93 512TR vs 98 355 Spider
I want a convertible and love the 355 but a 512
is pretty exotic with the V12 and all. This will
be my first Ferrari what do the experts say?

Thanks

Nope I like the looks of the 355 way better than the 360 or 430. I know the 360 and 430 are better cars but it is the looks I am after.

Thanks!

msindi is infamous around these parts
355 - 512 too bulky and awkward for daily/city use...

I actually like both, but leaning more towards the 512.

If you buy a 512 as your first Ferrari, it will be your last. Stick with a 355 or newer. You should also consider a 550/575.

I second that! You can easily DD a 550... sounds like your kind of Ferrari budman!

Two totally different cars with totally different characteristics. What are the most important things to you? Convertible? Future value? Maintenance?

The 512TR is an awesome car and it's much rarer than a 355 Spider, but I would go with the 355. I think it's a much prettier car and it's a lot more practical.

If I get one it will be the F355 Spider in Red/Tan with 6 speed. That is what I have been dreaming of for a long time!

Get the 355, or keep the turbo and get a 328 and when you have the resources convert it to a 355. Selling the turbo would be a bad idea.
