    J-specimports.ca has a couple ferraris listed. One of them appears to be an absolute steal, but i dont know much about them.

    348ts with 40,000km for $48,000CAD landed.


    there is also this koenig testarossa widebody with 1000hp for $304,000

    FWIW......You could build a brand new custom ordered 1,000 HP fully packaged "Evolution TR" direct from Koenig-Specials for less money......including a donor car which you could verify the history on........go to the Koenig website and price it out......you'd be responsible for locating a suitable donor car obviously (shouldn't be to hard....there's over 7,000 TR's around)......and round trip ocean shipping to Europe could be about $5K as well...........

    http://www.koenig-specials.com/

    $40K USD for a rough TR donor car
    $15K brakes, wheels, suspension
    $75K new engine and transaxle @ 1,000 HP
    $75K new body kit painted to your choice of colors
    $15K interior to your choice of colors

    $220K USD.....$258K CAD....more or less.....but "brand new" as can be and made to order as well......!! I would do it this way if I had the dough......I absolutely love this car.....ooovvveerrrr the top in every respect and can back it up.

    This used car for sale is worth only about 50% of the new ones price (using the commonly accepted "you pay 1/2 the cost of a restoration and get the car for free theory" when buying cars in the auction world).....roughly $130K CAD versus the $300K being asked.......no more IMHO.

    i was more concerned with the 348. seems like one hell of a price.
    the koenig is way overpriced im sure. but there really isnt many of these kicken around anywhere so i thought i would throw it in.

    Careful folks!!! I was just informed today that RIV has put the kibosh on importing Ferrari's into the country. You can no longer bring in 355, 348, or 512TR's until they are 15 years old. The Canadian spec bumpers are no longer available for the 355..and even if they they were, the car will not be allowed into the country.

    I'm still waiting for confrimation on this. Oh..E-testing as of 2008 will be for cars as old as 25 years!!!
