High miles F355 GTS

Hi all. What do you all think the price should be for a well maintained Ferrari 355 GTS RHD Manual that HAS DONE WELL OVER 90,000 MILES . It is the proper Red and Cream combo.

Tricky one.

If it's been serviced religiously, and passes a full inspection (and one that spends time on the engine) then there's no reason the car won't run brilliantly. They get better with miles IME and need to be used.

Sadly, the market tends to be a bit stupid and up its own arse with these cars, and high miles murders values (typically).

That said, 90k+ miles is not the norm. It's really going to come down to how much the owner will accept I think. Personally a good RHD 355 is always worth a number with a 3 at the front. But the owner may well find it difficult to shift unless he goes in at a chunk less. I wouldn't be offering anything until it had received a full independent inspection.

A car with that mileage is in difficult terrritory. I have never seen one with that kind of mileage. Assuming it still has the original engine and gearbox then we dont really know how long they will have left in them.

With mileage in excess of 90000 it goes without saying that it will be very difficult to sell. The only way to sell a car like that is to (a) make it so cheap that only someone who cant afford a normal mileage car can then afford it; or (b) cheap enough that somone can allow for the expense of a new engine or box should the worse happen.

The fact that it is a GTS probably rules out people who might buy it to turn it in to a race car.

As RHD 355's have now been seen in the 30's, I suspect that in order to actually sell it the price will need to be less than £30,000.
