    Ahhh I didn't look at the pics, I just went from the advert where it says 6spd manual next to transmission. My bad!
    I think its an ok price if you got it for about 85 or 90.
    Im out of the market now having finally bought something, but I still hold hopes of a manual F355B one day...

    Yeah but I gave up.

    Ended up spending about 1/3 and buying a 500hp 335i instead.
    355 =/= 335 same same, next closest thing - right?

    I know, quite amazing how the supply of early 308's has dried up so quickly. 308 QV's are also getting few and far between now.

    I still want to daily drive a 355, going flat broke sounds like a real possibility and good bye resale but who cares right.

    They are very easy and sensational to drive mate. You will have no trouble driving one as a daily driver.

    The only issue is more service costs than you would normally have for this car that would normally never get driven.

    A belt service 5 years and basic servicing inbetween is not really that bad. I mean, you're going to pull the engine every 5 years for the belts anyway, so racking the km's up on it will not be a problem.

    Don't worry about resale, you only live once and you never get the time back. So buy one, enjoy it as a daily driver and sell it when you get over it. If that ever happens.

    When I build my new garage (making it easier to get my Ferrari in and out) I will use my Ferrari as a daily driver when I don't have to take Nicole and the kids anywhere.

    I have it sitting in the driveway now as I took a school girl to her grad last week and haven't had the time to lock it back up in the garage.

    I am working day shifts at the moment, so I need the family hack to take the kids to Grandmas in the morning.

    But will drive the car over the weekend including Monday next week, and will drive it to work all next week when I am on night shifts.

    I will drive the car for a week straight.........................I don't think I have ever done that before. :eek:

    Sounds better than it looks. Sounds a bit old school, especially when it was on the track. Grunt. The sound on the down shift is brilliant and up shift is not too shabby either.
