While mooching for a new car I've seen a few higher mile F360's knocking around sometimes up to 60k miles for a yr 2000 car. Both in Manual & F1.

I know during this time most cars will be due some big bills - expected life on the turbo's for my S4 was about 60k miles & the belts are due then too. Does anyone have details of when\what the big bills are for these? They seem pretty reliable & there are obviously quite a few people using them as daily drivers..

My 360 is on 70,000 miles and was on 20,000 when I bought it 5 years ago.

Verdi looks after mine and always has done. Apart from the usual wear and tear + belts I've had no serious issues. Had engine mounts replaced at last service but that's no big deal either.
Does like eating rear tyres though.. or perhaps that's just my driving scratchchin

I recall Karl Verdi saying in a magazine feature that he looks after several 360's used as daily drivers with over 100K on the clock.

Our 360 mod F1 has had a very tough last 2 years on the track - in fact its in today for cambelts. The balljoints have needed replacing every year or so, but considering its done 6/7k on the track alone being driven hard all day its done very well. Got a big bill about a year ago for new discs, aforementioned ball joints, gearbox mounting etc but its been a top car and seems to like mileage. Bodywork is not good though smile
