    Ok , so I have wanted a Ferrari since I was a kid . Not a flashy guy but would like to get
    one that I would drive once a week or so in the $40K range. My main concern is the Maintenance of course. Have beeen looking for a while now and have come across a 92
    348 w/ 19K miles that just had $14k of documented service in the last yr. my worry is that
    I obviously never want a repair bill like that and if I have it checked out as the owner has no problem with, is it possible to maintain one of these vehicles without maqjor repairs ?
    I know that is a loaded ? but I am asking in by and large terms, I understand this is not
    a corolla but just dont want to make a big mistake. BTW- going for 39k. thanks

    Roy,

    As Jimmie said, do your home work. Have a PPI (Pre-Purchase Inspection) done. And if there are no major issues, go for it!

    It may well be that the $14K just spent on it took care of the major items, and $39K is an excellent price for a well-sorted car.
