    Hello there,

    I am looking for a 360 driver, and recent sales for coupes on BaT has me asking a few questions on options. Personally I like a no shields car, however, on the used car market, getting all the options I want are hard.

    This base car sold for $115k https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1999-ferrari-360-modena-58/

    This car didn't sell at 88K https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1999-ferrari-360-modena-57/

    ------------------

    I have a lead on a car that has the carbon seats and modular wheels. Neither options are a must have for me, but when I see on lists people seem to love them. But are they willing to pay for them?

    The seats may be valuable https://bringatrailer.com/listing/seats-134/ but I can't rip the seats out the car and make money, hah!



    So my question is, how much value does the seats and the wheels add to a driver 360, if all being equal?



    Thanks

    The seats and wheels typically don't seem to add much value to the car, however on their own are worth a pretty penny.

    I would say that a car with those items is much more desirable and will add to your ownership experience but the seats are produced in sizes S,M,L so something to ask about. Try to get a photo of the tag or decal that shows the size to verify. The large ones are the most desirable because they fit everyone but if you are a big person the small may not be comfortable. They seem to visually hold up better over time too; where the regular seats with the plush bolster can get tired looking if previous owners were not careful when getting in and out of their car, the more firm edged carbon seats are easier to keep nice IMO.

    About the modular wheels...I bought a set 12 years ago that sat on a shelf while I ran the starfish wheels but recently swapped them onto the car. What a difference in my perception about the cars appearance. I am pretty fastidious and OCD about everything on my car and they have transformed me! Small paint imperfections that I know about and little exterior flaws in the paint from using the car are no longer as noticeable with the super busy-to-the-eye modular wheels installed! It's a trip to me but my car looks cleaner and not in need of a detail for a much longer time. This is huge for me. I used to detail the car before and after each drive because I could see the dust and road dirt but now the wheels are so blingy that they take away the focus with light shining off all the surfaces. YMMV but this is a psychological phenomenon that is real for me and wanted to share.

    If I were a buyer I wouldn't hesitate to spend 10K more for a car with these items. .02

    Wow, I didn't know that people could get manual cars for so little money. That is good for buyers! I've been telling my wife that my car is worth double what I paid for it so she doesn't blink when a big bill comes in or I spend a lot of time working on it because I am "protecting our investment!" lol

    Thank you.

    Yeah given, I won't take the parts of the car, just trying to figure out the value.

    thank you so much for the info. I will ask the size of the seat, as I didn't know about that.

    Do you know where the Tag will be?

    Appreciate the info. Is the offset on the modulars the same as the starfish, or are they more flush with the fenders?

    For the seat search is your friend I am not sure.
    Wheels should be the same offset if they are OEM made by BBS for Ferrari.
