1996 with 19,000 miles. Color is Rosso Corsa, Tan leather interior. Full maintenance records, and recent $20K engine rebuild to fix valve guide and exhaust manifold issues.
Asking only $74,900. I'm in the OC area if any serious buyers want to check it out.

Thanks.

I have no idea. This model came out in 95, but the 348 before it looked similar with strakes on the doors.

Well a bunch of people have viewed this, but are saying nothing.
Bottom line price is $75,000. It's a great deal, you know you want it!

Haha, no way. Bring a check or a metal briefcase. Come on, it's pretty much the same price as a Benz or Bimmer sedan. Nothing out of this world.

yea but its maintenance costs are double that of a BMW or Benz.

Truthfully, they come out to about triple the price, and unfortunately are needed about twice as often. So 6x the cost.
But it's kinda hard to rack up the miles anyways, even if one wanted to drive it a lot. There are a lot of places/situations where it couldn't be taken reasonably. Service is generally needed only every couple of years.

Couple interested buyers. Will see what happens, and just figured i'd post it FS here just in case. Ya never know!

I can imagine how much simple things like tune ups and oil changes cost. I've seen price tags for porsches, I can imagine for Ferrari's. I need to get some farmland in Colombia ! :)

IMO, Porsche maintenance is relatively cheap. A lot of parts in common with VW's, and since they're mass produced finding parts is usually easy.
Same canno be said for these cars, but it's not all that bad. As long as nothing major or out of the ordinary is needed. Then, spread 'em!

It was such a nice So Cal day, figured i'd take the car out. Snapped a few pics if anyone is interested.
Price has also been adjusted for a quicker sale.

If only I could post a sound clip from my phone of 2nd gear through a tunnel! Sounded like i was being chased by an F1 car! Maybe Larrio will get some footage this weekend and post up.

Ask your bank! But I doubt they want to bother with payments of only $55/mo.

Hmm, interesting. Might be ok on that weak sauce car though.

Btw Alf, you meeting up with us on Sat? There was gonna be a PC Club, but they're fumigating for termites. Meeting somewhere around Arcadia now.
Might bring the Ferrari depending on where we go.

In case you need more reasons to pick it up: YouTube - Ferrari F355 Tribute Make sure the volume is up.

This thing is such a blast! The sound, probably my favorite thing about the car. Have the exhaust bypass permanently open, so even louder at low revs than stock. I can't stop driving through tunnels every chance I get and winding out the sweet V8 to 8,500 rpm!

Yeah, what a piece of crap city. People say there's a nice area, I fail to see it. There's only a less ghetto area around 2nd street.

Drove the F355 to Vegas on Wednesday. My quickest time ever! 265 miles in 2 hours 20 minutes! Average speed of like 115, and got up to about 180 nearly maxing out the revs in 6th. Felt very stable, and it was really interesting feeling the downforce increase at those speeds. Made the 3 hour drive to LA seem slow.

I made it to Vegas from SD in a little under 4 hours in my ws6. That's with a radar detector and a CB radio back in 97. I know if I tried something similar now, I would get thrown in the clink with Paris and her herpes.
