Bye bye 360 ......

[TISPKJ]

Well it's sad to see it go, has been a great car for the past 2 years and circa 5k miles, totally trouble free and reliable and never failed to start on the button everytime, for anyone contemplating buying one I really don't think you can go far wrong, I am fairly confident they will continue to rise in price as they have done recently.
I did some of the maintenance myself, discs and pads, ball joints etc, but had TFC carry out the annual service and belt service.
I won't go into numbers exactly but even having a belt service, hills ball joints, hills gear linkage, and £700 worth of paintwork, discs pads etc I have still come out with a small profit, I haven't done the maths yet.
Can't really ask for anymore from a car than that really.
I sold through TFC (thanks Dave) to the new owner Tony a friend of Voicey,s who helped put the deal together, so many thanks voicey much appreciated, and I wish Tony many happy miles in her.

I'm glad Tony has managed to find a good car - and it's nice to see cars staying in the community. I will need to update my database accordingly!

There good those iPhones aren't they

To be fair I don't really include service and running costs on my cars as you will have that on any car you buy / own so the rise in value is very nice, my 355 went up by 20k when I sold it so knowing my luck this will do the same now.

My invoice is in the post!

[Mike Brown]

It's fingers the size of shovels I think, do not know why I get three posts every time, makes me feel stupid really, Mike

I have had / seen it before where you think the mail has not gone on an ipad or iphone, you must press once and count to 10.

if your on a computer proper as it were then youve got trouble I would suggest.

Having bought the 360 off Paul, I thought I should introduce myself to everyone. This is my first Ferrari. It's also the first car I've ever owned. I delayed for years (25 or so) until I could afford one that I knew I'd really love, and finally I've made the jump - right in at the deep end.

I picked it up on Saturday (thanks to Roger, Matt and in particular Dave) and had a chance to say hello to Paul and admire his stunning orange Gallardo. I'm kind of hoping we can do another deal in a few years time...

It was a really special moment driving it away - it almost felt a bit surreal and I was half expecting someone to call me back and tell me it was all a big joke. But having got away, and after the initial nervous tension calmed down, I was grinning all the way to Thurrock (where my girlfriend's parents live). Yesterday I finished the drive to my flat in Deptford where I parked it up in the underground car park. After a year of the car park space being empty, it's finally been filled with something worthy. I'm not counting my girlfriend's Skoda.

So I just wanted to say thanks Paul for being a decent and generous guy to deal with, and thanks Aldous for helping me check the speed bumps and car park ramp, and driving me to the Ferrari Centre a few months ago to test drive a previous blue Spider. And for offering to help fit the Accumate.

I'm looking forward to being part of the community.

Cheers

Tony

I'm really pleased you were finally able to get a decent car Tony.

Also, full kudos to you for buying a Ferrari as your first car - what a story for the grand-kids!

Enjoy in good health Tony and welcome to the forum.

Nice story Tony and welcome............

Lovely story, Enjoy, Enjoy, and this particular group of v8 Ferrari owners who contribute on here are the best, ever helpful and a pleasure to chat with and help whenever needed, myself included of course, I think the 360 is a really fab model and I believe will become ever more desirable in its own right, I get great pleasure from just owning mine, let alone driving it, good luck and take care, Mike
