I am familiar with loads of 348s locally. Water pumps take major  strain and 
wear out and are expensive. Transmissions are weak. Loads of smaller  
problems. As Clyde says, Ferrari was bankrupt when making the thing..here in 
the  UK 
they sell for the same as a 328 and are a stinker to sell. Disagree about the  
360 though, for the most part that's a trouble free car considering what it 
is.  Of course dealer support is much better and easier here in the Uk where 
there is  a dealer within 60 mile of anywhere.
 
For 20k I would look at a 348 but wouldn't pay more. A really really nice  
328 will make £25-£28 here in the UK.

How many  folks on the list have had a lot of heartache with their 348?   

Honestly...  I owned one and raced it for almost 2 years in the  Texas
summers and aside from a clutch (wear and tear) failure on the drive  home
from the track one weekend, it was pretty rock solid in every respect  for
me.  Maybe my car was just well sorted?  No idea...  I  even recall one
weekend where 5 Porsches (3 of them turbos) were lined up  with various
engine/mechanical failures from the hot weekend, I packed up  the 348 and
drove it the 60 miles  home.
