High mileage a problem on 360?

[JT71]

I'm buying a 360, and have found one I like, which I'm seriously considering. It's an early model (2000) and has 52,000 on the clock though. Whats the general consensus - anyone experienced any problems with high mileage cars?

It's a nice example, manual, RHD, in red, black interior, carbon seats etc. £45K.

Cheers!

Not owned one but the general consensus is that if properly looked after and serviced they are no problem and can handle big mileages.

I believe Verdi look after several 360's which are used as daily drivers and have over 100K miles on them. Bbessen on PH has a left hooker with around 100K on it I believe.

autocar run a feature a while back with a 360 with i think 130k without any problems

Most will say that the mileage will be fine. But with 50k miles it will be VERY difficult to sell. £45k too much IMO. There are red 35k mileage cars advertised at £47-48k.

I think £45k is about as low as they go for any mileage, but I think you could get lower mileage for around the same money.

If you like it and the price spec and condition are up to scratch and what you require then buy it.......there are too many people hung up on buying low mileage cars and then worrying about keeping the mileage low for the next buyer.......buy it cheap, drive and enjoy it then sell it cheap. Ferrari's are no different to any other brand other than the more miles it does, the more the scaremongers will proclaim the doom and gloom resale value. All Ferrari's unless they are complete garage queens will eventually reach 40k + miles ....does that make them all unsellable. Buy it, drive it and keep on top of the maintainance and unless you are very unlucky then your 360 will see you through.

Point there is to buy it cheap..£45k sounds a bit strong as you could get a low mileage in another colour for £48k... PS the one in Autocar had an engine rebuild (twice I think).. However, they are brilliant cars and if you can find a practical use for one (ie to acutally be able to drive and enjoy it) then its a must have

Bebs has one with high milage (arond 75-80k i think). Don't really here from him too much in the way of issues. Might be worth dropping him a PM.

[taaffy]

Yep 45k is a tad too much ....if the seller would take 40k then that is a nice deal.

80,000 miles now. (121,000 km)
No major issues in 5 years and 90,000 km.
1 exhaust cam variator replaced. 1 wheel bearing. New set of engine mounts at 100,000 km.
Apart from that just wear and tear, tyres (a lot ), pads, discs, front bushes and 1 clutch at 50,000 km! I'm still on that same clutch
According to Verdi she's as quick as any 360, sharper and still tighter than many low milage garage queens they see.
Mine has always been serviced and looked after by Verdi with the correct intervals.
I strongly believe I've had very little trouble due to the car being driven every day and properly looked after (serviced)
I intend to put a lot more miles (km) on her over the next few years

Couldn't agree more - there are too many people on this thread telling you to pay less for a car they know nothing about except mileage - if you price based on mileage you will buy the wrong car - buy based on condition. Compared with all ferrari previously the durability of the 360 is remarkable.

That's because you never take it out of 1st gear

Sounds a crazy question, but does anyone park a 360 in the street? In London? Am keen to buy to use for the daily drive (which from this thread seems entirely possible in a 360) - but where I live there (row on row of bloody victorian terrace) there aren't any garages. NB there are DB9s, 911s, Vantages which don't seem to get scratched/spat on.

You should be OK as long as its not red- go for a nice low key TDF blue one..

I firmly believe Ferrari engines get better with use and used properly become looser and as a result quicker. Had a friend with a 35k 360 and it was fantastically quick and reliable. Well serviced and driven Ferrari's are better than people think.

Not many cars could with stand the constant revving most Ferrari engines endure, credit to Ferrari for creating such an engine!

I saw a Bugatti Veyron parked on the street in Mayfair a couple of weeks ago. Not sure I could have left something like that on the street.

Well done that man! Mine’s got 107,000 kms (66,000 miles) on it and is still going strong. I also get mine done regularly at Verdi and apart from replacement break pads and tryes it’s not had a lot of non scheduled mechanical work done. You will take a hit on resale but if you buy a high miler and put miles on it then you are buying it cheap and selling it cheap so you haven’t really lost out.
