Pros and Cons of a 360

[RedRad]

New to this gassing station and thinking a 360 might be the next purchase, my first Ferrari for use as a second car for road use and a few Ferrari track days.

Anyone been there and done it ??

Anyone have the perfect car looking for a new home ?

Thanks

They represent excellent value for money. It still looks and feels like a relatively modern Ferrari. I could possibly part with my one...

I used to track the 360.

Carlo at TopGear Cars near Edinburgh has a perfect spec 360 for occasional track use with the sports seats, harness, fire extinguisher, roll bar, braided hose and race pads.

If you are keen on doing track days get yourself a Challenge Stradale great track/road car plus holds it value better than stock Modena.

I would agree the normal 360 isn't the ideal track toy the CS is a better plan for that.
Generally though for occasional use and a bit of fun the 360 is a great car.
reliable comfortable fun etc etc

have you thought about a 355?

[Modena Scotland]

Agreed but a CS costs twice as much......

[RedRad]

Thanks for all your comments. i agree the CS looks a great bit of kit but the budget is well short of cs prices.

Looked at 355 but for a bit extra the 360 looks a more modern style which i prefer.

I will take a look at topgear.

anyone have any 360 running cost experience, seems the clutch has been replaced on many low mileage cars ?

I have just bought a 2000 Modena off a friend for £35k. It has been a great car and i'm told never had a problem. serviced by good people at the right time and kept garaged all the time. It needs stone chips doing, but he told me to expect on average £1500 per year for service from a good independent.

Insurance wasn't too bad as i have a fleet policy with work and personal cars. Its done just under 30,000 miles.

I think for £35k i have a whole lot of car and my first Ferrari - very excited. Will only be using it for sunny days and weekend blasts though. My other half thinks i should drive it back to Portugal to show my mum - be a bit nervous doing it in the Ferrari. Did it in my DB7 GT though.

I think its very good value for money.

Hi Thanks for the info. Sounds like you have a great deal there. Did you get the F1 or manual box ?

Yours sounds like the lowest price 2000 car by far.

As for driving to Portugul sound like a great few days to get to know your new car.

I bought from a friend who wanted to sell for cash quickly. He is moving away from the UK (maybe sensible) and just wanted a quick cash deal. He offered it for £45k but no takers and so he finally said he'd sell it to me for £35k and i bought it. I didn't actually want it at first and agreed as he needed the cash. I'm not a Ferrari, Lambo kind of person. Bit too flashy for me, but now i have it, i have to say it is a lot of fun and quite exciting. It is F1, which going up is actually really bad. Down is not a problem. I'm told i can upgrade the F1 software so i will look into that.

So instead of upgrading the DB9 to a DBS, i added a 360. My g/f loves it and wants to drive it. I think maybe .......
