i have a friend that knows someone that can import me a 1999 360 modena F1 and have it certified for 135k wm hart: that might be a big possiblity. when time comes i will get in contact with you. i see nothing wrong at all with the nose of the 360. right now im having a house built and i wont settle till august so i dont want to touch my credit just yet. http://www.silverstorminc.com/home/pics5/ pictures of the house being built if anybody wants to take a look. martin J weiner: you wouldnt recommend getting a euro spec? do most people pay cash? finance or lease? I own my own business so another tax writeoff would be nice. any idea what kind of price i can be looking at in a year from now on a pre-owned? thanks for all the input guys Erick G | ||

There's a yellow Modena at Algar in Phila. Believe it was owned (briefly) by one of their very good customers, so i would not expect it to have been abused. I'm not enamoured of yellow cars myself, but a divorce is probably cheaper (and quicker) than waiting for a factory order. Algar is a reputable dealer; if you haven't visited, i'd be happy to introduce you. (No, i'm not getting anything for plugging them, but i have bought 6 F cars from them in 4+ years, with very few problems, and not one complaint).And while i agree with the difficulty of maintaining a black car, frankly, the 360, to my eyes, might look best in that color because it diminishes the impact of the nose treatment.Also, there is something sinister about black ferraris. | ||

Welcome Erick, I didn't have the patience (or the time at age 66) to wait so bought a 360 euro.At that time the "used" 360's were 200k and up.I love the car but wouldn't do it that way again.Good luck! | ||

Erick, If you get a low mileage car off the showroom, the car would still smell new. Prices will still be a bit higher than MSRP if you buy off the lot. But then, you don't have to wait very long. I heard that the 360 coupe production was cut to facilitate spider production. So the waiting period, if you want to order a coupe, would be long. Anyway, welcome aboard. | ||

Erick, Welcome! You wouldn't want to disrespect the official colors of the great city, Modena, Italy...I believe the color is Yellow! Seriously, any color on the 360 is gorgeous. | ||

Erick...welcome! Glad to have you "join in". You'll certainly learn a great deal here about the various models -- and there are quite a few 360 owners here as well that would be glad to answer any questions you might have. | ||

Hi I found this forum about 2 weeks ago I've been lurking around reading alot of very good info about ferrari's Hopefully within the next year or so i will become a proud owner of a 360 F1 Havent decided if i want brand new (i am very impatient) or pre owned I live in Baltimore MD, the closest dealer is FOW and then Philly.. Pre owned prices seem to be coming down a little and that definetly puts a smile on my face BUT then again the smell of a new car and not just any old car would be oh so sweet. My wife forbids me to get it in yellow (what does she know ) she loves the dark red metallic with white leather i love it as well, i dont care too much about color except for black (hard to maintain) if the price is right.. Hopefully i will get to know a few people here and learn as much as possible before i purchase this beauty. thanks again for listening to my little opening rant.. let the fun begin Erick G |
