Selling 996 TT to buy a Ferrari 348...am I mad?

[Spaceman2001]

There was a TS in the service dept at Graypaul this weekend.

Ultra low mileage. Red with the black side skirts which is the way I remember them from the Ferrari brochure when they were new. It looked amazing and such nice small proportions. Cool car with 300bhp. What's not to like?

If I wasn't using my 996 Turbo as an everyday runner I would happily swap it for a 348. Love the 355 too, but if you listen to you're head borrow another £15k and get a 360!

I can't comment on the car but mike at rardley is a good guy to deal with, as are TFC.

Just looked at the Rardley link, I don't like the 348 particularly but if you have decided you want one I doubt you will find better and as I said mike is a good guy to deal with.
Last time I looked they were 25k tops so holding up very well.

Are you sure thats a 1994? I thought late 1993 cars were badged a GTB and the badge on the back (and advert) seems to say TB. Also the rear wheels don't look like GTB geometry. Later 92 cars have better handling characterists and are more desirable

One of the best looking cars ever- but they are quite costly to run; mine used to cost about £700 a month as something always needed doing. That said I still loved it, I even stripped the engine down one Christmas just to give it all a clean!

I never ever got a negative comment when out in it - almost every outing ended up in a thumbs up from someone- be it a kid or an OAP. I took it to areas where I should have been worried to leave it and I'd come back to find people looking at it in admiration. Definitely a very different experience to my 911 or the business hire 430spyder I used to have which often result in verbal abuse or the goldblend hand shake.

Get it- you will love it!
