If you currently have up to $100,000 to spend and are looking for a Ferrari, you're in for a memorable adventure - the 360, which was produced between 1999 and 2005 has now reached that sweet spot where it's still fresh enough, but can be had for the amount of money mentioned above.
However, since Prancing Horses have never been the most reliable cars out there and, after all, any vehicle of such age has its issues, you might want to pay attention to certain aspects before buying such a Maranello machine.

Fortunately, others have done it before you, so their experience can serve as a free lesson for your purchase. Case in point with Rob Ferretti. Like most car aficionados, Rob doesn't like empty structures. The man prefers garages filled with a few exotics. But how can you live out your dream garage fantasy without spending millions on it?

Well, you could go for a five- or six-car setup as Rob does, choosing for decade-old vehicles. Providing you can afford such an adventure in the first place, if you select your velocity weapons carefully and respect basic maintenance rules, the whole thing will make you happy instead of bringing bankruptcy on the table.

However, we want to focus on the 360 for today, as our guy talks about ten common issues of the 430's predecessor in the video at the bottom of the page.

For instance, did you know rolled fenders are not just a ricer thing? For one thing, you'll have to go down this route in your 360 - check out the clip and you'll understand.

P.S.: Those of you wondering about potential problems with the 458, a Ferrari who's used car market potential is currently boiling should know that Maranello made massive quality and reliability changes with this model, leaving behind many of the issues experienced with 360s and 430s.
