Time to get back into a 360...does anyone know this car?

Let us know the results of inspection...

 

Looks like a good deal if it checks out. I support anyone who has 911 in their screen name! I thought I was the only 911 lover hiding in plain sight on the Ferrari board...

 

2x on the good deal and PPI comment.

 

Wow, that's really a great deal. Good luck.

 

I take offense to that comment- what about me?



For the OP- the car looks like a good deal if it checks- lower price may largely be due to the color and F1 tranny- doesn't necessarily mean there is some bad mechanical item lingering and the guy is trying to move it out at a low price...

I have a 355 spider and still think of my former 360- but love the 355....I still think of my old 911s too- I love them all...too little money/space/time

 

Looks really good from here. Get a PPI nonetheless.

 

What ever the PPI unearths, walk back off the price, probably get that for cheaper than a 3.2 carrera.... which goes to show that the 911 prices are just plain stupid. I think a silver and black 360 is perfectly understated and gorgeous. Good luck.

 

$59k?

Thats a winner to me.

 

I've got an Immaculate Spider for not much more....fully serviced and turn key

+ Daytonas & shields.....hmmm, you have some choices to make.....not bad problems to have...

 

That is correct- excluding 930s, there is no way a clean 3.2 911 is worth what some people are asking- as nice as they are built and reliable, too many made to be up there in price and the driving experience...I'd use my soft calculation that a low mileage/clean 3.2 is a $30-35K "driving experience" in 2017 dollars, not $50-60K++...

I don't know about the OP, but I'm a convertible guy, so I would say find some way to scrounge up some more money to make this silver 360 spider work!!! There could be deferred maint on the 360 coupe vs. my guess is not much on this spider, meaning your dollars out the door when the dust settles isn't much diffent yet this spider seems to offer so much more (I'm not affiliated with the 360 spider seller- I'm just saying the spider is the better deal given the available info up to this point...)

 

My guess is the original poster saw a sub $60K 360 and started doing some math/budget calcs and is now thinking of making the plunge back into ferrari ownership. If someone likes cars and a deal that is reasonable from a purchase price standpoint comes up (in this case, <$60K), often they make the move. The "problem" is posting a question like this on a forum like F-chat where there are people like me that can easily spend other peoples money and start advising on different (i.e. more expensive) potential acquisitions (Jeff's 360 spider ). But we mean well- knowing what I know on the importance of maint (and the cost to make things right if they are not), and the incremental value I would personally place on a convertible, I can say Jeff's car is the better buy (again IF the original poster wants a convertible)- it would be a good idea to try to come up with the difference in initial purchase price for a more satisfying ownership experience (In my opinion anyway)

 

I'm sure some of you "friends" could help the OP make his decision

 

And me

 

We should start a new club and call it "Porsche Club of Ferrari Chat"

 

Im in. Lets count.

 

Nice looking car. Same year as mine, with 10K less miles, and about the same price.

No matter how great they say it is, and how wonderful they say their inspection is suppose to be, get a PPI done by someone who knows Ferrari's. Also what if any records do they have on this car, hopefully ones which show an annual service. The cost of fixing a few things that may need to be fixed can add up fast. Believe me I have the bill to prove it. Also have about $10K in your back pocket to pay for any surprises you get after purchase.

This car is sixteen years old with about 32K miles on it. On average it has been driven about 2K miles per year. Good periodic service would have changed fluids and checked any rubber parts.

Oh yeah. How old are the tires? After I bought my car I found out they were seven to eight years old. A new set cost about $1K.

If you buy it, and get it running well, you are going to have some fun times driving it.

Oh yeah, one other thing. A radar detector might be a good idea. These cars get up to speed fast. So far I have been a good boy, but the urge is always with you when driving.

Good luck

 

$59,000 seems cheap.

 

The OP isn't subscribed so I could not send him a PM

 

??

 

Have you looked at your pictures? Or avatar for that matter...

 

LoL, the Avatar can be very persuasive! I relisted with only 2 "friends" the original is still a few pages back with a 3rd. Are the "friends" too much or just enough?

 

So there are plenty of us 911 fans who also love the 360, great to know

 

I have no problem with them.
