1999 Ferrari 360 Modena Not perfect but a very affordable example

The Ferrari 360 Modena (1999-2005) introduced an all-aluminium chassis and 400hp 3.6-litre V8. Pininfarina styling set new standards. The 360 transformed Ferrari from temperamental to (relatively) reliable. Around 8,800 Modenas built. Values from £70k.

Engine: V8 generally reliable but: F1 gearbox actuators and pump expensive (£5k+). Manual preferred by many. Exhaust manifold cracks. Ball joints. Electrics: Relays. Instrument cluster. Body: Aluminium - check for corrosion. Accident repair quality varies. General: Budget £6-10k annually. Much more reliable than F355.
