You Can Buy This Ferrari F355 For The Price Of A Used Mercedes E-Class-April 2024

Hand-made. Mid-Engined. Italian. These are things that would normally be reserved only for those with 5-figure dinner bills and 7-figure incomes. Fortunately, is here to deliver those same unobtainium thrills, without you having to go broke in the process. Depreciation is a wonderful thing.

is regarded as one of the best handling and best looking Ferraris ever made by some critics. Its 3.5 liter, 5-valve-per-cylinder V8 produces 375 horsepower, and powers its sleek body from 0-60 in about 4 and a half seconds, which is still damn quick 20 years later. Its aluminum body was formed after 1800 hours of wind tunnel testing, and it's the perfect marriage of form and function. It also has a row-your-own 6 speed manual transmission with a fancypants gated shifter.

This car has more miles than a regular Ferrari for its age, but it looks absolutely immaculate and seems to have all of its services in order - a necessary part of any used Ferrari purchase. Here's an excerpt from the description:

Should you buy a used Ferrari? That depends on what you want in a car. It's not a replacement for a daily driver, and it probably won't be the most practical thing in the world, but it is a Ferrari, and that in itself is a novelty that won't get old in a short amount of time. You'd have to do a major engine out service every few years, but if budgeted correctly, this could be one hell of a nice ride, especially if you do the work yourself. ?
