    Same deal in the 348. :)

    I disconnected it once to see and it does drop the speedo/odometer out.

    I then went back and re-checked the (HUGE) service history my car has and I was glad to see every km was "accounted" for. :eek:

    I am just as slack as you guys, i've covered 7000 km in 6 yrs. :(

    sadly, I've been doing even less than that with the 355...it's becoming a garage queen.

    With all the money you invested in it lately and the condition it's currently in, I can understand. :)

    Check this thread out.

    The man has gone nuts restoring his 348. He posted yesterday that he is actually going to drive it..........................................on sunny days only. :D

    Yet another example of why it is always cheaper to pony up for the best example available in the first place rather than buy the "cheapest" one you can find.

    Yes, of course. Though even the "best" example available would probably not be up to the standard of this car. :)

    There are a few "new" 348s and 355s available for sale in the USA. They still are still asking their new car price.

    US$130K for a new 355 sounds good................if you live in Australia. BIG gorillas over there. Nice 430 money actually. :)

    One Fchatter has a black/black 355 with 800 miles on the clock. Plastic on the carpets still etc..etc. He is the 2nd owner from memory.

    Another Fchatter bought a "new" red/tan 355 Spider and has put around 2000 miles on it since last year.

    Possibly the only Ferrari owner in the world, yes. :D

    I recently bought and sold a 2003 Holden VY SS ute with 98,000 km on it. The speedo display was buggered, but you could just make out it had 9x,xxx kms on it, so I need to purchase a new one to sell the car with RW.

    I purchased a new cluster from Holden and had them both sent down to a guy in Melbourne who transferred over the 98,000 km onto the new speedo for me. Thought it would have been best to do it this, as opposed to just leaving the new "zero" km cluster in the car. Would have raised too many questions I thought, so I spent that extra $180 to have the km's put onto the new cluster, no worries. I was making a decent profit on selling the car anyway.

    And I was still questioned about it's low km's by potential buyers anyway. :D
