I’ve seen these sell as low as the mid $30’s in good condition

I've heard lots of horror stories about those, but damn if it isn't a nice looking car.

the 348 was the base chassis used for the 355 with design ques from the Testarossa, with a much worse engine. it would be cheaper to buy a 355 than it would be to buy a low priced 348 and maintain it.

Nice Price if it has the manual transmission. Crack Pipe if it has the F1 gearbox.

Pretty sure most F355 owners would disagree with that, including this one.
The 348 did not suffer from 5-valve guide problems, melting exhaust headers and, by proxy, early cat failures.
I will concede that 348s are by definition older and will suffer more old-car problems at any point in time. I am particularly intimidated by the electrical issues that people are facing in the 348 forum sections.

348s were not available with the F1 transmission. It debuted on the F355 as the “355 F1.”

This is actually a good price if the car comes with a reasonable amount of documentation and checks out through a PPI.
Good 348s are beginning to climb in value, following in the F355’s footsteps with the nostalgia burning in the late Gen-X/Early-Millennial crowd.

much worse in terms of performance.
and then as far as buying a cheap 348 (say 45k) and then maintaining it (engine out almost immediately and god knows what else you will find) vs. buying a maintained 355 (55-60k) you end up about the same cost, just a better car with the 355.
