This 360 seems cheap.

[GT40]

£41,195. Seems cheap.
Yes, I know it is silver and a fairly basic spec, but still seems cheap, especially if you could haggle the price a bit more.

Yes, it does seem quite cheap - even considering colour and spec. Wonder what the history is like, general condition, tyres etc..

oh, it also doesn't have a tubi - which would be essential (a 360 without a tubi is like a woman without tits; sure you can ride as fast, but you can't help notice that something very important is missing)

So take that 42k, you could easily spend:
tyres - 2k
respray (for stonechips/scratches or to turn rosso corsa) - 1k-8k
proper service and belts - 2k
wheels refurb - 200
tubi + challenge grille - 5k

making it a 50k+ car to get it where you want it.....

still - entry level 360 for nota lota cash

Have noticed a couple popping up in the low £40's recently, I suspect there are a number of punters who have stretched themselves on the back of property etc to get a 'dream Ferrari'. Now things are starting to look somewhat bleak for the coming years we will probably see a lot more up for sale in that price range.

Noticed a lot of competitively priced 996's looking for a quick sale also so suspect people are starting to shed their toys on the back of falling property prices / increase finance costs...

Cant see 360's falling sub £40 though as thats getting down into 355 money....

Where do you get those prices from ??? Tyres and servicing applies to any car. How do you know it needs a respray or wheel refurb? Tubi and challenge grill are entirely down to choice, but if you must have them, they will never cost you £5k... more like £3k.

At the end of the day its a cheap car - even if it does need a bit of work.

Would have to go through a full Ferrari inspection before I bought it though....just in case the gearbox and engine were about to go pop !

I was speculating on potential costs if it were a rough one and needed some TLC - some people will read that 360s are now 42k and all should cost this much - I was simply pointing out that there is quite rightly a fair few 000s difference between the bottom and top end of the market and what appears to be a v cheap car could in the end cost you the same as a decent one.

Yes, it should be worth a look at that money. Ask about the last belt change and clutch. If you can get a decent 360 in any colour at that money I dont think you will lose much. Get a specialist to look it over first though, you dont want to have to fork out for ball joints. £3k max for sports exh and challange grill if you buy new, 2k if you find s/h. £1k for tyres. If you are going to drive it dont throw money painting the front, it wont last long.
