2000 360 advice please

[Messer]

Hi all,

I have recently been considering parting with my Delta Integrale Evo2 to get in to a 360.
A chap has offered a deal with a very clean, low owner (3) Giallo Modena f1 and trying to gauge what a realistic value on the car would be?

It’s a LHD located in Italy, full service history with all original books and always serviced on schedule, owned by 2 doctors, very very clean example, cover 67k klm. Has standard exhaust, is fitted with a x-OST Maranello exhaust and also has a capristo st3 exhaust and has yellow and black rear panels. Black leather with yellow stitching.

It’s a deal for my evo2 Giallo Ginestra, and I’m trying to gauge what the market value would estimate and realistically be for this car?

Cam belt done within last year as well..

Anything to be aware of with these as it would be my first Ferrari!
Thanks for your help,

LHD F1 in yellow with 40k miles - worth about £50k over here. Is it an early chassis (many yellow cars are as it was the launch colour)? If so then the desirability falls even further.

Thank you, how do I know if it’s an early chassis number?

It’s a 2000 model car

I’d check mobile.de and then take a haircut on asking prices - a lot of those seem a little ambitious nowadays
Wouldn’t worry too much about mileage in terms of reliability. Resale as usual is a different question with Ferraris (wrongly so, but c’est la vie)

Last 6 digits of chassis number. I think after 120068 should be OK for LHD but don’t take my word for it.
Early cars (mainly 99’s) susceptible to cracking in the chassis rails around the engine mounts. Mine is Oct 2000 and fine.
It will have an early F1 control TCU also unless it has been upgraded. Not a showstopper but an upgrade path.

I really like the 360 in Giallo. Suits it well......

The easiest way is to look through the wheel and at the top of the shock absorber (where it is bolted to the chassis). Early cars had a mount between the shock bush and the chassis. Item number 11 in this diagram: https://www.eurospares.co.uk/parts/ferrari/360-mod...

Later cars with the improved chassis had their shock bushes bolted directly into the chassis (bolt number 17 goes directly into the frame).

That's an easy check! I've just been out and looked at mine....

Thanks, all very helpful. The car is located in Elba, Tuscany and there are no specialists for miles and miles which makes having an inspection done almost impossible.. 200klm is the nearest..

Where has the car been serviced? If the current owner has been taking it 200km every year then they should be happy to take it for an inspection. If they've been taking it to the local workshop then I alarm bells should be ringing. I inspected a Ferrari in Majorca a few years back which had been looked after by a run-of-the-mill local workshop. I had to do some repairs on the spot before it was safe to drive.

Sounds like your answer lies above. Get the inspector to the car rather than vice versa...

[Messer]

Is anyone aware of anyone who could inspect a car in Elba, Tuscany?

Is a Ferrari dealer a good place to have an inspection done? As in can they or do they go into the depths required to see if its been in a shunt for example.
