360 Model years

[USS Bozeman]

I am considering a 360 and was wondering if there were any major improvements made through its life?
For example - I believe there were a few (mainly under the skin) made to the 2002 cars onwards - but were these big enough to stretch my budget to get a 2002 car?
I would be after an F1 car and I believe the later software can be installed to the older cars?
Any help appreciated.

The F1 was part of the 2002 improvements I think it is fairly expensive to get earlier cars updated so you should get a price for this to be done to an earlier car and then you can build in that to your purchase.
NAVTRAK and xenon lights are also standard from 2002 not sure what else changed.
I owned a 2001 manual spider that had the xenon lights as an option so could be mistaken for 2002 or newer if age bothers you.
Buy the best example you can for your budget and forget the year its all down to condition service history etc.
