Hi Everyone

Looking at buying a used 360 and am looking to begin researching them but dont really know where to start and was wondering what my options are.

I can obviously buy privately but I wondered how the whole ferrari network of dealers fitted together. There are obviously official dealers, and am I correct in thinking their is a second tier of dealers too? What are the benefits going down this route?

If I do buy privately can anyone recommend the best steps to ensure I am getting a good car and not something that is going to breakdown all the time I would appreciate it.

Thanks for all your help and I'm sorry if any of the above seems stupid.

Be prepared to see plenty of dogs, there's plenty out there. Do a Vosa check on any cars before you even go and look. Don't worry about mileage too much buy on condition and history (especially history). Don't believe a word you are told about these cars until you see the proof yourself.
A bit cynical I know but when I looked for my car I had to walk away from a few cars that were described as mint.

Try Tim at Walkersport - I bought mine from him. He knows a lot about them and his cars are immaculate.

Either Tim at Walkersport or Nigel at Carrs Ferrari, Exeter.
Both top guys with excellent reputations.

Bought my 360spider from Hollingworth in Kidderminster. Fab car, patchy service. make a list of the essentials and desirables and eliminate those that dont fit. You will likely make compromises. I opted for a different colour, which I love, a manual gearbox (preferred it to F1) and have a tubi exhaust which makes the standard set up sound tame. For me its the best upgrade. Go with your instinct and take the plunge. To drive a 360 is unbeleivable.

Walkersport has a good buying guide which will be a helpful place to start.
