WTB a 360 spider, 6-speed manual. Titanium silver with black interior, Daytona seats. Want the best car available. Gonna drive it. Hey...all you can do is ask. Its got to be out there.
I Have 2004 Red over Black interior. 6 Speed Spider, 8,400 miles, I am second owner. Factory modular wheels, sheilds, Daytona seats, brand new Pirelli tires, just serviced at Algar... Make offer??
I found a titanium / black coupe with daytona seats, '99, low miles, clean history. What do you think it's worth? I know you want a spider, but thought I'd get your opinion on price. Seems like the Spiders are fetching more, right?
I just took a Grigio titanium/black 6-speed spider in trade from a guy in Canada. The car just finished a major service at Ferrari of Alberta last week. I was planning on leaving it in Canada on consignment with a dealer, but I am capable of importing to USA and getting a title. If you are interested, please let me know. The KMs converted to miles are about 22k. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I think spiders sell for a little more. I haven't really focused on coupes. 6-speeds appear to be $10k or so more than the F1 cars as thats popular now. Nice later 6-speed cars (5 in last few months) have sold for $75-85k. I do see some (mainly Ferrari dealers) asking over $110k. I think that's ambitious for 360s. I would of pay $90k plus for the right car. Much over $100k your in F430 land. The later years are a better choice for me as most issues had been addressed over the model run and nice options (modular wheels, challenge grills, etc) are more prevalent. I would think the average early coupe is a $65-75k car
BTW, over 7000 360s were made; quite a few 6-speeds. I think with a little research and patience you can find the right car
Looks like a nice car. I did speak with them. They're asking $35k more than any car I've seen sell. Average miles, average spec. Nothing special about the car that I can see to warrant that asking price. GLWS
I wonder if that's really true. When I was shopping for my 360 a couple of months ago, I saw mostly spiders. The coupes were relatively rare, but I did not see any price differences between the two models. There were just fewer choices on the coupes. On manuals, yes, a definitive premium Beside the update campaigns, which non-updatable issues were addressed in later years?
That's why I like the later cars, not a consideration. Already worked out. I'm not an authority on 360s but my research leads me to prefer later cars as opposed to early ones. Most cars refine over the production cycle and this appears to be the case with 360s.
I've seen the car in person and spoken to them about it. The salesmen flat out told me the price premium is from the fact it's a 3 pedal car. The train seems to be leaving the station in terms of values on true manual cars. If you find a good one best to jump on it fast.
I think thats generally true, but in the case of the 360 I was surprised how meticulous Ferrari has been about bringing the earlier models up to the same standards as the later models. I saw pages of of records of update campaigns performed on my car, with no campaigns showing as outstanding. Which makes it likely that the earlier updated models are in any way inferior to the later models. My impression is that as soon Ferrari developed improvements in the manufacturing cycle, they immediately applied them to the cars already in the field. Quite impressive, actually. I don't know if other automakers are equally diligent. I am not an expert either, but I did look into it when buying, and about the only difference I am aware of is the lack of integrated pre-cats in some of the early cars. Which may not be a bad thing.
I am no expert either but in my research to find the right car I found the following to be true: - The 3 pedal 360 spiders stopped production in 2004 while the F1 Modena continued to 2005 so 2004 represented the best manual that Ferrari produced. - >2002 included some important "factory" updates, mainly the variators, motor mounts, transmission mounts - Early Spiders have no access to engine-compartment subframe attachment bolts and so require more labour for some types of routine work. ....and then some
While true, most of the things you listed have long ago been fixed on most early cars. Many of the early cars have had the F1 ECUs replace as well. As a result, the differences are small but as noted in the last point there are still a couple of differences. It is important to note that the last issue you list was only the very earliest cars and "routine" is clutch replacement so not done that often. I would say to find something that meets your desires in color and the options that are hard to replicate, like shields. Then buy the car. You will have a ton of fun driving while others are pontificating about if that car or this car is better. GLWS
On my coupe at least, all those areas were specifically addressed in the update campaigns years ago. That's definitely one of the things to check when buying the earlier models and can be easily verified through the dealer records. You may wish to add that information to the "Shopping for a used 360" thread. Such as?
No relation, but came across this one that seems to tick the boxes you are looking for. http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/647152799/overview/ Same car was also listed on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-Ferrari-360-/141768622640?nma=true&si=twtaPQJOKCHnsL0dQi4Z2Slk8QA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
You are correct; that car ticked all boxes. Saw the ad and communicated with the owner via email. I was traveling in Europe on vacation at the time and hoped to put a deal together but wasn't quick enough, somebody else got the car. Seller was very nice and a true gentleman. I just missed that one. Ironically I was visiting the Ferrari factory.
To name two: - F1 HYDRAULIC PUMP RELAY FAILURE: All but the very late cars had an underrated relay that controlled the F1 systems hydraulic pump. If it fails, the pump will run continuously until it burns out. Theres an easy fix: Replace the original relay with a 50-amp version. It should cost $100-200 at most - From Assy #43089 they started fitting a later style siren that has a new style battery. My car is 11 years old and the siren works as it should. - Starting from Assy. # 41814(360 only) , F- started fitting a battery jump wire on the negative side so there would be constant juice flowing from the battery to the alarm siren. Please note that all the information that I have written in this post is me just simply regurgitating information provided by the other wonderful members of this forum. These were my search results that resulted in me only wanting to buy a 2002 or newer. I looked at a dozen cars and most original owners weren't careful with their records. I found the second and third owners more particular about their record keeping. Not a single pre-2000 car had any records on the variators being updated and that was really important to me or else I would subtract $3K from the price and have it done right after purchase.
