Looking for a 360F1 in NE (CT preferred)

Hi NE FChatters,

The driving season will soon come to an end and some may consider selling their 360F1s at season's end so I'm starting this thread to express my ongoing interest in buying one.

I am doing it in this section as I am not too interested in traveling cross-country. Not so much because I don't enjoy the adventure of such a pursuit, but the to-ing and fro-ing of phone calls, inability to look the seller in the eye, mis-interpretation of condition, the cost of flying, the transportation cost and risk, arranging a PPI by phone with a dealer I don't know, etc results in too many variables which I'd rather avoid.

There are three 360F1s in which I am interested which are potentially being sold in Connecticut (great!) but for one reason or another nothing has transpired yet.

Below is my spec list. I will generally consider something else where I state 'preferred'; 'MUST' speaks for itself.

Specs for the 360F1:
-Clean Carfax a MUST
-Modena preferred
-Red preferred
-US spec preferred (if Euro MUST have all relevant EPA, etc docs)
-Tan or Black interior preferred
-Sticky removed preferred
-TCU ungraded a MUST if earlier model
-Variator recall MUST be done
-History of yearly/regular service a MUST
-Clutch life over 50% preferred
-Under 30000miles preferred
-No repaint (except bumpers) preferred
-Does not need to be a show car, but don't want a DD either. Overall condition MUST be very good
-Unmodified (re: stereo, spoilers, etc) preferred, but can live with aftermarket exhaust and tasteful aftermarket wheels
-MUST be OK with a PPI before any money changes hands

I'm willing to pay a fair price based on condition, meeting the above specs, and what the market is asking for these cars at that point in time.

I know I've left things out or not considered certain things, but as they come to mind I will add them. I am not in a rush, but if I could buy something this year that would be great.

If you know of any cars fitting the above description please shoot me a PM or reply to this thread.

Thanks in advance!

 

Another item...
Challenge rear grill preferred but not essential

If you know of someone who owns a 360F1 who may wish to sell, please let me know. Even if it's outside NE but comes with a personal FChatter recommendation, it will be considered.

Thanks

 

Just 'refreshing' the thread so people know I'm still looking.

 

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the link! Yeah, the price is unrealistic. I've noticed that with patience you can find 430s for ballpark same price (even lower if you really keep a look out).

I very much want a 360, but if it's a choice between a 360 and Gallardo for the same money, the 360 is coming second in that race.

Thanks again very much for the link. Please post any new 360 sales you may see!

Cheers

 

I don't know you either, but you've made a few assumptions about this 360 and the condition of 430s which I've seen. I'd rather focus on any info relevant to my search for a 360F1 (not 430) rather than debate the merits of my comparison, which was merely to indicate that this 360 is overpriced.

 

Good for you. If comparative 360 and 430 values are of interest to you, maybe you should start your own thread.

 

Fantastic! Thanks for the referral Rob, I'll give them a call tomorrow to get some additional details.

Cheers!
