Is 5 owners in 8 years an issue on a 360CS?

[beanorat]

I'm looking at a 360CS from a main dealer, first foray into Ferrari's having had a string of GT3's
I'd be the 6th owner and probably keep for 2 years at which point the car would be 10 yrs old
Is this an issue?
Dealer says not but I thought I would pass this by those with more experience than I have!

thanks

Nope numerous owners is common place. Is it the Graypaul car? It is a good price.

Go on pull the trigger great cars.

[beanorat]

thanks for that yes its the Graypaul car. Waiting to hear about the brake disc wear as apparently their software can't read it and I'd rather know before taking the plunge!

Super nice car - I was contemplating it too but chose to stick w/ my 7.1RS as I feel it is less fragile.

I don't think it is an issue at all as these cars tend to be garage queen more than anything else: as usual make sure it has had a proper service each year.

I think dealer cars have to have no more than 40% wear on discs/clutch to retail with 2 year Ferrari warranty.

Be interesting to hear if they replace the discs as the car I am buying was previously on SOR at Graypaul and they said it needed new discs too.

Apparently the SD2 said they were 68% worn but in fact these readings are often unreliable and it turns out they are closer to 30% worn (you can only get an accurate reading by removing them and measuring the thickness/ weight of the discs)

Hope it all works out

When I was looking at F430s, it's seemed lots of Ferraris have many owners. I tend to change my car every summer so it would be a bit hypercritical for me to think it's a negative if others choose to do the same. Plus, remember a one owner (low mileage) car could have spent much of it's life on track days (especially with a 360CS). Have the car independently inspected and buy on condition.

It hasn't done very many miles so wear should be minimal - ECU estimates its wear rate, only true way is too weigh them. I've done 9k in mine over 2 years and pads still look the same !!

Have you got the registration of it ? Stick it on FChat and someone will know it.

What warranty does it come with ?

[beanorat]

oh well someone bought this car before me while I was waiting for the data on brake wear. Does anyone know the car at Alexanders ? its not exactly cheap but the guy describes it as totally immaculate and brake and clutch wear is very low. Has anyone seen it ? thanks

In answer to the question on warranty Graypaul put warrantywise policies on their older cars, 10k cover, extendable for around £2000 pa
Apparently warrantywise are ok according to Graypaul ? I don't know but aftermarket warranties do seem to enjoy a terrible 'general ' reputation, maybe thats the case historically

Sorry you missed the other car.

The Alexanders car the advert certainly is shouting

That car does look good low miles, leather seats are rare compared to the alcantara. Price looks fair for car if it is as good as the advert suggests (it is £5k cheaper than Meriden's car with 15k!)
I like how they call ceramic brakes "racing brakes" the race 360's use steels!!
