I think next year a 360 could well be on the shopping list.

But I started doing the fateful "what if" line of thought!

From mr research it seems these cars are generally very reliable, but has anyone heard of any really bad things going wrong?

What sort of price is an engine / gearbox rebuild?

I guess warranties are a waste of space?

Cheers

All the early batch of 1999-2000 cars with the duff crank shells would have been replaced by now. Ferrari knew about that problem but it was not a recall. Ferrari used a crank shell with a different tolerance and that sorted the potential problem from that point. These days the engine bottom end is very strong.
Apart from the well known ball joint problem thats been mentioned, (in which you cant just buy the ball joints but the whole wish bone) the 360 is a great car. Clearly a manual is always going to have less problems than a mechanical manual. But even then the F1 system is a good un.
Even then dont spend your life/ownership worrying about what ifs. Just drive and enjoy that MoFo.

I've just bought one and apart from a few very minor issues(which are being sorted under warranty) so far it seem's great. I've been speaking to a local independent and most thing seem to be a lot more reasonable than I had been lead to believe.
What does surprise me is how easy they are to drive.

I am getting to the opinion with valuable mileage sensitive cars over say 5 years old and with more than a couple of owners that most have been clocked. When I looked for my 550 I saw a car whose paperwork indicated that its mileage had decreased between 2 invoices and another owner who told me of a summer trip to europe which did not fit with the mileage over that period. So out of 3 cars I went to see 2 had definately been clocked - I bought the one with the highest genuine mileage.

I had an audio man come to do some work to my car and he asked me if I needed the mileage corrected....he then went on to tell me that he did mileage adjustments on a near daily basis mostly on exotica and normally only a few thousand at a time.

I would definately have the car inspected by a respected independent

good luck

Except that it's a Porsche!

Good. With any luck u won't come back.

Well this thread has fast turned into a load of bkss.

You're the one showing yourself to be the "cock" with that retort .....not really needed.

who mentioned porsche been quicker ????hhmmmmm....was just saying porsche are far superior cars on a usable basis ........i found the 360 to be junk....JUST MY OPINION OF COURSE.....
