This really is like comparing apples and oranges. The Ferrari is a sports car and the Maserati is a grand tourer. Two different cars with two very different purposes. Here is a very recent discussion on the F355 vs. 4200...Going through the UK classifieds recently, I noticed that 2002-2004 Maserati Spyders and 90-93 348 GTBs are now almost exactly the same price.
Which is the better buy ?
There is still a healthly price spread between the 348 and 355 (if condition, miles, and service history between the two are equal). Sorted 348s are trading for around $45K-$55K (in the US) and sorted 355s are trading for around $65K-$85K (also in the US). At the low end for both cars, there is a 30% price spread. Of course, there are always crazy examples of a 348 that sold for $35K or a 355 that sold for $50K but those one-off sales don't represent the market.I'm sure you can buy a 355 for about the same money, and that's a great car. But still, maintenance is going to be expensive.
That would be a mistake.--- I might just wait for an f430 in a few years with the F1.
Agree. I have a 360 6 speed and have no interest in trading it for a 430. The 360 has been highly reliable and it is more than quick enough.That would be a mistake.
Stay with a 6 speed. No issues associated with F1.
I'd say look at a 360 first. It's better loloking!
Buy that 348 back. Was a mistake to have sold it.
So why are you thinking about buying a 348?I have a 360 6 speed and have no interest in trading it for a 430.
Actually the other way around. I am seriously considering buying a 4200 Spyder.So why are you thinking about buying a 348?![]()
More comfortable in terms of ride quality? Noise? Interior room? (I find the F360 has more headroom)The Maserati Spyder will be a more comfortable drive than your 360 and still give you a lot of performance![]()
