Which 355 to buy?

[201CHY]

Dear Gents,

I am looking to take the plunge and get a 355. Likely to keep for 2-3 years but a bit confused about which car to go for. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It has been a dream car for me and want to try as best as possible that I get the right car.

My head is saying this car for the reason that it is offered by an authorised dealer, would have a Ferrari warranty, serviced, and due to it having 32000 miles on the clock it has been driven rather than kept as a garage queen. Hence likely to be a better maintained car. Also since it is priced in an around where the market seems to have the most available options when it does come to sell, the hit, it any, I take would be in line with other cars.


The second option is this car:

I do want the car to feel as "new" as possible but then the very low miles (4500) also concern me as tempting as that is, it has hardly been driven and may have some issues lurking due to lack of being used. Electrics etc. And being the highest priced car, when it did come to sell, I'd have a much smaller target market who would be prepared to pay over the odds.

Thank you for reading

Thank you so much for all your comments.

Have to go with an F1 box as much as I'd like the manual due to the better half putting her foot down. She can only drive autos and if this is going to happen she wants to be able to drive it as well.

Car at JCT600 was lovely. Dealer was also very patient with all my many questions. However, and this is my personal opinion, I have now shifted away from thinking that the car should be red and actually think it looks less aged in a darker colour- so that is where the search goes.

All comments from enthusiasts above have been greatly appreciated and I will keep All posted on how the search continues.
