550, 360 or 355?

[d3ded]

Fellas,

I'm thinking of following my heart, taking the plunge and going for one of the above.

Weekend car 2-3k PA, long term ownership, 50kish budget.

What, where, and why.

Although i always lusted over a 355, the 550 continues to grow on me, just doesn't seem quite as dated; or is that just me?

Cheers,

Deano

You said long term ownership.

I think (obviously my opinion) the F355 will have a lasting beauty whilst the more modern Ferraris will look perhaps awkward.

agreed and plenty to be had with a 50k budget.

just buy wisely through a known specialist and you'll be fine.

All very diffenent cars, you need to drive the 3 of them before forming an opinion . FWIW, i'd buy a fully serviced/sorted 355 GTB.

I reckon the 550 is fantastic and better value than the 355.
