Default 1997 Ferrari F355 Spider. $48K?!!

I found this on the Greensheet this morning! Pic's after the jump.

1997 Ferrari F355 Spider: 11,800 miles, 2 owners, books/ records, Black and tan. Immaculate! Value $77,400, sacrifice $48,000. (832)279-4839.

When a deal is too good to be true, it usually is. If you really wanna pursue it, I would recommend you do some serious homework on the car. Most people dont realize how expensive owning and maintaining these cars really is.

With that said, if your paying in the high $70k range, why not get a 360 Modena? Doesn't look as dated.

348s are cheaper than that I believe. It's the maintenance that kills. They need tune ups every 10 or 15k miles (if not sooner) and that bill is sky high.

If I had 48K to burn... I'd buy a pre-owned Inferno Orange Grand Sport. Not the spider.

It is interesting to see some of the Greensheet automotive ads. The F355 got my attention. I would like to see more Vett's/Camaro's and T/A's.

I see a few Ad's now and then. They move quick.
