I just recently picked up one. You might want to check out fchat as that is more dedicated to f cars and a lot more data points. The important thing based on my experience is the history of the car and the service records. When you find one make sure you understand what services are being done, and if all campaigns are completed. Some of the campaigns have expired and if those weren't done within the warranty period, could get costly in the future. An example would be the F1 transmission ECU, and cam variator related updates. Belt, fluid, clutch, brakes will all be costly, so a PPI at a reputable shop or dealer will be ideal. This is truly a great car which one can only appreciate when you get an opportunity to drive one.
Best of luck on your hunt.

I am sure its been said already but just to say it again, Ferrari engine life is short. I wouldn't buy one with more than 3k on it, unless you just want to look at it every Sunday instead of driving.

good service history, a proper car breed, and an attractive price = new addition to your garage. I would rather have one with a few miles on it and know it was driven rather than a garage queen with very low miles. These cars are meant to be driven.

I asked the shop and the highest mileage 360 they've seen was 120k miles. It was still in good shape, just someone's daily commuter. It is not so much the reliability at high mileage, if maintained properly, they go a long long way. The primary concern is more the service expenses (fluid, belt, clutch, brakes, etc) that cost a lot more than other vehicles. You should call your local Ferrari dealer service manager and ask them what is the highest mileage car they've seen. You might be surprised.
thanks. can you direct me to a link that maps out the services and costs associated with each? i thought i saw it on here before, but can't seem to find it
my friend had his Z06 transmission rebuilt and his car tuned/prepped for 2.5k. what would that get you on a ferrari. a rear challenge grill fitted with a little change left over.
unfortunately adding a rear challenge grill after the car has been manufactured would run in the neighborhood of 12K.... so 2.5K would get you an oil change, brake fluid flush, tranny flush and some change left over.
When any of my cars get over 25k, I usually trade them in, or give them to a relative and buy a new one.
I wouldn't keep a Ferrari over 20k to be honest.
You obviously have lack of knowledge on these cars. Buying and selling cars at a certain mileage and year consistently is a personal preference, but to jump to conclusion that a higher mileage Ferrari should not be purchased without really knowing what you are talking about is something else.

Hey what's with the flame baiting Hiro? I happen to know quite a bit about Ferraris.
It's personal preference. You can keep your own Ferrari until it hits 150,000 miles. I don't care, but I'm not going to call you stupid because of it.
Chill out, relax, and get a girlfriend.
