    I'm tired of reading how people think that Ferrari cars are unreliable. I have over 61K miles on my 360, and I think that many other cars are over the 50K mileage threshold. If your Fcar has at least 50K miles, let's be proud to show others that these cars are better when driven and fun to drive also. I'd like to see how many cars are "high mileage" or "drivers cars" not garage queens.

    55.5k here, bought it with 54k....These passed over gems are the best bang you can find. They wont lose much value by depreciation, you can work on them yourself, saving thousands, you don't have to be afraid to drive them..even IF I ever "upgrade", it will be another 30k+ mile car that I will get a deal on because it has been passed over for miles, and I will enjoy it much more than just creating flat spots in the garage...

    btw, whatever became of the engine issue you though you had? All good now?

    I have noticed the more I drive my low mileage F430, the better it drives... more like an everyday car, except way cooler. I hope that 50k miles is not a major milestone for Fcar owners. I'm more curious to know who has 100k.

    32000 on mine runs better the more i drive it. i agreee with the guy above just as reliable as a Porsche. people just listen to people who do not know better and follow crazy money making services which keep Ferrari alive. Look at a motocross motorcycles maintenance. re ring ever 15 hours change oil every 4 hours. ya if you want the upmost performance then yes. ha how about changing the engine every month. Ferrari engineers think race car not street. assume you will beat the **** out of them . I just drove from south jersey to Shenandoah Virginia and rolled thru the Skyline drive park and other mountian roads, it was great to has this great car on the road. smooth as a Caddy deville and ready to rumble, and it did in the mountains

    I bought by 430 with 25k. I have done 5k in the year that I've used it. I don't care how many miles I put on it as long as I enjoy it. I completely agree with the sentiment that they are better with regular use.

    55,300 miles on her. Drove 4k miles during this short "North European" summer of ours. From late May to mid Sep. I'm in love!

    Car has complete service history, its originally Italian sold car (yet no warping dash what so ever!), I'm the 4th keeper. Last owner drove almost 20k miles over 4 years (kind of sick) and spent high money to fix all the "know issues" from failing door locks / latches to the gearbox (etc.) bushings. Now I'm just enjoying her.

    Mine had a rear main seal leak when i bought it.. I figured I would fix it when I do the clutch. I put a diaper under it, and check it every 3-6 months.
    After driving the car on the regular, it stopped leaking. Drive em and you wont have issues.

    Since we're in the 360/430 forum, I have to say "I'm getting close." Nudging 40K on the 430.

    But if you had asked in the 328 forum, I'm up around 75K.

    Both cars have done a mix of daily commute, long vacation road trips, and more than a few track days.

    (BTW, don't discount the 328 as a track car. Sure, it's underpowered by modern standards, but the balance and handling is sublime! Treat it as a momentum car and you will have a hoot in the corners!)
