    Hello all
    I have made a decision to finally purchase my dream car 355
    There are plenty of cars to choose from just trying to sort through all the details to find the right one for me
    I need to start a relationship with a good technician that can perform the ppi and necessary service after my purchase and hopefully offer a little guidance with my shopping
    I live in miami and have heard some horror stories from some of the shops around here
    Any advice is appreciated

    Except Tim will probably advise him against a 355.

    Welcome Gtiso !
    Tim will give you honest answers to your questions and will make sure the 355 is exactly what you want for the right reasons. He was instrumental in my quest for a 328.
    Enjoy your car !!

    If it's a well sorted car it should be fine. I don't know your budget or financial situation, but take a major service, it's an engine out and costs almost double what it does on a 308/328,
    which can be done without taking out. Then the 355's had some issues with the manifolds.
    I'd go to the 355 section and ask there. Either way, it is a beautiful car.

    I would call Christian at Blackhorse. I think Tim handles more of the classic ferrari's. Let him know that Robert with the red 360 recommended him. GREAT guy and very very honest !!! !!! !!!

    Tim will definitely work on 355's, after all it's an offshoot of the 348 with major upgrades.
    Once it gets to 360's and newer, then Tim will probably shy away from them due to all
    the computer stuff.
