The 355 is considered by most to be the most expensive of all the Ferrari V8s in history to maintain/fix.
Both for normal maintenance (they have a 5 valve engine, need engine out service, etc) and for "problems" (they melt headers, which are expensive to replace, have ECU and a bunch of other mechanical and cosmetic issues).
A 355 needing a service, the header fix, and a few deferred maintenance/repair stuff could easily get to $20K to bring up to snuff at a dealer or top independent.
