If you'd like to go that way these are the list prices in Italy for a brand new one. The wait is a bit shorter and no VAT if you are going to take the car out of Italy (in Germany you pay but get it back later). Bringing it to the US no big deal, converting and related red-tape is another whole story. The Euro just got over the US-dollar so price-wise it may not be as sweat a deal right now

wow that looks good. Has anybody thought of buying a european car and bringing it to the US. Maybe we can find a company here to convert it to US specs? How bad a process could that be?

Oh, never mind.

We have some nice white 328s here on the CHAT but white does not do the 360 any justice. The blue interior does not help it either, same as the bordeaux red. YUK.

The price for the spider SP has mentioned is low because the car is in white on blue with absolutely no options. I think that the color white on blue has a lot to do with it.

I don't know if this is a good deal or not. Besides the F1 option, you have not added any other options to the car. You might add another 5K or 10K to the $215K? Also, with a December build you are getting a 2002 model year car. The 2003 models will probably have a Feb?March 2003 build date. If you could, would you rather wait to see what changes are made to the 2003 model?

It sounds good to me too. I still do not believe in paying premiums but at least this is not the $250K everybody else is asking.

..or WAS asking. Is the Spider market finally coming down ???

360 Spider arent worth 215k$+ , so after the hype is over , it will devaluate like a normal V8 spider ..

Both 209K and 215K are great prices for a US model and probably normal / high prices for Euro models. To give you an idea, my local dealer currently has a brand new (60 miles) 02 360 spider. They want 280K for it. Last time I looked at ferrarimarketletter, a spider was around 240-250K

S.P.: TOO good to be true!!!!!!!!! I was at Luxury Motors 2 weeks ago on a Saturday, looking at a 94 Lotus S4 that they had advertised. Close inspection revealed a VERY poor condition car, which they wanted $42,900.......it should have been a mid 20s car.

Both, my nephew and I, first impression of the place, considering the sales people and the customers, was that we where at some drug dealer's showroom in Florida. They have a great selection of cars, but I was turned off.

The next day I bought an 83 Boxer from the local Ferrari dealer.

Hey Tony

You might want to check out the 360 Spider at:

http://wwwheels.com/cfapps/car.cfm?ID=1756008&cfreferrer=

It only has 321 miles and is asking $209,000. It would seriously consider this Spider if I had the money, but I don't, so sad :-(

Take Care

I was offered a December build 360 F1 spider for $215,000. This is the lowest price I've heard so far. Will they be coming down lower than this or should I go with this deal?
