TR is an ultra low milage example. Those cars are still getting top dollar. The 355 has no stories as far as I know. I had looked into it for a friend of mine who wants to trade his 328 for a 355. He would have gone for it, but wanted red. FWIW.

    That settles it then! I will refine my exhaust and intake to get that tiny bit extra, then it "should" be damn close to a 360 right???!!! :)
