    ffsh means FULL FERRARI SERVICE HISTORY
    hpi means IN THE UK YOU CAN PAY TO GET A REPORT ON THE HISTORY I.E. ACCIDENT DAMAGE, FINANCE, RIGHT OFF ETC

    I just purchased a 1990 348 TS about 2 months ago. I had a PPI done by a Ferrari technician. The seller and I then negotiated on fixing the issues uncovered during the PPI. It is a great car, but remember it is a Ferrari and it has it quirks, i.e. hot start problems, slow down lights, costly service. BUT IT WORTH IT!!!

    The 348 is generally pretty reliable and (relatively) inexpensive to fix the normal problem areas. If the car has been maintained properly and not beat up too much you should have a fine, fun car! Send a PM to Dale, he has alot of 348 knowledge.

    I like the TS. A few squeaks and drips is a small price to pay for the fun of open top driving in good weather. Do it.

    Miles? Is it just me, or the ones WITH some good miles seem to have less problems? If it has had regular use, chances are its on the road more then in the shop, but that may just be me, as a large number of F-car owners don't seem to think they are for driving :D
