OK...

I am looking to buy a 360, and there are 3 in my price range on Autotrader. 2 have relatively low miles and the 3rd is on 28,600. My questions are:-

1) I have heard that once a Ferrari hits 35k miles it depreciates quite considerably. Is this correct?

2) what "options" were there such as wing shields etc that I should look out for/take preference over?

3) Did all the 360's come with a 6 disc autochanger or was it an option?

sorry for the dumb questions, but after my last purchase I want to go into buying a sports car better informedrolleyes

finally any other suggestions would be well received.

Jez - The 360 is a stonking car.

1. The 360 should be ok at higher miles - needs to be cheaper though.

2.. Shields were a very desirable option (about £700 from memory)

3. What on earth do you want a stereo for - listien to the orchestra constantly playing right behind youwink. Seriously no the changer was not standard.

Try driving it any further than your local meet though ... yes, it sounds good, but after 9 hours solid through Spain and even 6 or 7 hours across northern Europe, it gets a little monotonous smile
