Thanks Brian. I knew there was a very slight difference, just wasn't sure! |

While there is one definition of US car, there are several variations of Euro... so, the answer depends somewhat upon exactly which was the destination country. Primarily the only internal difference is a blower designed to reduce emissions for the first 90 secs after starting... it is turned off after that. I believe that's about it. |

Egad -- Luxury Cars of Palm Beach! Now, since I have an ongoing lawsuit with this company, I must speak carefully... but I strongly urge you to do *good* research *before* you deal with this company, or in fact any company in Florida. I thought I had done mine...

Are there any major internal differences b/w a Euro and a US delivered Ferrari? I notice on the American cars they have reflectors on each fender (unlike the Euro or Australian cars), and some American F40's look different to the Euro ones around the frontal area (more rubber stuff if you know what I mean). I assume this is to meet safety regs re: pedestrians? |

Coop,
That is a color called Grigio Alloy I think. Its kind of a blue/ silver hue. There is also a 'regular' silver and a darker silver color they call titanium. Thanks for those links. Luxury cars of Palm Beach (http://www.luxurycarspb.com)also has lots of Euros.

Coop, Tony,
Let's all three get together and save some bucks. There are a few dealers that sell multiple Euro 360's every month. We should work on them for a bulk deal. I'm looking for a 99 6 speed manual titanium coupe. What kind of price would that currently bring (US/ Euro)?

Hi, I'm a Newbie looking to buy a 360 for not more than sticker. What about Canada? I can't seem to find a used Canadian car. And I guess Canadian Dealers are only allowed to sell within their province.
BTW. I can't wait to participate in this forum vs. the Mercedes one (Have a CLK55). They act like children. (Which they probably are...)
Tony, let me know when you are ready. Maybe we can get them in together and save some money. |

Agreed... those are the two key issues... plus one more... make sure you have a competent mechanic with the appropriate equipment not too far away (some Ferrari dealerships will NOT service Euros). For the 360, certain repairs (even maintenance items) require an SD2 diagnostic machine.
It was a no-brainer for me... I saved about $40K when I bought mine *and* I have a great independent Ferrari mechanic real close (Norwood's; people from all over the country ship their cars here for service). I have had some minor should-be-warranty work that I've had to pay for... but that hasn't even totaled the interest earned on that $40K!
Better knock on some wood, though, ;^)

The upside is, you will save tons of money and can pay for possible warranty items out of pocket. Bottom line after 3 years you will end up on the plus and the Euro vs US gap will get smaller and smaller by the year once the car is used! |

The downside to buying a euro is that you will have no warranty. |

Is it worth buying a euro 360 over a US 360? Why are they so much cheaper than the US cars? What would be the negatives of buying and owning a euro car? |
