2003 Ferrari 360 Spider Convertible 2-door 3.6l on 2040-cars

Year:2003 Mileage:14358
Location:

Howard Beach, New York, United States

Howard Beach, New York, United States

You are bidding on a Red 2003  Ferrari Spider with F1 transmission. Car was fully serviced at 12,000 miles (see picture of repair order) as follows:

1. Full timing belt service.

2. Brake Flush and new brake fluid.

3. Coolant flush and replacement.

4. Oil change.

5. Convertible top serviced.

6. New front and rear brake pads.

Tires have less than 3,000 miles and were replaced with original Pirellis (see picture of invoice). No bargain basement tires here.

This ferrari is in outstanding condition and one of the finest 360s in circulation. The color combination is striking,

When looking for a Ferrari as a buyer I look for the following: 1. Red (A ferrari has to be red).  A Red Ferrari has the best resale value. 2. Daytona seats (inserts a big plus). 3. Modular wheels.  4. challenge grilles/grids front and rear and 5. Scuderia Ferrari Shields from the factory, not after market stick ons. Way to tell is the factory fenders are indented to accept the shields.

This Ferrari has all the above options and more including: Red brake calipers, six CD changer, power seats (both), leather rear shelf/door mold, high power Hi-Fi with subwoofer, and all stiching in color. With this Ferrari included is also the luggage set and garment bag which you don't see very often. The only thing that is not included as shown on the window sticker is the battery (trickle) charger. However, the prewiring is there as shown on sticker. This car stickered at $201,294 (see picture).

If you have been looking for a Ferrari and don't want to worry about maintenance for a long while, look no further. All you need to do with this car is to start it up and Go!!!

As many have learned when it comes to exotics a "cheap deal" usually turns out to be the most expensive one. With the first repair, you'll wish you had purchased the more expensive, well maintained car.

The car does have some chips, one small scratch (see picture) and a scrape underneath the front (most sports cars have this) from driveways. I have chosen not to repair it as depending where the new buyer lives it may not be feasable to repair as it will happen again, plus it's under the car.

Another thing to keep in mind when shopping for a 360, is to make sure the taillights are not bubbled. If so, it means that there was alot of heat (engine) under the hood and that being the case I would take my money elsewhere. The taillights on this ferrari are as straight as when they left the factory.

The Tubi exhaust (a must on a 360) was installed by Ferrari & Maserati of Orange County (see picture).

A clutch snap was performed at 12,058 miles by Scottdale Ferrari-Maserati-Aston Martin which showed wear to be at 27.5%. This of course meant that the clutch is 72.5% good. With this car driven easy I can't see the wear being that much different.

So in summary, this car has been maintained from day one and is well documented (see pics). If you can find a Red 360 as maintained as this one for cheaper, buy it!!

I am not interested in any trades except a 2012 SLS with the right options (carbor fiber in and out, B&O, AMG performance Suspension).

I will email additional requested pictures to serious buyers, but please do not lowball me as the sale of this car is not a must.

I will take the car a reasonable distance for a PPI to a reputable Exotic car dealership (preferably Ferrari) or a reputable Independent specializing in Ferraris. I will not take it to your neighborhood mechanic.

Good luck bidding.

Race Recap: 2014 Malaysian F1 Grand Prix [spoilers]

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

The Malaysian Grand Prix is always one of the jokers on the Formula One calendar: you know it's going to rain during the weekend, but you don't know when. This year it began during qualifying, the dammed up clouds over the Sepang track dumping their reservoirs just before Q1 and causing a 50-minute delay.
The conditions helped Infiniti Red Bull Racing close the gap on Mercedes AMG Petronas and split the Silver Arrows cars, Sebastian Vettel lining up in second on the grid behind pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton, ahead of Nico Rosberg. Fernando Alonso recovered from a suspension-damaging incident with Toro Rosso driver Daniil Kyvat to take fourth, followed by the second Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo in fifth, then the off-form Kimi Räikkönen in sixth in the second Ferrari, Nico Hülkenberg in the Force India, star rookie Kevin Magnussen in the first McLaren ahead of Jean-Eric Vergne in the Toro Rosso, and Jenson Button in the second McLaren finishing up the top ten.
After that, though, the clouds decided they were done with F1. Save a few drop at the final corners during the race, the track stayed completely dry. And except for the beginning and the end, for the most part, so was the race.

Luca doesn't believe in electric cars, but Ferrari will build more hybrids

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Confirming what we'd long suspected, the hybrid powertrain in the Ferrari LaFerrari was not a one-time thing. "I don't believe in the electric cars, but I strongly believe in hybrids," Ferrari boss Luca Cordero di Montezemolo tells Bloomberg. It's unclear when we'll see another hybrid Ferrari, though, as the automaker's current lineup is quite fresh - the oldest model is the California, which was updated for the 2013 model year - but make no mistake, there are more electrified cars coming from Maranello. "The answer is yes," Montezemolo told Bloomberg when asked about hybrids, although he was quick to add "without exceeding." It's that last part that is key for enthusiasts of the gas engine.
Ferrari's move towards hybrid powertrains reflects a pair of trends in both the political and motorsports spheres. Politically, automakers, even exotics, are being pushed to produce cars with cleaner emissions, or in many cases, no emissions at all. Look no further than the Range Rover Hybrid, which was just announced. Formula One's push towards hybridization and smaller engines is also informing decisions at Ferrari, with the LaFerrari already using hybrid tech already inspired by the sport.
Still, it's reassuring to know that while Ferrari is pushing forward with future technologies, that the gas engine won't go the way of the manual transmission in Maranello - at least in the near term.

Race Recap: 2013 German Grand Prix is old beginnings, new endings [spoilers]

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Just like at Silverstone last weekend, the German Formula One Grand Prix started with Lewis Hamilton putting his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole. The only thing missing at the pointy end of the grid was his teammate Nico Rosberg, who lined up beside him in England but back in 11th in Germany because of a team error in qualifying. So instead it was Vettel in the first Infiniti Red Bull in second, his teammate Mark Webber in third, the Lotus duo of Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean.
Again, just like at Silverstone - and Canada - Daniel Ricciardo used his magic beans to impress with the Toro Rosso, lining up in sixth, followed by Felipe Massa in the first Ferrari, Fernando Alonso in the second. Jenson Button in the McLaren, Nico Hülkenberg finished up the top ten.
When the lights went green, it didn't take long for the race to become a black-and-blue affair...
