Give you an idea of fixed priced servicing check out www.grimaldiengineering.co.uk.
Will need a minimum of an annual service every year irrelevant of mileage; approx £600.
Main service is about £950.
Belt change £400 (every three years or I think every 25k, whichever comes first).
Clutch approx £700 (about every 12k miles in an F1, going from the histories of all the cars I have looked at)
Other parts on top - expect them to be expensive!
Fuel bill will be large and tyres dont last long and are not cheap!

My car is an 02 coupe with 25k on the clock and virtually perfect..but...
So far this year at main dealer rates I have had .....
7 ball joints all covered by warranty £3500 (a real weak point on 360's)
New Clutch free of charge from dealer (would be circa £1300)
Rear anti roll bar and bushes £600
cambelts £1300
4 rear tyres £1200
4 wheels refurbed £400
Fuel £1800
So total costs £9000 for the year of which warranty covered £3500.
By no means a cheap year but the car is so awesome that it is more than worth it.

360's also had an appetite for cats and manifolds when they hit 18k ish and I agree with the other piston header they like anti roll bar bushes (so does the F430)
But appart from the odd 'slow down' light I think they are pretty bullet proof aslong as you service them reguarly.
If you can run them on Bridgestones, ok a softer tyre but the car seems to ride and turn better on these, rember to always replace them in two's and sometimes fours depending on wear. (ie if the other two are below 4 mm is good to reboot completely.
As mentioned you can expect clutches to wear between 12-16K mattering if you drive in town or out, F1 maybe be a tad quicker. I always had the release bearing changed at the same time, Ferrari did come out with a modified carrier but my memory has failed on the exact date.
If you buy one from a non Ferrari dealer check that she's had all the mods/updates.
Happy hunting

About bl00dy time Harsh - I might mistake you for a porker if I didn't see you otherwise..
funny. and I assume bebs means the car not you personally 
thanks Bebs!
it's just tough to be 100% which one to go for.
i want the extra noise but dont want motorway drone...
i'm narrowing it down......just want to get one before i move on to the next level!
