Hi all! I'm ready to take the plunge.

Hi all, this is my first post and since I'm ready to join the Ferrari family, I figured it was time to jump on board (get it, message board?....) and ask those who know more then I for guidance in having the best Ferrari ownership possible.

I've narrowed down my personal preference (and financial capacity) to two different models.
A 550 Maranello or a 360 Modena.

This is where I differ from some, I'm not concerned with miles whatsoever.
My only requirements are interior color, transmission type, and price.

I'm only interested in tan or black interiors.
Transmission I really only wanted a gated manual, unless its a late model 360 F1.
and price I'm trying to stay under $60,000.
Everything else goes.

The reason I'm not concerned with miles is I'm not looking for a garage queen, I plan to use this as a secondary to my daily driver, basically as long as its not raining out, this is going to be the daily, but since I live in WA, that doesn't mean as much. lol.

I'm found two cars (one of which sold before I could even contact the dealership) on Dupont which fit my bill.
The 360: 2001 Ferrari 360 F1 For Sale - 957831 - duPont REGISTRY
The (sold) 550: 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello For Sale - 1073953 - duPont REGISTRY

In the long run I think I'd be happier with a 360, but that's where I'm looking to this great community for advise.
I was going to post a wanted ad but it said I didn't have permission, so I assume that's because I needed to post here first.
So does anyone have any input on how to best go about owning my dream car?
