Help! - I'm considering buying my first Ferrari...

[BrendonJ]

After spending enough on the beemer in the last year to buy a nice place on the costa del sol for the local bmw mechanics, I thought if I'm spending that kind of money on repairs and maintenance I might as well be spending them on a Ferrari. So I am going to bite the bullet, and sell a kidney or whatever is neccessary to get my dream car.

I'm looking at a 355 spider 96/97.

Any tips as to what to watch out for.
I have read here that a tubi system sounds great but will it affect my resale value?
What sort of guarantee should I be try and get, an official Ferrari one (will I be able to get one for a 7 year old car?) (I will be buying it from foskers, kent high perf cars etc). oh yeah and does anyone know the diff between a formula and power warranty?
How often does the cambelt need replacing?

All comments/help greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
