    I have been searching for my first Ferrari for several months now. I have been a die hard BMW M fan since 96 but it is time to move on and I have decided that a Ferrari is the way to go. My question is where do I find a 355 that I can call my own. I have searched auto trader, E Bay and frankly am scared to put down this large amount of money sight unseen. I have negotiated for several cars and one the PPI found major issues and the second just does not feel right. I live in South Louisiana and I have not found anything within 500 miles. I want a nice car that will not need to be completly redone and it must be a standard, with either a Targa or a hard top. Where do I go?

    A perfect 6 spd berlinetta or GTS will be hard to locate. Take your time and keeping reading the forums.

    Bought my 355 sight unseen from 1500 miles away. Get a good PPI and you'll be fine.

    This is an exciting time for you!!!!!

    355!!!!!! :D

    All depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking at 348s you will be disapponted from a performance perspective as compared to late model BMW M cars. These cars don't shift like a BMW. They do, however, turn heads and are cool to drive. I got mine though Autotrader (went to look at it). There is another red one at Mitchellclassics.com that is reasonably priced, but it will need a major service on it. It is in Montgomery Alabama. If you are willing to throw some cash at a car I would get a 360.
