Default 355GTB questions

Hi, I am new to the forum, it looks a place with friendly and knowledgeable people! I am looking at a F355 Berlinetta being marketed by Bo Fenner from Star European in Huntington Beach, CA. Car looks and sounds great, seller seems to have FSH. Anybody knows this seller? What is his reputation? In and around Los Angeles, anybody can recommends good places where to buy and good mechanics? Thanks for any help.

Welcome to Ferrari Life. I am not sure about Bo, but I can say that regardless of who you buy from (even with a great reputation) you should have a PPI by a mechanic. This way you know exactly what you are getting.

Also, is this the first F355 you've looked at? If so, I recommend that you keep looking at others before settling right away on the first one you've looked at.

I would definitely look at several different F355s and try to drive a few.

Have you taken a look at the F355 Buyers Guide

+1 for Fast Cars, aka Tillack in Redondo Beach. Craig also has 2 F355 cars on consignment through their Tillack business. Both are F1. 1 is a Spider and the other a Berlinetta.
