Why hasn't this sold ?

[sng45]

I'm considering buying a 430 Spider and during my regular trawls of my favourite car sites - I noticed this 360 spider about 3 months ago and it's still for sale now, it looks absolutely fantastic , almost like a new car and I'm now wondering if I should reconsider and go for a 360 spider ( i.e this one !) instead ! and wonder why this car is still for sale ?

I've owned a 360 spider and a Modena ( in fact I bought that from Nick Cartwright) and really enjoyed them - however having driven a couple of 430's I felt (feel) that's the way forward - however the question is should I go for a (this) 360 Spider and save myself 25 grand in the process ?

or should I be considering a Gallardo spider instead ?

a black 430 spider with cream leather mmmmm.

i considered a 360 too for a bit but in my oppinion the 430 is worth the extra - bear in mind that a year or so ago the gap was a lot bigger. Ive had my 430 for a few months now and absolutely love it. That 360 does look very smart though!

Hi Steve,

This would be as close to motoring perfection as it comes (just under £20k more): 6w ab64t th5s

I must say the black 360 spider looks stunning and the carbon seat look fantastc. You may want to check it is still for sale though as I thought it had sold.

Good luck with your search

Stunning looking 360!

The black offset with creams looks fantastic.

That colour looks fantastic... But those exhaust pipes??!?!? Is it my eyes playing tricks on me?

I have to say I agree, why has it only got one on each side instead of two?

The 360 in black with cream looks awesome, but I'd still be looking at Gallardo Spyders if I could afford them, so much better looking than the 430 IMHO!

maybe thats why it hasnt sold. I prefer cars to be original and i would imagine im not alone, though of course there are probably just as many who want tubis etc.

Looks like I spoke too soon - shown as SOLD on their pistonheads ad' ! ( but still available on Nick Cartwrights' website !)

I don't particularly mind tubi's etc, I've got a sports exhaust on my 355, but I like them to look standard. But to be honest it wouldn't stop me buying the car, I would just have to negotiate a grand or so off to fit a proper exhaust!

It could be worse, but there again its an oficial ferrari thing to do .
I saw this on a oficial dealer teast F430 in Maranello 6 weeks ago. It was one of two factory cars that were giving people the opportunity to drive a Ferrari. They were situated across from the Galleria and next to the Ferrari shop. I had to double take.

Hmm... Strange. I imagine that on some of these cars, the double exhausts are a fashion item? And it is in fact, one pipe that splits into two?

Or am I way off?

That isn't the factory exhaust on there.
