I've been looking to buy a F355 Coupe for awhile now, but I haven't seen any for sale, specifically in white.

If you know someone who has a white F355, please PM me.

Thanks in advance!!

 

F355 = $$$ for maintenance...


Here's one for sale, not white...

$$$ > 360 ?

Curious, a friend is looking 4 one.

 

I don't think I've ever seen one in white. That could be sweet . . .

 

such a hot car!!!

 

Yep, 355 costs more to maintain than a 360. No doubt.

 

There was a white 355 GTB on eBay a few weeks ago. It was a euro car, but white is a rare find.

 

Why are they more to maintain?

 

white 355 are very rare , here's one that recently sold on ebay

wow that white is so nice.

 

I believe that alot of maintenance is an engine out procedure? And the belts are rubber not chain?

 

Not the best performing or the most reliable, but IMO this car was the start of the modern Ferrari (aside from F40/F50). I think it's leagues above the 348. This car is so Ferrari. Love the 355.

 

Awesome F355!

Ferrari's realiability is a joke. Dont they test drive them for ~50 miles on a race track. But yet they still have problems. Nieghbor got a brand new 360 couple years ago and the oil pump failed at 95 miles. But dont get me wrong their performance is mind boggling but its a PITA paying $250k+ and its going to break-down on you. Im sure they just probably call it High Maintence.

 

Good luck. White is a very, shall we say, "turbulent resale" color in the USA. In fact, my dealer has done everything he could to convince me to NOT order my Scuderia in white. I think it would be hot as hell (I saw a white 2007 F430 in Frankfurt last year) looking at the resale numbers on new cars tells the story. And, while I agree that a white F355 is insanely hot I think I've seen 1 in this country. There are a few spiders floating around -- I seem to remember seeing quite a few white cars with red interiors -- but the coupe would be the holy grail... I myself had to settle for a black one.

As one of the last entirely hand-built models from Maranello, they can be a to twitchy to own. The valve guides and the b pillar mount points on the rear of the car can be costly repairs. Maintenance is not terrible on them if you use an authorized dealer -- the parts warranty alone will justify the slightly higher cost.

Spoken like a true Porsche fan! I'd not categorize any Ferrari I've owned as having mind boggling performance, but they are fun as HELL to drive on the street and the track. It's a very different ownership experience than a Porsche -- and has very different driving characteristics, obviously, so if it's a driving experience you want, then you have to deal with it.

On the maintenance front, I got my GT3, Carrera 4 Cabriolet, and F430 at roughly the same time -- and all three cars have roughly 5,000 miles on them... (Yes, even the F430). Both the GT3 and the F430 have had "problems" with the tire pressure monitoring system (which is to say, bad sensors and twitchy "warning lights".) Excluding what I'd call "racing costs" the F430 maintenance cost about $800 more than the others in the first 5,000 miles...

For the most part, the F430 has been just as reliable as the Porsches with one exception: The F1 pump needed to be adjusted after transporting the car to California from New York. Ferrari of Beverly Hills came and picked up the car, did the adjustment that afternoon and brought it back. No charge.

If you want to spend $250k and get a car that does not need to be maintained, buy a Nissan Pathfinder and send me $210k. I had a 1999 Pathfinder that I drove for 4 year and the only maintenance I did was to check the tire pressures. I put 35k miles a year on the thing and it was indestructible!

 

that's the car i was thinking of with the texas plates.
