would you buy a 360 with 25k+miles?

There is no flaming, but if i were you i would not comment on something that I do not really know, which you obviously do not in this case. Mod220 can benefit from getting comments from people that owns and knows the car (not just the specs and the models, or what you read in other forums of the "perceived" Ferrari ownership). I suggested that the best way is to call the Ferrari service shops to get their input, or even just talk to the sales at Ferrari dealers. You would not make the comments which you have if you have more idea about the car. This is the reason why others also laughed at your comment when you said a Ferrari at 25k miles is equal to 300k miles on other car. If you feel your comments can be supported by facts and experiences, then that is another story. Sorry if I offended you with any of my words, but your words just seem to me that you do not know what you are talking about.

Opinion noted! Glad you could get that off your chest Hiro, but you sound like you are spreading a lot of misinformation. If all your info is from "Ferrari dealers", then of course you're going to get a lot of sugar coating. They are in the business of selling you the car, they won't tell you "Save lots of money for maintenance on this high mileage Ferrari because you're going to need it." Who would buy their car if they were truthful?

I posted this thread to the guys at Edmunds Talk, and they pretty much laughed at the thought of buying a 10 year old, 25,000 mile Ferrari for anywhere above $60,000.

Yes, with enough money, you can keep it running perfectly smooth. The OP would end up spending half the price of purchase in soon-to-be maintenance issues anyway.

But whatever, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. It's not my money.

if the price is right....

What about this 360..anyone know about it? Seems to be well serviced with records etc etc. Interior isnt the greatest to me but $64k aint bad!

We need guys like NewSong so he can take a bath on the trade and we can benefit on the resale!

Hey I don't care if you want my old stuff, that's why I'm trading it in.

I think a 360 w/25k would be fine, but over 35,000 miles we are talking about too many miles unless the price is fantastic.

Clearly there is A LOT of forum BS without any real world experience..

a 60-70k 360 represents the BOTTOM of the used car market for this car.. you get what you pay for when you want the BOTTOM. <-- fact.. only 5% of these cars will be nice, and usually sold under financial duress of the owner.

I have a 360 modena and maserati gransport. I bought the modena with 6k miles and the gransport with 12k miles..

I now have 12k miles on the modena and 20k miles on the gransport.. Mechanically both cars are absolutely fantastic and better than anything I have owned previously..

I know people with over 100k on their modena's.. they are strong.. reliable cars.. There is NO ISSUE buying a 35k modena that has had it's service done.. no issue at all..

I say this again.. a NICE modena will still cost you 85-115k at least.. And when the market resolves it will firm up the prices even more..

You are truly right. But a modena with 35k and up miles with up to date service records and etc will have to drop the prices to the $60-70k mark not $85k and up,but that still doesnt mean it's NOT a nice car. Your friends with the 100k mile modena's will really have to take a loss "if" they ever decide to sell.

The cheapest one I found was around $85K with 10,000 miles. Haven't seen any nice 360's for the prices you guys are talking about... http://globalautosports.com/index.cf...came_from=make
