Awesome! Congrats!

That's funny... I was thinking of getting a 360 CS... just to see what all the F-car hoopla is about. Can you elaborate as to why you like your 360 more than P-GT cars?

A wide open search for the 360 Modena shows a wide range of asking prices spread across seven years. I think a six-speed manual Modena (coupe) would be a lot of fun (though not a very fast or affordable as a track car) but the conventional answer is to say the F1 Spider is the car with the highest (dollar or percentage) retained value. That says more about the buyer and their intended driving.

I have to imagine there were some years when various updates make for "good" ones.

Above about $100K, it's far too close to the bottom of the F430 range. I think an F430, again 6spd coupe, then update suspension to do as much as possible for as little cost as possible and just live with it. That would be a lot of fun and a good place to enter the depreciation curve.

Carrera GT

It's an interesting car to consider -- the 360 -- but as ever, while the budget might be similar to getting into a 997.1 GT3 or a GT3 RS, the reality is a vastly different experience when turning the key at the track or visiting the dealer for a 10K service, etc. And like a GT3, it pays to know which way is up -- I'm sure an experience F-icionado would know all the nuances of which year to buy, which to avoid, etc.

I imagine the sage advice of "buy the best one you can afford" applies as well to Ferrari as it does to Porsche. But you come to that fork in the road -- do I get a '99 360 and put a toe in the water or do I get an '05 at 50% more dollars (and maybe an even higher percentage of depreciation) and go "all in" but avoid the incremental cost of getting a low-end car, doing upgrades, then updating to high-end car ... rather like getting a scruffy '04 GT3 then deciding to go a clean RS or even a 2010 RS ... after all, it's still similar money to get a new 3.8 RS ("best 911 ever") versus a five to seven year old 360 ... makes the 360 damn expensive in that context ...
