355's make one of the sexiest noises known to mankind 
Also 360's can be picked up under 25k. Madness.

The purchase price doesn't really define the affordability on a car like that.

I think the prices have risen to be honest...
I remember seeing some at 25k. 
strangely I was looking at these today too, not that I could afford one. But if I did, I would drive it like it's meant to be driven, take it on track etc...
Servicing is quite bad, but not as bad as I expected.
Like £500-£1000 for minor servic
£2000 ish for major ish.

Yeah, 360's arent much dearer now either!
Purchase price is nothing though! I went to look at a 360 about 9 months ago that had a receipt for its last service (fair enough a belt service) and a few other small items (sensor and coil pack) and it came to nearly £10k!!!
Went to look at a DMS tuned 08 RS6 yesterday that was running 680bhp, thats my next car I think!

If you think you could really afford to run it and maintain it properly then do it. The 355 is such a great looking car.
Shame most people would probably assume it was a MR2 in a kit though

Think my next car will be a 997 Carrera or maybe R8. I dont think either could touch a ferrari 355 on running costs!?
Long way off tho. Next thing on my mind is the dreaded £1k Ins II service.....5k miles to go

Robbo Cruise over to mine if you get one
Been here a couple of times, they always have an awesome selection of cars. Saw an Alfa 8C there last time right after they came out http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.asp?d=747

Surely that's got too many numbers. Lose the '1' at the start and we're talking
