    I am currently looking for my first ferrari. I am looking to buy in late november this year, my budget is approx £25,000. I have been looking at Ferrari 348's and i have seen a few examples that are LHD for this money. I would prefer to own a RHD version, would it be silly to think i could find a nice RHD 348 for £25K ?

    Any advice welcome.

    Prices are prices but this is a good place to start

    And I think the first RHD one on Autotrader for just over £ 20 and the next is £ 26 !

    I drove a LHD 348 at the start of the year. A gorgeous looking car and great sound ! not as much power as i was expecting, but i come from a japanese turbo background owning Subaru Type R, R33 GTR nissan skyline.

    I think the consensus is that reasonable RHD cars can be found in the 22-27k price range, your trump card is that you are looking to buy in November/December.
    You may find sellers negotiate more enthusiastically over the winter months.
    Good Luck.

    Plenty of independent dealers out there - if you need a list start a thread and I am sure you will be swamped with links etc. (in fact there may already be a dusty old thread in this section already)

    I like the 348's. Would probably be what i would go for given the chance.

    You should be able to source a decent 348 for that sort of money. Just keep your eyes open and have a good hunt around.
