Hey man, just wanted to say this video was so spot on. Went and saw a used 360 at the dealer… this gave me a number of things to look at, including the badge! It was an aftermarket one slapped on, without the molding of the fender. I never would’ve caught it, very subtle. Thanks!
I'm still probably a year out from being in the position to be looking at these in person, but holy moley, this is probably the best run-down of things to watch for on these cars I've seen. Rack up another subscription!
Good informative video. Better than most UK 360 Modena videos. I've had a 360 for 4 years. No one would say it's a cheap car to run - unless your previous car was a Lamborghini - but hardier than you'd expect. Use it - the paint won't wash off in the rain.
Great video man! Thanks for making it so informative. I'm dreaming of owning a 360 at some point as it's one of my all time favorite cars up there with the Diablo. Those 90's mid engined Italian sports cars have so much personality and charm
Well I am going to give up my 2019 Mustang GT with only 6100 miles on it for a 20 year old or so Ferrari 360..... this has been a bucket list of mine, since I was a young lad I am 100% Italian! 5 years divorced no child support anymore and an incredible job making great money
Excellent job! I learned quite a bit from this video, which is a cut above the others I’ve watched as it covers things no one else is mentioning. Thank you!
Very, very good video on the Ferrari 360 and great advice for any person wanting to buy a 360. I could buy one in the not so distant future, as i am 60 yrs of age so one of these would be great. But i will still keep my lexus as well because they are great cars.
On my 2002 car the silencer box for the exhaust was also a problem. The joint in the middle can fail and the silencer wadding can disintegrate which then deposits a very fine white dust all over the engine compartment. New exhaust box required.
Great video I’m trying to see if I can sell my existing cars buy a cheap daily and then buy a 360 A Ferrari is a dream for me that I want to do while my dads about snd at the end of the day life is too short Lovely motor pal
You didn't mention keys, fobs and immobilizer. A 360 should have 3 fobs (2 black and a master red fob), a key on each fob and a card with the immobilizer PIN code on it for emergency use via the ignition switch. If the PIN code and red fob are missing then you're looking at $1000 USA to retrieve the PIN and purchase and program new fobs. If, after starting the car, the red immobilizer/alarm light stays on (on the little panel with the Sport mode switch) it means that your alarm siren has failed, probably the battery has corroded the circuit board inside. Replacing that can be $500+ to repair. Also, check engine mounts, they collapse every 20,000 miles, about $500 to replace them. The steering racks are prone to seal leaks, they're made by TRW but no one sells a seal kit for them so find a reputable shop to rebuild the rack, about $1500 to rebuild, about $10,000 to buy a new one, used racks are much cheaper but may have the same problem that yours does. Don't buy an F1 transmission car without having someone scan the remaining clutch life as clutches last about +/-25,000 miles depending on use and are $5000 to replace. If the clutch remaining is under 50% then hammer down the purchase price. Check when the cam belts were last changed, should be every 3 years or 7,000 miles (although most owners go well beyond that), and its about $1600 to change belts. Don't buy a car that has a check engine light on unless you completely understand what's causing it. Ignition, injection, and exhaust measurement and management systems and sensors, which cause most check engine lights, are expensive. Also, check the exhaust system. Factory headers tend to crack (think $500 to repair then to $3500 to replace them) and many of the aftermarket exhausts are so noisy and they drone so that they spoil the drive. After having said that, I've had my 2000 360modena for just over a month and even though it came with some of the issues that I've mentioned I would buy it over again as they are FABULOUS cars to drive....I don't even care that they're gorgeous, they are wonderful driving cars.
@@karldunne5595 I like hard tops and I like the extra space on the sides of the engine in the modena over the spyder for working on the car. Plus the modena is lighter and has about 1000 parts less (in the roof) to go wrong.
Great contributions here. The engine mounts are pretty easy to swap out if you have this issue (video coming soon) even if you are new around spanners! The gearbox mount is a little harder but I'll add a video on this too. Be careful around the cambelt conversation as we once seen a scenario where the belts had indeed been changed but the original tensioner was still there! A risky move to save a few hundred £/$ Factory headers - the vast majority of failures here appear only to be cars in the USA because tighter regulations called for an afterthought pre-cat to be added to the header.

Looking at a LHD, manual, red 360 without Scuderia shields or challenge grille. Bone stock. 54000km. Full service booklet, tool kit and car cover. But car definitely has sagging exhaust pipes. There is a black mark on the floor where it’s sat in the ad (old pic?). Owner says it’s not been dripping oil for the last 4 months in hibernation. Not been much used last few years. MOT’d until next year. Belts and major service done 2018. Serviced 2020. Haven’t seen or driven it. Would probably think ball joints need replacing also.

Hi Nord Mann, are you still contemplating this purchase? Sagging exhaust pipes means gearbox mount is shot, expect sloppy gear changes as a result. You can remedy this yourself if you are handy with spanners, let me know if you want the link to the correct tool to use. I wouldn't expect it to drip oil until its fully up to temp, even a completely shot rear main seal only leaks once the oil thins out with heat. The truth is even a brand new one may leak a little, it's just a question of if the amount lost is reasonable or not. The price sounds about right but just be prepared to need to spend a further 5k to get it into good order. Best of luck!
Really nice and in-depth presentation. Man, I’ve been drooling after this car for years. I currently own a Porsche Cayman S and I like it but there is something about Ferraris. But the price jump is big. Probably can get two Caymans for the price of a Modena. Worth it? Tried the Cayman S? /Thanx mate Alex
Hi Alexander. The Ferrari's are wonderful but then again so is your Cayman S. They are very different propositions to be honest. Your Porsche is very "turn-key" get in and go have some fun. The Ferrari is somewhat more delicate. I've got a video coming soon which focuses on the running costs of it - this may help your decision a little.
Fantastic the V8 makes a sweet handling mid engine car and yes I was thinking of putting up a vid or two in the summer of the cars once I've invested in some camera gear
Great video, definitely more useful than the over excited variety. Just a query, you say you drive your 360 in Auto mode? I have a Maserati CC, All of the advice I have read suggests not driving in Auto as it eats the clutch? Is this not in fact the case? Thanks
In the correct climate wonderful! In Scotland... maybe not so much. Also beware, nearing 20 years old its another part of the car that will require added maintenance and possibly rebuilding.
I stand corrected Samuel! It is indeed a fix-a-flat kit! It was actually the previous owner (who owned the car for 8 years!) who had suggested it was a car cover and it stuck. Everyday is a school day.
Great video..I’m looking at getting one next year but Spider, and have been researching parts & mechanical costs , which are frightening..I live in Oz, so there’s limited parts here..everything is in Europe or the US....and eBay..Gearbox synchro issues are rare, but occur more on manual cars, I’ve heard..but A$20k for a gearbox rebuild 😩...
The synchros work very well but are small in physical size. The teeth on them end up as a kind of tombstone shape and they don't work like they once did. Yes, whilst more common on manuals you should still expect to replace them 50-60k miles in an F1 car too :(
I’ve researched owning and running a Ferrari in oz and it’s just not worth it unless you are making serious money. In the uk/Europe you could be making upper mid level income and still swing it, because there’s great dealer network and heaps of other owners. Here you gotta stick to a Monaro 🙁
@@midnightkiteflight6333 I think you’re right..The lack of Independent Specialists here is an issue..The main dealer is a complete rip off..I have a guy here in Perth that does the work for much better pricing.. Trouble is, I don’t a Monaro or a Chevy or a Mustang..I’ve wanted a Ferrari since I was 12yrs old 😫..As long as the 360 prices keep getting over inflated, I’ll have to stick to my Kia 🤣🤣
Good video. Big help top me since I'm looking seriously at buying a 360. I have a question for you... that heat exchanger issue... does that same issue happen with a manual transmission car? I'm not sure if the F1 and manual trans are same unit just with a fancy auto clutch system on the F1. Thanks again for the video. I've watched it several times at least.
Brian, yes both the manual and F1 cars use coolant to gearbox oil heat exchangers. The issue is because the coolant was never part of the service schedule and now some have very old fluid which becomes mildly acidic and starts to corrode the exhanger from the inside out. As I said in the video always check the coolant for oil spots.
Should be every 3 years or 30k miles. Remember the tensioner should be changed too. The only way to know is for it to be documented by a reputable garage, it’s the only way the car will hold reasonable resale value too!
Just starting the video i'm 30 seconds into and realised I recognise this number plate, I owned this car in 2018 lol ''James Hughes'' might show on the log book :D Was my first ferarri and dearly missed - Now watching rest of video - Just did a email history check to check old policy with the reg and confirmed it lol
I’m actually trying to decide between a red 360 spider or a srt10 viper....but holy crap is the 6spd manual Ferrari expensive compared to its auto counterpart
Yes... unfortunate that you need to pay a big premium to get your hands on a manual. On the plus side it does make swapping the clutch out a WHOLE lot less complicated and therefore cheaper so you'll make a little back there. Both awesome cars! Drive both and see what is for you and let us know what you decide!
@@ScottishCarClan yea, here in east coast US, I’m finding the 360 well around 35-80k depending on mileage, but a manual jumps up to just under 300k, it’s crazy...while a viper (03-06 year I want) I can find between 30-50k and they’re all manuals haha
Note the dodgy, mismatched tyres on this 360. Fronts are Good Year Eagles, rears are Continentals. This might be OK on a P-plater’s budget Golf, but not on a Ferrari. I hope you negotiated well on this aspect… LOL
It was originally on all continentals but I prefer the eagles. When the fronts wore out I switched, backs followed about 5 months later. It may be a Ferrari but worth throwing perfectly good Conti’s in the bin? I don’t think so 😁
Great question! There are 2x schools of thought here. First is buy the lowest mileage car possible, I agree with this if you're buying it as an asset that will rarely be driven. Now if you plan to use the car I would always recommend buying one that has had routine use throughout it's life even if only 1000-2000 miles per year. The reason for this is that many of the seals on the 360 require it be up to temperature for proper lubrication. A good example on mine was the rear main seal which was seeping when I bought it purely because the car had been driven so little in the past few years.
@@ScottishCarClan Awesome! I will definitely be doing a deep study on the cars available before deciding on one. Still a bit of time away, but your video is a great resource!
Excellent video! Really informative! I currently own a Lotus Elise S1 and a Jaguar F-Type V6S, both of which have had their fair share of issues! I'm tempted to sell both in favour of a manual 360 Modena, which has always been a dream car of mine. They seem relatively simple in terms of construction; is DIY repairing/replacing of components possible in most cases? The majority of expense noted by owners appears to be in relation to Ferrari dealership hourly rates! 😂 In terms of slush fund (for failures only), what do you reckon is sensible per annum? Are you thinking of upgrading the exhaust at all? Interested to know more about your journey with the 360, so subbing! 🙂👍 - The Editor @ BCK
Hi Mate, brilliant video as usual, It’s Ash you bought this Ferrari off, you wouldn’t be looking at selling it back would you, I miss her dearly 🥹.. Hahaha
If you prefer Lamborghini to Ferrari your video is here! ►ua-cam.com/video/JGyzcytWK2k/v-deo.html
Very good advice, are oil changes difficult on the 360?
I do feel confident buying a 360. Now I just need the money.
Same🤣🤣
aaah the money
confidence's another name is money
I need a drivers licence first 😂
I’ve own three…this is THE BEST overview on UA-cam. Have a 458 thinking of a 2003 360. Only Criticism…bad oil smells like Haggis, not eggs🤮

Thanks Darren, I agree. Already ordered!
I’m actually trying to decide between a red 360 spider or a srt10 viper....but holy crap is the 6spd manual Ferrari expensive compared to its auto counterpart
Yes... unfortunate that you need to pay a big premium to get your hands on a manual. On the plus side it does make swapping the clutch out a WHOLE lot less complicated and therefore cheaper so you'll make a little back there. Both awesome cars! Drive both and see what is for you and let us know what you decide!
@@ScottishCarClan yea, here in east coast US, I’m finding the 360 well around 35-80k depending on mileage, but a manual jumps up to just under 300k, it’s crazy...while a viper (03-06 year I want) I can find between 30-50k and they’re all manuals haha
How do I email a pic of an exhaust to you for your opinion on the gear bushing?
Find us on instagram or facebook and DM us @scottish car clan
Note the dodgy, mismatched tyres on this 360. Fronts are Good Year Eagles, rears are Continentals. This might be OK on a P-plater’s budget Golf, but not on a Ferrari. I hope you negotiated well on this aspect… LOL
It was originally on all continentals but I prefer the eagles. When the fronts wore out I switched, backs followed about 5 months later.
It may be a Ferrari but worth throwing perfectly good Conti’s in the bin? I don’t think so 😁
@@ScottishCarClan Fair enough, mate.
great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
@@ScottishCarClan I bought my 360 using your few advises from this video in fact. ;)
What do you say about how many miles a 360 has? Should i only be looking for under 10-15K miles?
Also, thanks for the vid man, loved it and i can tell you love your car! I'm excited to get in one someday.
Great question! There are 2x schools of thought here. First is buy the lowest mileage car possible, I agree with this if you're buying it as an asset that will rarely be driven. Now if you plan to use the car I would always recommend buying one that has had routine use throughout it's life even if only 1000-2000 miles per year. The reason for this is that many of the seals on the 360 require it be up to temperature for proper lubrication. A good example on mine was the rear main seal which was seeping when I bought it purely because the car had been driven so little in the past few years.
@@ScottishCarClan Awesome! I will definitely be doing a deep study on the cars available before deciding on one. Still a bit of time away, but your video is a great resource!
Cars with super low miles that have not been used will be more trouble than a car with some miles and a good service history
wots rd tax on these
Wing = fender
Car cover = tire inflator
What year?
This one is 1999
My dream car 😇🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Excellent video! Really informative! I currently own a Lotus Elise S1 and a Jaguar F-Type V6S, both of which have had their fair share of issues! I'm tempted to sell both in favour of a manual 360 Modena, which has always been a dream car of mine. They seem relatively simple in terms of construction; is DIY repairing/replacing of components possible in most cases? The majority of expense noted by owners appears to be in relation to Ferrari dealership hourly rates! 😂
In terms of slush fund (for failures only), what do you reckon is sensible per annum? Are you thinking of upgrading the exhaust at all? Interested to know more about your journey with the 360, so subbing! 🙂👍 - The Editor @ BCK
Do you still own the 360?
VW Golfs… 🤣
$10,000 for a new clutch 😝
Maybe a little less if you shop around! But yes don’t ride it 😬
Driving in the right sucks lol
2:15 your optional... what disc cd changer ? wow
GTI driver - almost always a try hard wannabe, never likely to own a Ferrari
Hi Mate, brilliant video as usual,
It’s Ash you bought this Ferrari off, you wouldn’t be looking at selling it back would you, I miss her dearly 🥹..
Hahaha
Thanks! Great review 👏
Excellent Review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
