Every Ferrari owner I've met so far tells me to stay very far away from 348s...

That's like saying blondes are very dangerous. Dangerous, yes, but very dangerous? I doubt it.

The 348 can be a nice car but realize you are looking at a car that is 10+ years old. Any car of that vintage can have problems.

Find one well cared for or the last model year-94/95- and you can have a great car.

I know a few owners now and their cars are fantastic. VTC has a gorgeous GTB.

If one takes his time, asks a lot of questions, and checks service records, on can find a very nice 348.

LOL!

Regardless of the model, buy the right car, do your homework, everything will be fine.

Yes.

Wake up everyone interested in a 348.

This is what it should be.

This one is a museum piece because Chris never drives it!

However, 348's are very nice cars.

Forget the garbage advice from those who do not know the truth!

I absolutely love my car.
No issues, all pleasure.
Bought it with 11k miles and now 18k and change
The garage queen status is being jeopardized
But I take care of it, so its still a Queen

That it is w/o question so don't believe the garbage about 348's being a problem.

Every can has problems! I have an 03 CL500 going back to M-B under the lemon law that I have driven just 11,000 miles in almost 5 years and it has more problems than all the cars I have owned collectively! And tha's a whole bunch of cars!
