Saw this ad on Auto trader for Hollingworth at Ombersley:

Why pay up to £10,000 over price for a used 355 at the agents? Why be told your car's worth up to a third less of what you paid for it 12 months ago, and why pay upto £2500 for a cam belt change, and up to £800 for an oil change/annual service? Please don't tell me it's for the stamp in the book! For a new approach call professionals or see our web-site for details.

Their 355's were not £10k cheaper and all servicing is +VAT making them same if not more than Verdi/rosso etc.

Workshop looks professional enough. Any good/bad reports gents??

Hi Shaun
The advert was aimed at the main dealers and not specialists like Verdi’s and Rosso Corsa, the reason I posted the advert is that I met someone this week that had paid £67,000.00 for a 1998 R 355 GTB with 17000 Miles three months ago, the car was worth no more than £55K on a good day, and to top it all they’ve treated him with total contempt. This is not the first time I’ve heard stories like this so all I’m saying is theres more to Ferrari than the Main Dealer

Adam,

Just out of curiosity.....regarding your cambelt change on an F355. Is that done with the engine out or with the engine still in the vehicle?
