Super cheap F355 for sale
Discussion
high miles wouldn't put me off at that price, worth more in parts surely?
Anyone know the car and how it got so many miles on it?

Cheapest F355 in the UK by far, maybe you guys could show me better examples elsewhere, EU for sale adds?
I have listened to a lot of Ferrari owners and those in the know, on more than one occasion was the rumour that most F355's are clocked, given their age and how many dealers and owners they have all had it's pretty hard to dispute, when I walked away from a £38k red F355 fiorano 3 years ago the owner thought I was mad to worry about mileage when there were dealers he new regularly performed the "time warp!" as part of the annual maintenance, yet he refused the offer and hence was selling it cheaper with genuine 68k miles, 3 years on I'd expect it to be umm at least 44k miles by now!! :-0
I should have purchase that car, Rosso/Crema, race sets, F1, RHD, massive service/receipts file, :-(

Already discussed on a thread that was a shameless plug of the car. The OP then deleted it but not before some facts came out about the car, some repairs made to it and (not that this matters) the price paid for it when first bought by the current owner. The internet makes it difficult to hide any stories. I think it would be a good buy, but not at anything over £40k. But that's just IMHO.
isn't this the car that was discussed on here not long ago and from memory the thread went sideways quickly .... can't remember the exact reason but from memory the poster was a friend of the owner or sth
For the record, at not far off 60k euros, I do not find it particularly cheap given the mileage. The 355s on mobile.de are largely sticking and have been for a long time and most of those are much lower mileage
It does look nice though in yellow

Yes that's what I remember, somebody did some digging and found something in previous posts which put a different angle on the car completely and how it had been treated......For the record, at not far off 60k euros, I do not find it particularly cheap given the mileage.

Based on what though, hearsay?
Based on knowing someone who formerly specialised in 'mileage correction'. They were up and down the country, day in day out attending to exotica for private individuals and dealerships...Edited by theRossatron on Tuesday 24th January 17:37

You dont expect him to name a crook do you?
Why not? it was "mileage correction" so surely this guy was operating under the guise it was completely legal.On a sidenote, surely its much harder to clock the older cars with the mechanical odometers without leaving physical clues all over the place?

Correct, it's perfectly legal to carry out 'mileage correction' just illegal to sell the car knowing it's been carried out and not declaring the same. Apparently, it's only a couple of hours of work with the mechanical odometers..worth the time if you're being paid well for it and 'preserving' the value of the car. I was told they even 'etch' the inside of the dashboard as a record..On a sidenote, surely its much harder to clock the older cars with the mechanical odometers without leaving physical clues all over the place?
it's very very VERY common, my wife's Merc convertible has just gone back for a full refund to a very large respectable dealer due to it not being "genuine 8k miles". had no idea until it when in for a main dealer service, Mercs do leave a marker "implausible mileage detected" if not clocked properly, I now hear they can be!!, Mercedes openly told me how common it is, they had just had a women dropping a top of the range nearly new AMG off for its first service with a mileage blocker inserted into the loom which had us laughing out loud.
I've been assured there was/is a very well known indy Ferrari specialist that specialised in altering, mileage, history documents and genuine books to suit new mileages, out of interest just search rubber dealer stamps on eBay, cost less than £10 for a not so genuine Ferrari main/indy dealer of your choice service stamp.
Regarding the car I didn't know it was up for sale 6 months back and subsequently already discuss so my apologies, regarding the bonnet, yes it does look all out of line round the front lights!!
