25,000 on my 360

I just reached the 25,000 mile mark in my 2004 360 6-speed. It runs better than the day I purchased it!

I've got 34k miles. They do run better when driven. Just wonder when the downhill slide will start? 70K? 80K?

 

Just hit 24,444.

The car goes and goes!!!

Love it!!!

 

keep going, I saw 33700 on my speedo on the weekend

 

Mine has 88,000 miles on it. I challenge you to find a nicer example.

 

Let me know when you're ready to sell.

 

A nice start. 57020 on mine. Compliments all the time.

 

20,944 here. I've put close to 3k in 4 months.

Curt you back in town?

 

41k and counting on my 430

 

You guys are awesome!!

 

With almost 90k have u been changing out tired parts? Suspension pieces etc... Curious how they age.

 

Just hit 20K on Tuesday. '04 360. I pulled over and stood next to the car for 2 mins. The wheels did not fall off, the engine did not start to eject flames, and no oil started shooting out of the top like a Texas oil well (knock on wood). I got back in and continued to smile a big I love this car smile

Yup.

 

Congrats on the 25k mile mark!

 

I drive my 360 about twice a week. Driving home yesterday I started thinking about the depreciation on a 2003 per year and the cost of putting miles on the car. I figured on about $5K in depreciation per year (just a guess based on the price change per year) and I have no idea on the cost difference of a 2003 360 with 25K in miles, vs 35K in miles etc.

Then my thought was "well I will just drive it until the wheels fall off and it has ALOT of miles" . Then what will it be worth?????

For only occasionally driving, I am putting on about 8K in miles a year, currently up to 33K in miles.

 

Many, many components have been replaced on my car, some several times. I completely rebuilt the engine from the bare block, etc. Like I said, I challenge anyone to show me a nicer example!

So gratifying to see at least a few of our cars being driven over the 10k mile threshold! I've had Porsches for years and I've never heard anyone refer to a 25k mile Porsche as a high mileage car. After three years of Ferrari ownership I'm still amazed at the obsession so many Ferrari owners have with mileage. Having now experienced my 360 6-speed for three years and 16.6k miles (I purchased it with 8.4k miles), I can say that Ferraris are far more robust than people generally give them credit for. I'll take a Ferrari that's been driven at least 2k per year and properly maintained over a low mileage garage queen any day!

 

31k on my '04 6 speed, each mile is better than the last

 

I broke 12K tonight, getting there!

 

Here is mine from last night '04 6-speed spider. Bought it with approx 4k on the clock in fall of '07

Must need a re-tub at that mileage!

 

27,000 mi on mine last week and plan to put a lot more in the years to come. Only minor repairs from not being driven by previous owners
O2 sensors
Radiator hoses
Roll over valve
Power steering belt

 

I bought my 2004 360 F1 to drive! I have tracked it 5 times drive it at least 2 times a week. It had 14k when purchased and now has 21K. All I have done is change belts, oil brake, F1 fluid. Only issue is it drops to N when shifting hard our of 3rd. gear. Must be time fro new clutch!

Excellent! Great job and nice car!

Similar to you, I drive my car every chance I get.

Mine is a 2003 Spider F1, only 10,000 miles when I bought it 6 months ago. I put in 7,000 miles already in 6 months of ownership.

Similar to you, my gear pops to neutral once in a while at high RPM. Dealer confirms its time for a new clutch. My clutch wear is now at 80%.

The quotes I received for clutch replacement here in Seattle area is between $6K and $9K. Ouch!
