The 2003 Ferrari 348 tb / ts / GTB / GTS / Spider has an excellent reliability record with no widely reported common faults for this model year period.

Buying Tips for 2003 Ferrari 348 tb / ts / GTB / GTS / Spider

  • Prefer 1993-on GTB/GTS/Spider cars for better build quality and revised suspension over early tb/ts examples
  • Test the climate control and all electrics; early cars can suffer climate-ECU failure and Delco alternator faults
  • Confirm cam-belt service history — the engine must be removed for the job and a snapped belt causes major engine damage
  • Check wheelarches, door bottoms, sills and rear wings for corrosion and signs of previous repair
  • Expect sticky switch coating on interior buttons; budget for specialist refinishing or replacement
