Welcome and congrats on making a great choice! You will find more information here about what to look for in a car than possibly anywhere else. Learn to use the search feature and you will find more information than you probably want!!

sure thing, more milage CAN mean that the PO kept her up to date with service and such. Most of the time just sitting in the garage can dry out rubber and other such material in places like the fuel system, which can lead to premature cracking.

Ask around you will get a lot of great advice on here!

PS. Welcome to the club!

 

Welcome and I hope you find a great 348 to purchase!

You should consider joining the Ferrari Club of America.

We have LOTS of active members in our "Northwest Region" and there are many Club events/activities every month.

Ferrari ownership is NOT required to join.

I would need to do a little work to my "antique" F-car before takin her to the track! Oil pressure on hard turns worries me. Are you involved in the Historics at PIR?

 

Welcome,
And do consider joining the Ferrari Club of America, we have a very active chapter here in Seattle. www.ferrariclub.com is our local website, with lot's more information.

Personally, I do not agree with the "more miles is good" statement....it is all about service history. Regardless of miles, if the services are performed on time, and parts replaced as recommended, the car will be a good runner. The "more miles" thing comes up, because a LOT of cars are "garage queens" that just sit and rot in a garage, and when you start them up and try to drive them, everything leaks and breaks. Higher mileage cars necessitate more service, so stuff tends to be well kept (but this is definitely NOT always the case/there are plenty of higher mileage cars that are neglected too).

Glad to see new enthusist!

Just turns out I am selling probally the cleanest 348 around for cheap cheap. Most guys on this board who have seen her can attest to the quality and the $$$$ I have put in her...huh guys???

Anyway I sent you a PM. Once again welcome,

Mike

 

I know the history, and the owner....it is going to be a GOOD DEAL for someone! Mega dollar loss for ol' "Big Mike"...

 

your telling me...hell Dave I think I must like to throw money away!!!
LOL

Welcome to the forum, NataSS.

Fancy seeing you over here.

 

Join the club (FCA) and your chances of getting someone to throw you the keys are a lot better! If for no other reason than just the law of averages!!

It has been known to happen on a few occasions. I watched one generous person give up the keys to his 360CS and it seems to me I saw a stranger driving a certain 612 around the track Saturday (also saw the same car doing a burnout on Sunday )

In the mean time buy Mike's car, doesn't seem like you could go wrong with it!

If you ever get to the West side of the Sound and want to check out an old, slow, beat-up 308, let me know.

Good to hear from another future Ferrari owner. If it's a 348 you want you definately can't go wrong with $$$=SPEED's (mike's) 348ts. I've personally seen it myself and its sweet. "Black and beautiful" as they say. Maint. records should speek for themselve's. Good luck in your search. Not coming to PIR for the Historic Races since you missed the ones at Pacific? This weekend ya know? Although the weather isn't cooperating much.

Cheers

Kurt
