New 360m F1 owner

[sts123]

Hi, I have just bought my first ferrari, 2000 360m F1, 15k miles. The dealer has given me a 1 yr warranty that only covers 1st 1000 of any claim. He suggests I upgrade the policy to 5000 per claim and told me some horror story about new f1 pump costing 5000 alone! Are these policies worth having for this age of car and any ideas on best place to buy one???

Awesome car, still have big grin from drive home ) Sports exhaust is going to upset a few neighbours!

Hi
Congrats on the new car. What colour is it?

New F1 pump is £850 not 5 grand. Warranty is worth having depending on how much you pay for it. WHere did you get the car from?

Its worth checking clutch wear as F1's tend to go through clutches quicker than manuals.

Any other questions drop me a line

its silver with black interior. Bought from Rosso Corsa in Acton. A good price. Not quite sure about the sports exhaust though which is tubi

Tubi takes a bit of time to get used to,`i`m ok with mine now and wouldn`t be without it. You can adjust the sound it makes with different throttle positions going up through the gears,superb.

When you going hard in "sport" changing down and braking , you`ll get a new sound from the exhaust, nothing like it, .........enjoy.

congrats on car - nice colour too ! - i bought independantly too and went for a £7500 claim limit as £1000 is too low i think...........no problems yet though after 6+months..............enjoy the car and the tubi !

Congats from one Ferrari owner to another!!

I have used RC since taking ownership of my 348 nearly one year ago and have found them to be fantastic. They really know their onions and have kept my baby on the road despite such nasties as electrical gremlins, rogue clutches and errant lumps of trim.

I will continue to use them whilst I still own a Ferrari.

Look forward to meeting you at a PH/Ferrari do....

Cheers, enjoy! they sound and look fantastic!
