    Hello. This is my first post.
    I am seriously thinking of acquiring a 360 Spider. Not sure what year but hopefully one that has the updated F1 transmission that allows for clutch? adjustments.
    I have heard of "sticky buttons" and wonder if this is a universal problem with the 360. I have also read about common door lock failures. Are these real issues and are there more I should be aware of?
    Any input both good and bad is much appreciated.
    Thanks, Bill

    Welcome - spend a lot of time in the 360 section including read the buyers guide at the top

    Pretty much every Ferrari from 348/355 onwards will suffer from sticky buttons - it is even turning up on the very latest

    Sticky buttons is something you just fix. Make this last on your priority list. Clutches wear and your driving style can make a big difference to how long the clutch will last. get a pre purchase inspection and service your F1 gearbox regularly. The leather condition on the dash and seats is an important consideration on a spider, expensive to fix and it just gets worse with age after it gets let go..

    There is plenty of help in the 360 part of the forum. I was a lurker for a year reading up before I finally pulled the trigger on my 360 in November. Just took a lot of time to find the right example for the right price. Best of luck to you.
