JamieP Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Why worry mate? you wont keep it long enough to service it:d tbh i would not bother Stuart had a F355 (built on the same chasis as a 348 so i hear) and that cost him a fortune, rusted like hell aswell.

JamieP Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 He had the rear wings done twice and around the screen, bodyshop guy that looks after his dads Ferrari's said the metal on them is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chingy Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Don't know if this helps but 355 back in summer of 2006 was routine service £550+vat major service £990+vat. Cambelt to do a proper job is engine out £1250+vat, Clutch on F1 box £1000+vat Cat will cost £800+vat each side Oh and value guides £70 each they go around 30-40K and theres 40 of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 A pal has just had his 360 serviced and a few things done on it for 5K - not sure what they did for that amount of money though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Just decided i aint prepared to pay that kind of cost for a old car, may just borrow a real one to play in and buy a VERY nice kitcar. thanks for the help guys i never realised the upkeep was as high.

letmeshowyou Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'd imagine the person who test drove it was too busy looking where they were going to notice! I was impressed by how quick it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamanC Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yea they are quick enough, similar to bpu supe. Apparently the rusting is common on Ferrari's. Its a badge car, nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Mark at Phoenix and I were talking about Ferrari ownership a few weeks ago as I had almost purchased a 348 Spider, he told me the 348 was one of the worst cars he had worked on and they are forever going wrong, he did say the 355 was a huge improvement in build quality but they do suffer with rust, hence why so many of them are kept in better condition garages than my lounge !!
