Allan-Herbie Report post Posted June 14, 2011 Or do 50K F355's seem like a bad ass car for the money? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smash Boy Report post Posted June 14, 2011 For sound and looks you cannot go wrong, excellent deal. Pound for pound, probably the best Ferrari in those departments. Only real issue are the valve guides and making sure you don't get a massive headache car on your hands now that they are older.

eurofan Report post Posted June 14, 2011 Its a good price at 50K ........but what about the Service Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abolfaz Report post Posted June 14, 2011 Car has aged very well and still looks good. Change the dash bits, freshen up the service and you're good to go for cheap. These cheap 355's are putting a real hurting on the replica 355 market! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan-Herbie Report post Posted June 14, 2011 There are some $50k Porsches that would be much better bangs for the buck. I agreee.. A 94 3.6 Turbo... to name one.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan-Herbie Report post Posted June 15, 2011 Just been looking at cars that are a great value... Some examples: Ferrari 355 Lotus Esprit TTV8 Porsche 930 Slantnose, DP body, 94 3.6 ( these can get expensive) Early Diablo F/I Countach Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some examples: Ferrari 355 Lotus Esprit TTV8 Porsche 930 Slantnose, DP body, 94 3.6 ( these can get expensive) Early Diablo F/I Countach They are for sure, but there are such modern deals out there (and more coming next year as 09 warranties fall off) that it's tough to go "classic" right now instead of just waiting a bit and feasting on the depreciated remains of hitters like: 2007 997 TT 2009 GT-R 2009 ZR-1 2009 Vantage V8 4.7 All of which are either already in that $60-70k range right now (wholesale), or will be in the next 12 months. Definitely a great time to be on the hunt...TOO BAD YOU'VE ALREADY OWNED EVERYTHING. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you wanna go Countach you gotta go big or don't go at all, which IMO means euro spec and carbs. If you want an injected car of that era, get a TR.

Rather have an injected car with a few mods that blows the doors of a carbed car and is more reliable.. And I would make it look euro spec..

Definitely a great time to be on the hunt...TOO BAD YOU'VE ALREADY OWNED EVERYTHING. Can you substitute out the 997 TT for a GT2 or GT3? 996 era cars are ok so long as they are GT series. I don't see an 8.4 liter Viper on your list....is it holding value well or not a fan? Come to think of it, I don't recall Allan owning a Viper...

What do you think of the sound difference? I don't think there's a mod known to me that can take on carbs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin2772 Report post Posted June 15, 2011 Isnt one of the driving factors of the 355 being so cheap the fact that they require the 15G engine out every couple years or so? I do agree that they are fantastic looking cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
