I have nothing buy good things to say about that dealer, but there's a price to be paid for that level of comfort. I bought my last car there and they service two of my cars.

I find their pricing is unbelievable.

60k for a W reg 360. If you had to get out of that for any reason, I think you'd be close to 10k down very quickly.

10k more and you're into 430 territory.

Interior not to everyone's taste and F1 not worth it, manual with cream or black maybe somewhere around 50/55k tops, the 360 does seem to be becoming a little rarer judging by the lack of them.

Ultra low miles that you would need to ask and prove why.
As said the red dash not to everyone's taste.
360 prices seem to be going silly currently ....... Along with everything else.

The average asking price for a 360 with 6,000 miles on the clock is £61,361. However, there are only a couple of cars in this area of the market so average prices are heavily influenced by this exact car.

Just a general note - I wouldn't buy this car as your first Ferrari. You'll want to drive the car loads and will destroy all the "value" in the low mileage very quickly. You've also got to wonder of the condition of the perishable items after they've sat doing nothing all this time.

I suspect you are looking at this main dealer car as you are struggling to get finance on anything else. If you pause to save up the purchase price the numbers of cars you can buy opens right up. If you buy carefully you can seriously reduce your cost of ownership.

Well there cant be many left with this sort of mileage? ive seen one other on ebay.

yes, trying to finance an older ferrari even with a big deposit doesnt seem to be easy.

I dont mind paying extra for the right car, i do however think there is possibly some movement on this car with the dealer also.

i probably wont put much more than 1500 miles a year on it because of work commitments.

whats wrong with the red dash? i like it.

If you like it then go for it, it's you that counts not us, however we are just saying be aware that a lot of people won't like it when and or if you have to sell.
Did you visit TFC like I suggested last time ? Only reason I ask is because you can see at least 6 cars for sale all different flavours in one place so you can get a feel for them.

This is a 14 year old car with 6000 miles. It *averages* at a little over 400 miles a year. What are the chances these miles have been spread evenly throughout its life? It could have sat undriven for months (or years) on end... Not a good thing.

It's an issue isn't it! I spoke to Tim earlier in the week and again he said good Modenas are scarce and prices are strong.......

Be patient, your perfect car will come.

I echo all the comments above re low miles.....
And re F1 it's personal choice. I would not swap mine for a manual.

Just put a deposit on a 360 spider from TFC myself this morning, Did consider this car myself but a quick call to the dealer put me off. The car was supplied directly to Hong Kong and then reimported to the UK by the owner. The car has only had one service in its life prior to being brought up to date by the selling dealer. The warranty will be a Warranty Wise warranty,so not really worth the paper it's written on. TFC were a pleasure to deal with with lots of cars to look at and Drive.

I understand searching for the right car can be very frustrating - I looked for two years before finding mine.

just make sure you keep it and don't need to get out of it in a hurry, Good luck, you not fancy a spider?

I went to see this car last week, no doubt it's a nice car, but there is quite a hole in its history (think it was 6 years) it was exported to Hong Kong when new, and it's had a speedo change...

2001 spider rosso. Not the highest spec but very good condition with lots of service stamps and known to TFC for 7 years. Fell within my budget as well

Looks nice, and black interior a lot easier to live with.
