Anyone have a 360 CS for sale?

[birdcage]

I am looking to buy a CS, essentially the same as the one recently sold by Nick Cartwright, Red with the red seats etc.

There are seemingly none currently for sale however, does anyone know of any Challenge's that might be coming onto he markit?

Thanks

Thank you, they both look great, especially the Forza one but I should have said I want a sub 10,000 mile one.

+1

Why does it have to be such a low mileage, these cars are now at least 5 years old and Bebs can verify they do not self destruct after 100k never mind 10k!

Indeed. Its a car - it needs to be driven
They are solid motors.

[birdcage]

I agree, a better way of looking at it then perhaps is that I have a budget of 100k and for the right car am happy to go up to that.

[Bebs]

Understood. Good luck finding the right car for you. Excellent choice.

Now if you wanted a black CS Jason is selling his think it has 7500mls 2005 car it is fantastic

I'd reiterate what has been said above; cars with little use may end up causing you more hassle.

Totally agree - my Strad gets driven all over europe annually, and as such clocks up the mileage

I've had her almost 3 years (6 years old in June), she cruises to the Cote d'azur and back, around the Alps, Spain, Nurburgring, Monaco GP every year and never moans!!

Sorry but all this mileage stuff is starting to become a joke - I think owners are more concerned about residuals than driving the car

A 360CS shares the same engine as the 360, albeit a number of changes including the remapping of the ECU's & TCU's, plus the extras. But as the engine is the heart and soul of the car, and most likely to show signs of wear,if not serviced correctly, then the mileage issue should primarily be focussed on the engine. Thus with rebuilds & replacements within an acceptable price, even stratospheric mileages (100K+) shouldn't mean the end of the world - so stop worrying about mileages!

On the same topic, I saw a lovely strad today and it lives in storage. When asked about the car, the 'guardians' said that the car is only used a few weekends a year! The owner prefers it to be locked away as its such a special machine - What a waste of such a beautiful car - I dare say when someone else owns the car and gives it a good thrashing for the first time, the poor car won't know what hit it!

[birdcage]

I don't think the mileage thing is a joke, it surely comes down to personal preference, and what's the harm in protecting residuals, especially if you actually want to sell the car.

The Nick Cartwright one sold in days, the others will hang around for months like it or not.

I know of some modern Ferraris have had their entire suspension replaced after 40,000 miles, even if the engine isn't made of chocolate.

Also someone's got to wear the replacement cost of those ceramic brakes at some point, that won't be fun...

Of course drive the cars, but get it serviced properly before storage or you drive it and Bobs your uncle...

I totally agree with regards to mileage.
My car feels better and better as the miles go on.

39k and counting, the bulk of which i have done in the last 2 and a half years (about 32k ish.)

Servicing is a little more as i do it more often but aside from that she's a better car now than 3 years ago.


If you're planning to actually drive it then why bother with low miles?
The premium you pay will only go out of the window as soon as you use it.

my cs has 23k miles and is a joy to drive. There are very few cars that have needed ccm discs changing and most of them were down to faulty discs . you can read all the wear % via sd2/sd3 so stop worrying and start driving

[POORCARDEALER]

The cars are for driving BUT try selling a higher mileage Fezza, its a nightmare.......I had a 60K 1988 328, way the "buyers" talked you would have though I was selling powdered asbestous to their children..............and I agree they drive better with miles on their back
