We'll go easy on the listing because 1) we like Ferraris 2) we like seeing them get driven 3) we like Colorado.  Hopefully the first two reasons resonate with the readership, and the Colorado origins at least help justify the coating of dust on the red paint.

300 brake horsepower do not raise any eyebrows in modern automotive circles, but viewed through the lens of 1990, one could do much worse.  We like to view the 348 as the super sports car complement to something like our 1988 Milano Verde, and compared to the Verde's 183 (stock) horsepower, 300 is a very impressive number.  Continuing with the Verde comparison, we like the large, integrated front foglights, the orange gauge numbering, and the Momo Ghibli steering wheel, which we'd love to install on our Verde.

CLICK FOR DETAILS: 1990 Ferrari 348 TS

This car has a lot of miles and not so many service details.  Service records and any indication of general condition will be very necessary to even consider the purchase.  That said, a low-mileage example will require a lot of catch-up in the maintenance department, so we are actually quite supportive of going for a high-mileage example such as this.

For those in search of a mid-engined V8 Ferrari in the low $30,000 range, we think that this 348 TS has some potential.  Even better, if the buyer has experience repairing Italian cars.  Parts will be of considerable expense, information scattered, and frustration common, but we think that the juice is worth the squeeze.
