    Hello, I am a resident of Sydney.
    I am looking at buying a second hand 360 spider,1999/2000 model
    and because I have not bought a Ferrari before, I am
    interested in what the best way to go about it is.
    I have a good mechanic, so there is no problem there in
    regards to checking it out.
    I just need some good reliable contacts to buy from.
    Would I be making savings if I were to buy from o/s.
    Is it worth the trouble.
    How much should I be paying for one.
    Hopefully with your collective help, I can make my dream come true.

    regards,

    Thomas

    but seriousley dont buy O/S unless brand new.

    and the first point to start looking is reaserch.

    check out your dealer in sydney theres a few.
    have a look at car sales websites ie www.carsales.com.au

    and find what the going rate is, then you can haggle...

    there is no "best way" to go about it, just do it like you would any other car, its not rocket science although some Fcar owners profess to be experts.....

    Ok here goes,


    >Hello, I am a resident of Sydney.

    you poor sod!!

    >I am looking at buying a second hand 360 spider,1999/2000 model
    >and because I have not bought a Ferrari before, I am
    >interested in what the best way to go about it is.

    I use money not sure what they use in Sydney anymore - probably guns or drugs

    >I have a good mechanic, so there is no problem there in
    >regards to checking it out.

    well so long as he has a THOROUGH grounding in MANY Ferraris you MAY be lucky - is his name Luigi or Vince ??

    >I just need some good reliable contacts to buy from.

    Scuds , Galleria Veloce, any BMW dealer (we get sick of them and trade them in on a 318

    >Would I be making savings if I were to buy from o/s.

    no and NO!!!

    >Is it worth the trouble.

    only if you're a masocist

    >How much should I be paying for one.

    as little as possible

    >Hopefully with your collective help, I can make my dream come true.

    you are joking right

    sorry, I just couldn't help myself :D

    Goobs got it right, if ya got the dosh just go and buy the highest mileage one for $220-$250k you can find as it will have been used and proof it's a good one is it's got high mileage , the **** ones are garage queens with low mileage because they were being fixed all the time....TRUE!! just ask a few of the owners!

    Oh, and buy RED as you will never sell any other colour for good money
