Depending on the year, about £15k more than that, so be wary.

You didn't have your weetabix this morning did you fella?!

That's about the bottom price for 348's currently let alone 355's.

They may just want a quick sell. I'd check out the history. You never know could be the bargain of the century !!

I'm reading it that the mileage is 22000 NOT the price

Probably my badly worded post ! The mileage was 22,000.from the pictures that i saw it looked like a decent example.I am certain that it sold today for £25,000 plus a buyers fee of 12%

Indeed, now I've re-read it, it's mileage. I must of got a bit excited at seeing a 355 for £22k.

I'll go back to the classifieds then !

So you was offerd a 22k mile 355 spider yesterday, and today its been sold for 25k?
Have you the pictures or any other details/links of this car? Was it an insurance "cat" rated car by any chance? There must be a story.
I dont think we will get to see the pictures but its worth asking.

No :irk: We've run out so only had Coco-pops.

With a decent night's sleep and not up at stupid hours, the post now does read fairly bloody obviously as "low mileage at 22,000" ... as we were

So, without any nasty history, I would guess at high 30s (pounds, not miles).

Number plate shown in pictures is not included or for sale. AA warranty not available on this car.
The car was made available via an online auction.It had a starting bid of £24,995,then it was subject to a 12% buyers premium.I am almost certain that it was sold for the opening price as there was only one bidder(bear in mind here that the car was beibg sold amongst catering equipment!!).As the sale is now closed the pictures cannot be viewed but the pictures in question had a 'watermark' on them that stated racecourse cars,so a quick google search was all that was needed to show the same car was also being advertised by them,from what i saw of the pictures the car looks ok and the description.
I have tried to copy the pictures from the add but its not working for me.Just google 'racecourse cars' and its there.

If it was on their site for £ 40 I'd be very surprised if they then let it go for £ 25 plus 12 % - more like 'failed to meet reserve' & still for sale

Just managed to get this pic.

I am finding it so dam difficult to believe that the above car that was advertised for near £40,000,sold for only £25,000.
That looks a dam nice car. I just cant believe it sold for that unless there is something missing to this story.

When I first got a sniff of the car it was about 30 minutes before the auction was due to end.I had no idea of what its value was/is,hence the reason for my post.I wasn't looking for a car but if its cheap i would have a go at it.By the time i'd done a bit of homework on the value of similar 355's it was too close to the end of the sale for me to commit to buy a car online without actually viewing it.
I spoke to the auction organiser this evening and it turns out that the car wasnt part of an involvency dispersal sale and was actually entered by a private seller,the start price was £24,995 with just one bid on it BUT and here's the bit that narked me it had a reserve of £40,000,at that point my level of interest rapidly diminished especially when it had another 12% to add to that.
