my friend picked this up last week
only 9k miles on it

and interior

ballin outta control.

how much $

Three questions: Why is the fuel filler flap open?
What's that junk hanging from the mirror?
What's the device on/near the gas pedal?

348s are cheeeeeeeap to buy these days! Not into the mini-testarossa look myself, but I hope your friend has good luck with it! :)

That's not a standard 348. It looks by the tail lights to be a 'Series Speciale' They only made 100 of them. That car would sell for $60-80 depending on milage and condition. THere is nothing by the gas pedal. All Ferrari's have a chrome scuff mark protector there. It's to keep you shoes from rubbing the center console, or to look at the dog crap on the bottom of your shoe.

348 are great cars. They have a hot start problem from time to time. It seems that the flywheel grease comes off and alters the weight of the wheel throwing off the sensor. the 95 is the best year of the 348.

BTW - my condolences. Since it has 9k miles, if it has not had a major service, it is going to need one. Timing belts ( in this case, the 348 only has one) should be replaced every 3 years or 30k miles. This requires a engine out service $ 5k+. Also, all the tires should be changed and the fluids including the brake fluid needs to be flushed. ECU's (both) can go bad from non-use so he might get a check engine light or a slowdown light. If he does that is normal.

If he has any questions, have him drop me a line. I know all the good independant shops and I know most of all the little Ferrari querks. I also have the service manual and parts catalog for it.

Guess I'm trying to figure out what the gray device with blue button is, just inside the steering wheel. Something on the keys?

It looks like an alarm fob

Nice 348. 2 weeks ago I got to ride in a 348 challenge car that was fully race prepped on Mosport Race Track. I was impressed with the car.

nice car.

It's "beads" not "chain", and I don't see a crucifix on it. Is that a respectful way to display what represents a "crown of thorns"? Why not a plastic Jesus on the dash, too?

Hey Mike I saw the same Ferrari on 57 South Bound, and I was behind you checking it out. 57/10 freeway. I was wondering could that be your or your gf?

who cares whats hnging from the mirror. i doubt i would give a rats ass about that if i could afford the car. good grief just one more thiing for folks to complain about in this forum.

I am MikeB's friend and also friends with the Owner of the Ferrari. I believe he bought it for "around" 65K, but he had it appraised for 90K +.

I'll get more info about the Ferrari tonight. I'll be meeting with him later today.

It's a Series Speciale. They are worth more then the standard 348.

I saw an interview on TV where some celeb was showing his car, he had a cross hanging on the mirror, and said "I'm not religious at all, I just hope someone who breaks into my car might be" Thought that was pretty funny.

I just wouldn't want that stuff waving around from the mirror while I'm driving. It goes along with mystic crystals, dream-catchers and high-school graduation tassels.

thats a beautiful car
