I'm wanting to buy a F355 Spider and have no idea what maintenance they require or other headaches that may be involved.

Anyone here ever owned a Ferrari or have any experience with them?

I'm looking at this model... IN YELLOW

 

Wow, that is one of my most favorite Ferrari body styles ever. Absolute . I do not know about maintanence, but I would expect it to be relatively requent and costly.

However, I'm sure having such a car at your disposal would take those headaches away...Good luck, she's gorgeous.

 

Wow, talk about movin' up! Ocala will never be the same.

Ferrari's are basically street legal race cars, so they're not meant to be driven lots of miles, and maintenance is EXPENSIVE. Don't buy this car as a daily driver, but other than that, go for it!

 

I think Jimmy would be the man to ask about the ferrari stuff.

 

yeah go ask jimmy540i .. he has a 360

 

Not all of us can afford to build mansions I'm taking it one step at a time.

I'll try pm-ing Jimmy but I was really hoping for a Lexus owner/driver to give me thier opinion on the car.

Thanks u guys.

 

Braheem,
Jimmy also has a GS4 among is Farrari, 540i, and bike. He's loaded.

 

I'm not a Ferrari owner, however, I've read in one of the major automotive mags (I think car and driver) that the F355 has been the most reliable Ferrari. So I guess thats a good thing, but thats still just comparing it to other Ferrari models.

 

That's a pretty sweet looking car! Go for it on looks alone!

 

If one has to worry about reliability & maintainence cost for a Ferrari, then one probably can't afford it. They are very expensive toys for sure.

 

Oh, I forgot to mention...There's not much more that gets my blood going than a small-displacement V8. Sub-4-litre V8s are something to be treasured, and this car has one, of course.

You'll never be Schumacher, but having that makes it a helluva lot easier to pretend!!

 

I am glad that you asked this question, because I'm also intersted in the 355sp.
At first I was going to get an NSX sometime here soon, but I'm holding off till the newer model comes out.
After thinking about it I am also thinking about a used 355sp (black on black). It was cost as much as a new NSX. Hopefully some of your questions get answer and I too will know some of the information that I have been seeking.

 

Which one? I got 4 of them







J/K I wish!

 

Thanks for the concern, I just dont want it to get in the way of my retiring at 30.

BTW, I'm planning to pay cash for the car if it makes you feel any better.

 

i don't think u need 2 b rich or not rich 2 ask if a car is realiable....mayb he just wants 2 know whats he's getting into...theirs nothing wrong with that...
