Now this is a very very big if but if you were to sell a 355 spider when wouuld you sell it ?

I have had mine just over a year spent two years looking for it looked at 30+ cars before I found one that I was happy with and bought it from chris 355 on here. I know I wold probably never be able to replace it with a comparable example.

The problem is whilst I absoloutly love it I just havent used it done something like 800 miles in 14 months !!!! ( taken out every couple of weeks though) Like most of us I work mad hours ( 6 -9 six days a week) and mainly due to having too many other toys it just sits in its air chamber connected to a battery conditioner

Added to that I have just bought another 997 cab to use as a daily driver

So should I sell it ( and buy the next field like jonny, mrs phib wants chickens and pigs !!) or keep it !! answers on a post card

So did it not cross your mind that you would not be able to use it much, during the long two years of looking for one?

During the search I was doing a different job close to home lots of free time etc etc and swore I would never work miles from home evenings weekends etc etc ........... then along came the job last august I am doing now 75 miles from home but great fun and great prospects i.e. very early retirement potential !!!

I'd keep it - looks like an absolutely stunning version and you might have time to enjoy it if early retirement comes along hehe Could you not just use it for the commute a few days a month during the summer to get more use out of it?

I sold my 355 spider 3 weeks ago and regretted it within minutes. I had it up for sale three times and kept changing my mind.



Even with my new Gallardo I still miss the Ferrari.

ARE YOU MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
smash Don't sell it. Even if you only drive it 6 feet a year, just look at it, it's beautiful. Surely you will regret it.
