328 + 348 = 360?

Yeah, without getting into too many details on the specifics of the cars, do you think a 328 + 348 is a good trade for a 360? Assuming the 328 and 348 are in 'good' condition (not 100k mile cars, not 1k mile cars). And if so, what type of a 360 would it get you?

 

You'd have to give more specifics (age and miles on each along with colors since there's too much disparity to make a general assumption).

I would rather have the 328 & 348 (both fantastic cars) than just 1 360 (another fantastic car), but that's my opinion. I love the 348's.

 

Definitely need more details. If you look carefully you can find 360's for <$65K that are in decent shape/miles/service/etc. That would be selling the 328+348 a little cheap, IMHO.

Drew- 328 + 348 = 676, so you should be in great shape. Sorry, could not resist.

Two cars in the $30-50K range should equal one car in the $48-80K range, allowing for dealers wanting a 10% break on your trade and a 10% surcharge on their car, or 20%, regardless of how you think of it. Have a feeling you would do better to sell the cars yourself and then be ready with a handful of cash for your 360. Just more of a hassle, obviously.

Not an expert by any means, but I think the value on your 328 and 348 will hold better than the 360. 360's are still going down on the depreciation curve, are they not? If resale/value matter, why trade two stabilized/stabilizing assets for one that is still on the way down?

 

I doubt 360's will depreciate that much more, at least for a solid car. Then again probably the same for the 328's and the 348's

 

yr MAD
keep the 328 and 348 and when u have money buy a 360
i sold a few to upgrade and now im kicking myself
u will regret it

 

I have owned both a 348 & a 328 before my current 360 spider. I can assure you, I would gladly give up both for a 360 spider... no comparison in dependability, driving etc.. my 2 cents,

figure a ballpark of the 328 & 348 worth approx $70,000 + or - in real dollars unless something monumental/detrimental is about either. So use that as an idea of what kind of 360 is out there in that price range... a early-mid production 360 modena in good condition, may need servicing.

Again, my 2 cents & is probably meaningless Not a day goes by with my 360 spider that I have ever regretted getting rid of the 328.. The 348 was my first and if not for all the stupid design flaws I may of kept that one & been happy.

 

Thats kind of my logic. I drive my 328 as my daily driver and my 348 is stuck in MA, 1600 miles from me. I love the 328 but I'm kind of done with the little quirks for a daily driver. So I was thinking of getting the 360 to make it easier. I still have another classic that I would keep for when I need that fill. Maybe I'll trade them both in, maybe I'll just buy a cayman and keep the cars. I flip flop daily...

 

Drew, have you driven a 360? That may help you make your decision easier. I had a 308 and jumped to a 360 and freaking love it. Loved the 308 but would never go back.

 

yep. they just not even in the same ballpark..
Just boils down to the individuals preference... noone can tell another what he/she should like or prefer..

 

I'd say go for the trade. Actually, I would say go for the trade, add a few dollars and get an 02 or 03 360 spider. They are available for $85-95k asking (which I would guess indicates a $80-88k selling range).
Really great cars that would hold up to daily use without much fuss.

What about that!

I dropped the TR off for service again this morning. Wasn't running right. I think i'm done with the nuances of the older cars for a little while...

 

Have you driven a 360 or 430? I think it would make the decision easy.

 

HOLY BAD IDEA BATMAN!! SOCK! POW! BAM! lol

 

just what I need. Someone from the brotherhood to find me in the 360 section...

 

Are we that bad in this section? LOL

 

Yes, driven them both. Love the 430 the most.

my question is not just financial but if people think its worth it. I mean really, giving up three Ferrari's that are either at the bottom of their depreciation or close to it, to buy one highly depreciating asset? If I were an employee somewhere on a fixed income it definitely wouldn't make sense. But my logic is that I own my own business thats growing pretty quickly, so I'll be able to buy the others later in life if I really want them back...

 

I hope that you're going to buy a six speed manual, if you want less things to worry about.
