    Guy's I need your help.

    I have a 328 GTS and an Elise 111S and neither is being used very much due to me working away. When they are used I have to split the use over both which means both only get 2-3k per year

    I've been think for a while now of selling both and buying a 360, but I am still undecided what to do. I love both existing cars for very different reasons but really do fancy moving onto a a 360. What's bugging me is that i keep changing my mind to stay as is and then to swap, its really pi££ing me off. Its like a scratch you can't reach and you keep going back to it again and again and again.

    I know its my decision but I would value your views.

    Also any views as to:-

    360 prices - dealer vs nonfranchised
    360 - any particular year to avoid
    328 trade in vs dealer commission sale vs private sale

    328 is 1987 GTS, 21k mls, FSH, 18k & belts done last year, Roso, Creme

    Thanks

    Get the 360 while you can. If you do not like it then go back. A change is good. Go for it you only live once...

    ..and also there is a good selection of colours and specs to choose from and there are lots on the market. I reckon going for a 360 is a good move.

    Go for it!! a 360 is light years ahead of a 328!..........must say though a 328 is probably one of the prettiest Farrari's ever made. Some may even say it was THE last true Ferrari!
    Driving my 360 Spider, after "jumping" from a 348 Spider was unbelievable and well worth it!

    Mark - IMHO I'd hang on about 6 months, wait until the 430 has hit our shores. The hype for the 430 will grow and people will be trading up from a 360, but on the other hand maybe there is more supply of 360's at the moment because everyone is worried about the big D when the 430 comes out. Swings and roundabouts but I'm sure 360 prices will continue to fall once the 430 arrives. Although I've noticed the very earlist LHD ones haven't dipped much below £60k (asking) for a year or two now.

    After hearing a tubi'd 360 F1 at Oulton park that would be the model I'd go for.

    Catch you soon.

    Thanks Guys

    I am still 50/50 partly due to still liking both cars and secondly regarding Richards point that the 360 prices may fall after the 430 arrives with 360 owners trading up. The problem I see is that the 360 prices may hold up reasonably for the next 2 years due to the 430's being in short supply. After 2 years I think they will take a heavy hit.

    Any views, experiences from other models?

    Mark,


    Dont worry about prices m8, its all speculation, we are probably be just talking about it causing them to "Fall"

    If the 360 take a hit the rest of the marques will fall in line with the exception of F50 F40 ENZO ....Its just folk moving from one model into the next as they become affordable, face it we all look forward to getting into the next best Fcar...

    355 owners jump to 360, 348 and 328, into 355, 308 into 348 and 328 models.

    If you buy a 360 now keep it a year 18 months youd still lose a small amount on the big "D", unless you grab one of the many cheaper high milers out in the market at mo.

    Just my angle on the matter :)

    GOOD LUCK WITH WHATEVER YOU DECIDE...

    Get 360 if you really want it as you could always buy 328 anytime if you decided that 360 was right for you.
