Gated Manual 360 Coupes - Modena Market

Tell me it's TDF and I would look at selling my NSX for it....

 

Seems to be a well sorted 360 but with no sale…

According to those who commented on his listing (which I thought was on here) he was priced according if not slightly less than he should have been when compared to other listings.

My take right now is that I think sellers have jumped the gun a little bit too much in terms of their increased asking prices over the last 12 months. The only manuals selling through are cherry ones (popular color/options and recent major service done) and are probably being nabbed by those with more money than sense who refuse to let the market come down a bit.

I've been watching the dark red one with racing seats since last year. It was $85k when I saw it first listed, then jumped to $104 (not sure if that was result of a speculator grabbing it) and now today I see he dropped down to $99. And he's selling hard with his description on eBay.

 

At nearly $160,000 USD ($200,000 CDN) this is fully mental:

2002 Ferrari 360 PRICE IN USD for $158,770 in Mont-royal | autoTRADER.ca

 

I bought my daily driver Volvo from that guy via ebay and the car was absolutely not as advertised. He said it was free of dents, scratches, swirls, etc. and the car came with 8 dents, a cracked windshield, lots of scratches, and a bunch of other things (it had mold in it). Overall the car was nice and I've made it nicer by dumping money into it but the problem was that it was absolutely not as advertised in the ad and I paid extra for it based on the condition that he said it was in. I would not buy another car from him, especially a Ferrari, based on his word and his ads. I will say that he was pleasant enough to deal with but the dishonesty in the ad for my car left a bad taste in my mouth. If he had just said the problems that the car had, I would have paid the right price and not been totally disappointed when the car came looking like something completely different than what was listed in the eBay ad.

Look, I own four Ferraris and have owned 8 in my lifetime. I have never bought one that didn't need something to bring to my level of near perfection (I will admit that I'm OCD) but reading this ad, in light of my own purchase from the guy, I can't believe that someone will not be disappointed if they buy the car based on his word and his ad. And I am sure that the seller, Bruce, has no idea that I own several Ferraris or I'm involved in the Ferrari world.

Anyways, this is your public service announcement. You have been warned.

 

Holy smokes

 

The Rosso Barchetta car is mine. Bruce is my friend and just listing for me. The car is as nice as any 5k mile 360. It had clear bra on the entire front end. I removed it the paint is mint and original underneath. It is available for a PPI anywhere anyone wishes. Feel free to call me personally if anyone has any questions. BTW, I will do 90k only for an fchatter.

I want what they're smoking! LOL!

 

That price is coming down fast now. Right around 92k-ish.... wish it wasn't too rich for my blood...

 

Fwiw the car is listed on fchat as well, and the seller here signs his posts as Ron.

You realize there are some listed in the states asking the same. He is simply matching prices

 

That's not the car to which I was referring. Read my post.

Shmluisfc, you should list your car yourself. It would come off as a more genuine ad from an enthusiast owner instead of something that sounds like over the top claims from a used car salesman. Owner enthusiasts carry the day better than car salesmen.

 

I don't have an ebay account I use regularly. I listed it on Hemmings myself. Bruce just took my add and made an ebay add for me. It's a lot of work to put it on ebay and he's a friend. The car really is a gem in every way.

He will also do right by you for your Volvo deal.. Would you like me to get involved? It would be my pleasure and I'm sure he'll work with you.

 

I appreciate your offering to help but it's okay. I think that Bruce lost money on the car and overall, he was pleasant enough to deal with.

My issue is based almost solely that he advertised the car as absolutely perfect cosmetically and a few other things, exactly like the wording in your ad (although it makes sense that your car actually should be perfect cosmetically), and it wasn't. It would cost me more to make right than it's worth spending on the car (close to $1k in all to fix everything). The big problem was that I paid up to get his car versus two local cars for a slightly lower price, one year newer, and with many fewer miles because I figured it was worth it to get a cosmetically perfect car. When the car came, it was not perfect like advertised and exactly like the other cars I looked at that I could have had for less. When I texted Bruce about the dents and scratches, he just sort of shrugged it off, as if he never represented the car as "absolutely dent and scratch free" and 8 dents, some scratches, and a small crack in the windshield is to be expected. As I said, it's a nice enough car but had he represented the car as it was, I would have known exactly what I would be getting and would have paid accordingly or gone with one of the local cars.

In the end, it's not a huge deal but it does leave a bad taste because it wasn't nearly as was advertised. Going forward, it's impossible for me to look at any of Bruce's ads and feel like the car is as he says it is. Yes, caveat emptor, as always, but I believe that the world needs a little trust to make it go round. Unfortunately, trust is like a piece of paper; once it's wrinkled up, it can never be made perfect again.

GLWS. You've been on this site for a long time and you know what buyers look for. I am sure that it's a nice car. It's more that I just can't trust Bruce's ads based wholly on my personal experience.

the great 9 8

H, ppI was great in the

 

I understand where you're coming from. Sorry that happened to you.

MY 360 is in MY possession, and it is borderline showroom, if that's believable. It really is. Finders fee for anyone who gets me over 90. The car is absolutely is spectacular shape. Carbon seats, Barchetta color, and the gate make it awesome. The service level of this car makes it feel like a 5k mile car. Super tight and drives amazing. I am well traveled in the Ferrari world.

 

I am the seller for the Ferrari 360 referred to above. When I read the post from above it seems to point to that I was the seller of the Volvo. I just wanted to clarify that that person is not me. My 360 is in mint condition, it is listed on Ferrari Chat and Cars.com. Ron.

Just saw this one on eBay. 34k miles. $88888 asking. Love the black/Bordeaux interior with the G Alloy.

I would want to know why it needed an engine out service. That's a red flag on a 360. But it looks like a really nice car.

 

You've got excellent taste, Kev

Mine is close to this, but not quite. I keep looking on eBay for those Bordeaux seats with the black inserts. Would love to swap those for my solid Bordeauxs.

 

Agreed.... If it actually had an engine out service. My bet it was listed by a salesman who doesn't know enough about 360s to realize they don't need engine out service for belt.

 

Highly likely, which is still a red flag, albeit a different one: what kind of service was it, what did it include, etc.? Are they liars or are they just ignorant?

If they don't even know that a 360 doesn't have an engine out service, how can you even trust what they tell you about the service?

Unfortunately, some of these dealer often do the bare minimum of service just to tack extra on the price and get it out the door but the quality of service is more important than the service itself. Just ask all the guys who bought cars "completely serviced" and priced that into their purchase only have to do it all over again less than a year later.
