expensive to maint...

 

well first of all you dont seem to know about the car scene here in india.

we have like 8 F430's, 6 Lp640's, 15 gallardo's + SL's, 2 Drophead coupes, 5 aston martins, over 300 porsches, 10 Sl500's + 55 + 65's.. 4 R8's and 700 S classes besides another 200 7 series and 30 bentleys..

We've moved on from 'Tata' and if i want to get a 355 seviced i have many places to go today.

As far as service is concerned you are right. A friend of mine owns a 348GTB and has been suggesting me to go not before a 360. he has to get some parts from london sometimes and ground clearance is VERY LOW !!!

so as much as i love the car its going to be a big pain in the *** to maintain it..

Thanks anyways,
cheers

 

Whats up with getting Ferrari parts from London, the independent non dealer Ferrari service garages get their parts from there.

 

youre counting this cars but india is a country with a billion people so those are VERYVERY minor numbers, i think(im pretty sure) we have here a lot more pieces of each model you are naming and we have only 10million people
not to bash india or something

 

hows the import duty structure by the way ??

 

one of the best looking and sounding imo, however they are maintenance hogs from what I hear.

 

import taxes i dont know a base carrera S costs about 95000euro,lambo lp 640 260000euro,430coupe 158000 euro,bentley cgt 181000euro

 

I love 355's

 

i have a 355 spider and a challenge stradale, i swear i think i like my 355 better, believe it or not. but maintainence wise, the 355 is a nightmare.
but my goodness when they are working correctly, it just has to be one of the most pure driving cars ever!

 

Yeah, that was the first hot Ferrari I remember after the Testa. I got my first ride in a yellow one, it was legit

 

i think they're worth every bit of exaggeration about their maint cost found on the internet
wouldn't trade mine in for any modern F-car except the 575M for the V12 motor

true joy to drive, and literally takes your mind off things

 

one of the best ferrari has made...it truly stands up to the name of a ferrari

 

Too outdated...and still carrys a heavy price tag for maintenance. Not worth it in my opinion.

 

Spider is one of my favorite cars all time. Absolutely beautiful automobile.

 

Of the cars I own it is the best sounding and gets the most attention when someone is in the garage.

My daughter justs loves going to my parent's house - just north of downtown Los Angeles three consecutive long tunnels. She yells "weeeee" between tunnels.
