    Help! What to check when buying a used 360 or 575

    After endless thoughts about upgrading to a 997 Turbo, I finally decided to keep the 997 C2S and get a used 360 or 575. The prices are quite attractive over here for 360s and 575s, but very high for 430s and 599s. Hence, it makes since for me to exploit the demand gap.

    I do NOT want an F1 transmission, only a manual will do. But since I never owned a Ferrari before, what are the top 10 things that I should check when getting the car. What would you do once you identify a suitably-priced 360 or 575?

    I need all the help/tips I can get. Thank you

    Go to FerrariChat.com and search the site, you'll find a lot of good info. I don't know much about the 575, other than it has more issues than the very reliable 360. The only big item to check for on the 360 is the cam variator campaign on earlier cars (<2002).

    Good luck, they are both great cars!

    I agree with Gary. Go to Ferrarichat.com for a wealth of information. BTW since you are insisting on a manual transmission I would recommend a later model 2003-2004 360. Ferrari improved the clutch assembly on those models.

    My gaffa has a 2005 575M and was just telling me that he is going to sell it over the coming months before it needs the clutch replacing and I'm sure he said something to do with the Cam. Pounds4k each was mentioned. Dunno if that is right or wrong if I'm honest but the car has only done about 6k miles. Seems harsh to me.
