I always keep looking at 360's as I will be getting one again sometime, apart from prices shooting up and making me think 430.

I keep seeing this 360 for sale, It feels like its been for sale for years, anyone been to see it?

Main issue for me....although might not be for others is....it's been wrapped.

I've never seen a wrap close up that is worthwhile doing it to a car like this. Looking at the price it' looks as if it reflects this, but without knowing the.condition of the paintwork underneath the wrap could be hiding a multitude of sins.

It has a wrap so my concerns would be a) it is covering something nasty up and/or b) it ruins the paint when removed.

Also, only 7 stamps when it should have at least 12 so it doesn't have a full history.

The plate might be worth a bit though if your initials are GBX....

Don't know the car Jay, but know the dealer very well.

If you ring them about it ask for Andrew.

If you're taken with a car like this, from this kind of dealer, just be sure to get an inspection carried out. This dealer clearly doesn't know the Ferrari brand and although this may be a lovely car (hmm…), I'd be wary of a dealer selling 41 Land Rover's and 1 Ferrari!

Best of luck with your search. They're wonderful cars smile

I think it was for sale a couple or three years when I was looking.

I've not seen it or have any vested interest in it but I often look at the SBS Race Engineering one. That looks good value at the moment for 26k miles & manual.

Silver is not for everyone but it is the outlier at the moment.

Wow its been that long?! I thought it had been a while.

I was just seeing if anyone had see in, was curious to see if there was anything that stood out as to why it hasn't sold.

Your right, its been wrapped but i have seen professional wraps and they are very very good, however yes it could be hiding something underneath.

I would personally remove the wrap, was thinking that it might be worth a cheeky offer after an inspection. I dont mind spending a few quid in maintenance as it would be a long term keeper, but no one wants to buy a dog.

Plenty of these cars miss the odd service. I agree I would expect it to have more than 7 but it certainly wouldn't put me off if it had missed a couple. Very often these cars are part of collections/rarely used so inevitably miss the odd service.

Ironically the "higher end" Supercar market is quite different. Most F40s, F50s, Enzos have only ever been serviced a handful of times. The market seems to accept this as the reality is so many of these cars spend years not being used. I looked at a low mileage F50 before I bought mine, it had been serviced 3 times since new and that turned out to be the case with most the cars I viewed.

To the OP, common sense should be used. If it's a dopey looking example with high miles, lots of owners and has missed half it's services = bad. A nice car that's 15/16 years old that's missed the odd service, no problem.

Good luck with your search
