    Typically that indicates a salvage title.

    More likely aftermarket exhaust or emisions parts without CARB certifications.

    This car has a hit on carfax, but a very nice car indeed.

    This car did not attempt the smog certification due to arriving late to the auction thus giving it the inability to be registered in California through Mecum. It should pass a cali smog with flying colors, and can definitely be registered in California.

    Auction houses often do this to avoid any potential liability as sellers.

    I traded my F355 spider for an Aston Martin at Ferrari of Tampa Bay. It ran flawlessly on the 4 hour drive to Tampa. I know I'm going to miss it but my old knees have a hard time getting in and out of it. The Aston Martin was the general managers wife's car. It will be interesting to see what the ask for it. Thanks to all the forum members that were of help to me. It made owning one of the truly great cars of all time a real pleasure.

    Come on wtf are you talking about.

    Anything in cali is emissons related. No state cares about a car with a previous salvage title.

    I don't own a Ferrari but I have recently starting looking for a F355 to buy (seems like everyone and their mom, lately). I read this entire thread, which surprisingly only started 6 months ago. From what I gather, even in the last 6 months, asking and sold prices for F355s have gone up, even as winter has come. I should have started looking 6-12 months ago when I could have gotten a well maintained car in the $50-60k range private party. Even this 'VALUES' thread (http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/348-355-sponsored-bradan/501079-real-f355-values.html) that was started in Sept quotes prices in the $40-50k range at the start, then $75k posted today for a driver’s car.

    Dealer asking prices and private parties who follow dealer trends for similar cars now are outrageous, asking over $100k. But if you examine closely, these seem to be left unsold, or go from dealer to dealer, or very low mileage cars. It's not that I don't believe the F355 could be worth over $100k some day (one of the most beautiful sports cars of the 90s IMO, manual 6-speed, NA V8, hitting every right nerve in my body, BUTTRESSES!) but it all seems to be hyped up at the moment. My heart says go for it and pay near asking to get your dream car, but my brain disagrees. I'm not going to be the one to jump off that cliff (...maybe).

    Here were/are my leads for GTBs <$100k I&#8217;ll share:

    1. 96 red/tan 26k at Park Place SOLD in a day, $69,950. VIN:ZFFXR41A2T0106197 1996 Ferrari F355 ZFFXR41A2T0106197 for sale in Seattle Bellevue WA. This asking price seems more reasonable to me, and obviously to someone else who beat me to it. Now we&#8217;ll just see if it pops up as a flip.

    2. 95 red/tan 45k from Ken in NC SOLD, asking was $71k. ZFFPR41A4S0101517 1995 Ferrari F355 , $71,000 - Cars.com

    3. 95 red/black 31k from Ken in NC ZFFPR41A4S0100321, asking $82k on eBay but also listed in fchat: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/ferraris/502393-gated-1995-355-gtb-red-nero-valve-guides-major-service-tubi-headers.html

    4. 95 Red/tan 34k at Black Horse, asking $84,900. Bought on eBay in May 2015 for $58k (Grrrr!). Mods and full engine rebuild. ZFFPR41A1S0100745 Used 1995 Ferrari 355 GTB TB Berlinetta for sale in Naples, FL | Black Horse Motors LLC

    5. 95 red/tan 42k at F40 asking $89,500, still for sale since I&#8217;ve been looking. I suspect bumper has been repainted because there&#8217;s no black strip. ZFFPR41A3S0103680 1995 Ferrari 355 Berlinetta at F40 Motorsports in Portland, CT

    6. 95 grey/tan 23k in SF on craigslist asking $75k, but allegedly involved in a rollover?? Ferrari F355 GTB. VIN???

    7. 95 Barchetta/tan 32k at Robb Francis asking $96,900 ZFFPR41A6S0100868. 1995 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta - Robb Francis Sports Cars Peapack, NJ 07

    8. 99 Silver/black 33k on Chicago Craigslist asking $77,999 VIN???, 1999 Ferrari 355 F1 GTB

    9. 95 red/black 25k at JM Legend asking $75,900, ZFFPR41A7S0103732 still for sale since I&#8217;ve been looking price dropped, 1995 Ferrari F355 GTB Berlinetta 6-Speed | JM Legend

    10. 95 barchetta/tan 31k at JM Legend asking $79,900, VIN??? Still for sale since I&#8217;ve been looking price dropped, 1995 Ferrari F355GTB Berlinetta | JM Legend

    11. 95 red/tan 46k at Jeff&#8217;s Motorcars in OH asking $58,800 price dropped, for sale for 3 months, minor accident, sold for $48,500 in 2009 at RM Sotheby&#8217;s. ZFFPR41AXS0104096, 1995 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta | Canton, Akron, Cleveland OH | Stark & Summit County | Jeff's Motorcars of North Canton

    12. 97 black/tan 32k at Intersport, asking $96,988. ZFFXR41A7V0106733. http://www.intersportsales.com/1997-Ferrari-F355/Used-Car/Mclean-VA/6480431/Details.aspx

    Is it just me, or does that look like it has about 50-75k more miles than what is on the odometer? Even the passenger seat shows considerable wear...and the driver's seat bolster is shot. What gives?

    I believe this is the car that was supposedly involved in a roll over accident at some point? Correct me if I'm wrong.

    In my opinion the bubble will burst soon. Global economic outlook doesn't look too great, and at the end of the day the 355 is a mass produced entry level exotic car. Investment grade ones may hold their value, but none of the cars you've listed are in that category.

    If you want something to just enjoy and keep for a very long time, I'd place #10 at the top of my list.
