    What are the good sides and what are the bad sides of owning a 360?

    It is a modern car with modern technology. It is fast and more practical. I also understand that the major service is less expensive because it does not need an engine-out procedure.

    Any inputs?

    Yes:) you can drive with the 360 to the ALDI supermarket or Mc Donalds and nobody cares about or ask you all the Ferrari questions - cause there are thousands on the road:D
    Remember the pics from the Racing Days....a few HUNDREDS in a row :(
    Thats why the prices dropped so badly down on the second hand market!
    65K and up you can get a 360 now! 110K and up 2 years ago.

    Yep, just like the 7000+ made Testarossa's................

    And absolutly no kidding, (ask Lenny), last mondayevening we went for a "snack" at the McDonalds here in Roermond and what was standing in front?? A red Testarossa!! Owner and his wife came out with a Milkshake, sat down in the car, drove away with little spinning wheels.
    People at the terrace were laughing and calling him "loser"...........................................................................................................................sorry Wolfie, it sounds unbelieveble for you but it is really true.

    Forget the 360s...prices will drop in the next months on 355 level, the difference between 355 and 360 was a bit to small. I'd wait for the first 430s dropping down next year when the new Dino is coming out. It's worth the money and a much better car.

    And...that 60 000 km car...never ever. Such a high mileage can be hardly sold by the next owner...

    Pro : great car, great design (no pimp image), daily driver and race car

    Con : it's not a 430, pro 80 K cheaper than a 430

    Hi Ton,

    Damn good thread as this is exactly where my head is right now...I'm thinking of a 360 myself. I can't afford a modern 12-cylinder and for once in my life I want to own a (relatively) modern car.

    PROS: Technology from the current millennium. Nice lines. Prices coming down. Service costs, I believe.

    CONS: Clarkson says it's a real handful to drive and really just wants to "kill the meat in the driver's seat" (his words not mine). Nevertheless, I will not be pushing the car to the limits that he does! The car is common - it's almost not that special any more. It's big.

    Let's talk Ton - maybe we can get a better deal for a pair! ;)

    Greetings from Heathrow - just arrived back in the UK :D

    Regards, MARK
