    Fellow 355 enthusiasts. I am sure this isn't the first posting to hit the forum. But due to my recent divorce I have to find a buyer for my 98 355. Those that may be interested please send me a PM and we can discuss.

    Below are some initial details:

    98 355 Berlinetta:

    Mileage: 34K
    Major Service completed: 2008 (valve guides were done along with belts etc.)
    Color combo: Titanium Grigio/Bordeaux interior (recently recovered dash in black Alcantera)
    Service records: Complete and comprehensive service history including the original window sticker.

    To Note: Car has 19' DPE forged alluminum rims, I have the oringinal set with tires. I also have custom Recaro Daytona seats installed. I also have the original seats as well in great condition. Tubi Exhaust. In addition, I have a new McCarbon custom wheel with bordeaux stitching and suede/leather covering, it's also 31MM thick.

    That is a very pretty F355. Very tasteful mods/upgrades. Sorry about the circumstances but I hope you get full asking price for it...good luck.

    Hey Brad...Nice 355. I see your in Houston now. Good luck with the sale.

    Your old 348SS is doing just fine. First year was a major with some engine upgrades...second year was a gearbox to fix that bad 3rd synchro...this year was some minor cosmetic work inside and out. She's now "all that" and more. I'm driving the hell out of her. Up to 45K miles already and love every moment of it.

    Isn't this the car that was the subject of "One year with a Ferrari"? http://www.oneyearwithaferrari.com/

    I seem to recall someone bringing it to Texas, putting in the aftermarket seats, and didn't Global Motorcars of Houston have it for sale 1-1.5 years ago?

    My favorite color combo - Beautiful!

    The car looks fantastic! Best of luck with the sale - only wish I were in the market for one now, because I really like the colors and mods you made.

    Very sorry to hear about the divorce - always hard. I hope you'll be buying back another 355 sometime soon after to put a smile on your face ;)

    Love the car, bad timing to sell thought. I hope you get what you are expecting. I have been trying to sell my 348 and only getting the running around every single day for the last 2 months. Hope you are more fortunate then me.

    Gorgeous car, all it really needs is to be lowered slightly.

    Sorry to hear about the divorce, good luck selling it! :)

    According to the log, "One Year Ferrari," this car was tracked a lot. Not good Mav!

    Besides, I just don't understand why people don't include the price in these ads?

    FerrariChat should make this mandatory!

    Good luck with the sale. I still miss my 355. I felt it was more special than my 360. I do not know if it is the tint of the photos, but the interior looks more Red than Bordeaux.

    Yes, a Ferrari should *never* be *near* a racetrack! Garages are where they belong damnit! :D

    Seriously though... who cares if it spent a lot of time on a track? The current mechanical and cosmetic condition are *all* that matters.

    Would you rather have a car that spent 3000 mi rotting in a garage and needs $40,000 to set right, or a car that spent 10,000 mi on a track, passes a PPI with flying colors, and is in great shape with a solid service history?

    I dont see this as an "ad" but more of a testing the waters post. An ad would be in the classified section.

    Anyone who lists a price has the thread turn into a pissing contest where, no matter how low it is unless it is ridiculous, people make snide remarks about how insane they are to expect to get that.

    If the forum were going to enforce a "MUST POST PRICE" policy then they'd also need to enforce a "keep your opinion to your own threads" policy (other forums Im on have this - does wonders really)

    Love the colors and the seats! Sorry to hear that you have to sell. Maybe give her the house instead. :) Just kidding and good luck with the sale. Maybe this sale could be a test bed for or against the Forza article .
