Cool

Just taken my dream car as a part exchange,
This thing drives better than even I expected, forget all the bull about Ferrari's being a pain to live with.
I've only had it 2 weeks and have done over 2000kms in all weather conditions, hassle free.
I've just had it serviced at a ferrari main dealer, £627 all in.
Which I think is cheap, A big service on an Impreza can cost that.
I hope no one buys it, as its looks bl00dy good on my drive.

Ian

Havn't found the left hand drive a problem, only took a couple of days to get used too.
LHD is miles cheaper, our car is a 96N with 25,000 miles for £39,995.
Just checked out the Ferrari website, the cheapest 96N RHD car from a main dealer is £59,995.
£20,000 saving makes sense to me.
I've just heard there is a Ferrari specialist who will convert LHD to RHD for £5000, don't know if I'll bother.

We had a 2000 on a W, BMW M5.
The guy had just bought the Ferrari as a toy for the summer and now wanted something he could park on the streets of Edinburgh, but still had a bit of poke.

Why's the pic of 'You're' ferrari in a showroom??? Thought you had driven it for 2000 KMS. Hmm sounds fishy to me. Thought M5's book at 50 grand new so not much of a part-ex.

Because its the Subaru garage I run.

You'll have to be a bit sharper than that Popeye !!!!!!!

Its obvious from the profile to the left of my posts, I am a Subaru dealer. I've not tried to hide the fact.
But if I wanted to sell a 355 I don't think the members gallery on Scoobynet is the place to advertise it.
Just though someone might like to see the pics.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Also I do pay for a banner ad and could use the Forsale section if that was my intention.

Hope that clarifies things for the Scoobynet sceptic franternaty.

Subaru dealers arn't all ba$tards, as some of you would like to believe.

I'm no Sceptic. I was just trying to point out to Popeye that there was nowt Fishy about your 2000kms and the Showroom.
Is there any chance of a ride in the Ferrari

Edited to say it's my fave Ferrari of all time. You can keep ya F40's and F50's, this is what it's all about.

Sorry mate got that one out of context.

Call in anytime and I'll give you a go.

Cheers

Ian,
In Jan i'll be in for the service you owe me, and to discuss my new STi8, with any luck no-one will have bought the 355, so you can take me out for a spin in it.

M5 traded in against a 02my WRX 4dr
Yes we were surprised as well !!!!!!

Got to agree about the steering wheel, all 96 on cars had twin airbags, which means sh1te steering wheel.

Phil I'll see you in Jan, Hope its not too frosty, 375bhp rear drive, no traction control, a bit scary !!!!

Ian
