Opinions on this 360 Spider?

Hi all, I'm trying to do my best due diligence on my next car and I found this to basically be EXACTLY what I am looking for. Is it priced right? Does anybody know the car? Anything I should be considering? Thoughts!?

Thanks in advance my fellow Fchat peeps!

Looks very nice. A PPI is a must.

I think the price is right considering all the options (as you would be adding) would prob cost about $15K. Did it have the major service? That could be worth another $5K.

If this is the EXACT of what you want, I would get a PPI then pull the trigger. Very nice looking.

Best of luck

 

Belt service was just done on this one due to the passage of time and obviously not mileage. Also, He is guessing that the clutch has about 75% left on it. A PPI should tell.

 

Look at it another way: You prob would need to add about $15K - $20K to get a diff car to be the "same" as this one. That turns this car into a $95K range + discount another $5K into the asking price = $90K car.

Can you find an 03 spider with the same STOCK specs for around $85K - $90K and turn it into EXACTLY what you want? I think that will take quite a while. If it is truly EXACTLY what you wanted then how much is that "EXACTLY" worth? I went through the same thing and decided to pay a $5K premium for getting EXACTLY what I wanted and smiled the rest of the way

BTW: I live 1 hr away but could look at this car for you sometimes when I am going that way - if you want?

IMO - Best of luck

 

No other comments or thoughts guys??

 

I like it! Not a fan of the wheels however, but that's just personal preference; I like stock better. Other than that, it's beautiful! If it's what you desire, go for it; you only live once.

Good luck.

When I saw the comment about the wheels I was expecting far worse. They actually look ok. I would slap the 430 wheels on there and you are rockin!!

Looks like a descent car. The seats look a little "soft", towards the back of the actual seat, looks mooshed.

If PPI checks and as you say belts were done, offer them $3k less and see what happens.

Looks like CF air intake covers, nice touch.

Good luck.

 

Yep! Carbon everywhere. Doors, door sills, instrument cluster, center console. Pretty much everywhere the aluminum used to be. The wheels are 19 in the front and 20 in the back. Is that odd?! Says the "stance" has been adjusted. I'm not familiar with that

 

What about the wheels. The choices are Pirelli P-Zero 325/25 ZR20 in the rear and complimentary 235/35 ZR 19 in the front. OR, the original Ferrari Modular Factory wheels and tires with only 2,400 miles on them.

I'm just not too sure which ones i would prefer. I know the factory are 18" so the 19/20" sound appealing. however, the mix match is a little odd.

Who would choice which ones???

 

I like the car a lot. Of course I'm a little partial. I also like the factory Modular wheels. I don't know how your roads are but I have to restore the factory height. Love the carbon inside as well. If PPI checks out then good luck. Hope to move up to one as well.

 

I would take the 18" modular wheels/tires . The 20" and 325mm tires are total overkill for a 400hp motor. Also you have more chance of punctures and tire damage due to the minimal profile tires

 

I think he is talking about a ride height adjustment to make the car sit lower.

 

buy it.

 

nice car - low miles - priced well - nice options, but not OEM ('ok' if you want them, a deduct if you don't)

PPI and buy!

PS: get a radar detector - the cops will LOVE the FLY...

 

I like the CF interior but could live without the yellow piping around the seats. I like the wheel style but don't care for the chrome finish. Brushed center with polished barrel looks best IMHO.

Looks like a good car overall.

Go with your gut feeling. It is never wrong...usually not wrong. Good luck.
