First sub £30k F355....

[Mario149]

....that's from a dealer and not Cat D, C etc? Pretty sure it's the first one I've seen

I do know of an ex-track experience F355 with 100k on the clock that was traded from one dealer to another in Europe for something in the low £20ks, wonder what that ended up being sold for

You beat me by 3 minutes ggrr! Haha. I was literally just about to post this.

This just goes to show what a difference mileage makes (rightly or wrongly) on these cars. Personally I still reckon they won't shift it quickly purely because so many people will be put off by the mileage. Still though nice to see thses cars beeing used.

I wish the crap weather would go so I can use mine! Oh bring on summer

It's at The Ferrari Centre, so I'm sure you can negotiate a good warranty.
Good, cheap car, I reckon.

To be fair, mileage makes a difference to price on just about EVERY car on the market - be it Italian exotica or humdrum Japanese schoolrun mediocrity.

+1, works v well. If only it was a Spider I'd go have a look!

To be fair how many 355's do think have genuine mileage exactly.

All you have to do is reach behind the dash and remove a small plug. I know of at least one 355 that has done 2 x 3500 summer european trips and put no mileage on during that time.

I put several thousands of pounds on the fact that it wont be the only one.

[tomtom]

Are you implying that people misrepresent the mileage on Ferraris?!

lol...is the Pope a Catholic?

I like that Verde Silverstone car - could be tempted myself actually...

[Charge99]

I don't think that car is very cheap, if you look at the difference between a 30,000 and a 50,000 F355 it's certainly a few £k, so at that kind of mileage I think you'd need to knock a few £k off before it starts to look well priced.

Also, in my experience, F355's don't wear mileage well, at 50,000 miles chances are the various owners will have got in and out of the car many times more than a normal car

[SpeedYellow]

Mine has done well over 50k miles now and the interior is much better than lots of very low mileage cars I see about. Depends on use rather than miles. 2 miles to the pub and back or 200 around the country makes very little wear difference on the seats

[ferrari spider]

The seats wear better on black leather to. Mine is cream and i had mine compleatly recoverd in new leather a few years back. Theres always that wear on the seat bolster with cream that does not show up on black.

This one, Ex-Pher car sold by Walkersport (to PHer in Australia) was under £30k IIRC and was quite a minter. Definitely the one that got a away.

That is exactly the same as mine - i had to do a double look when i saw it in autocar the other day!

Whilst i am of course biased, the dark green & tan leather look really good in real life..altho mine has 10k miles only & a capristo versus the one on sale.

what i was thinking

that car makes the 50k one for sale look a very good buy

which then leads you to believe that the 100k miles one traded at a very low value ... 20k maybe ?

Yes

I went with a mate of mine to have his 330ci "clocked". I walked into the garage, and there was at least around 1.5m worth of supercars there being clocked, or getting prepared to be clocked.

Ferarari's are the most clocked car he was telling me. Unlike my mates BMW which needed the dash removed, keyfob programming etc etc..

So yes, they are clocked a lot. Especially in Leeds!!!!!!!!
