You have to be kidding me. The first thing I want to see in a ppi is a checklist. A huge checklist of all the things that are going to be checked. You see, if you don’t have one, then you walk away from a ppi and discover real quick all of the things that weren’t checked.

I wouldn't do the thrust / main bearing issue, if the motor seems to be ok. Reason is, you can get a working used 360 motor for far less than the 20-25k. Even eBay has them now for 9-11k on average and 17k on the high end. I'd get a 10k motor and spend 5k on install.

Man, stumbled across your video's. So sorry to hear your story. Sounds like everyones worst used car buying nightmare. Good luck and I hope you get the best possible outcome.

Should also do an engjne compression and leak down test as part of the PPI

I have owned a lot of exotic/sports cars. Some new, some old, and these are probably the worse PPI results I have ever seen... I personally feel that even if you spend the money to fix the car, more issues are going to continue to pop up as you go along. Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if you are into the car for about what you bought it for in total repairs when everything is said and done. I think your best course of action is to get out of the car and mitigate your losses as best as you can. Then start fresh searching for another 360. Armed with the knowledge you have now, you will end up in a much better car and spend far less in the long run.

Between the two of us, we almost have a working 360!

The less you know the more careful you need to be. I have bought lots of exotics with no PPI because I have the background and the confidence to take on the unexpected. That experience allows for great deals to be had. Would be owners need to wrap their head around the fact that bargain basement deals and the opportunity to do full due diligence do NOT go together. I applaud Matt for being so transparent with his learning process and the realities of his car. Many people would have stayed quiet and passed the car on to another person.

Mr. Salvo, I am truly sorry for your situation on the 360. I have a similar issue with an airplane I purchased, even with a PPI in which I participated. Most were hidden and would've taken a lot of disassembly well beyond a pre purchase inspection to discover. Ironically, I've spent about the same amount as a Ferrari 360 costs on repair amounting to about 70% of the airplane's value. For my humor coping mechanism I painted the rocker box (valve covers) rosso corsa red on the new engine and there's a Ferrari decal on the new instrument panel memorializing the Ferrari I was going to buy before I found all of the issues. Again, I am truly sorry that you're going through this and I hope you resolve the title issue and are able to get the car repair so you can enjoy it. I hope the winds of fortune change to a more favorable direction for you..

That gage is used in the aerospace industry Most shop use this for checking.

I really like hearing him talk about how he would talk through a repair with a customer, with photos to go with each item, and options for repair with benefits to each option. Also the way he talks and explains the repairs makes me trust that he would be honest with the repairs.

I don't know anything about this guy but he really seems like he knows his stuff and when he talks I get zero feeling that he's trying to scam or anything. He comes off very knowledgeable and honest

Agreed. This PPI is very informative

The last ferrari I bought was the 1982 308 GTSi and was a auction mistake, the winner bidded $45k and I stopped at $40k, I thought it was over then I got an e-mail asking me if I would like to purchase the car for $40k ,I said yes but I will fly out to pickup and drive it to Florida and get it ready I gave him 1 week and pay for it in Scottsdale AZ! At that time I had 20 years of research and experience with the 308 and I was bound and determined not to truck this car! I arrived ,I did my walkaround and inspected the fusebox then the engine fluids and trans fluid! then we drove it to my bank and I gave the past owner a cashiers check for $40k USD, we went back to my hotel and he gave me the manuels/paper work/logbooks/title, I gave him a copy of the insurance binder! Now I was driving under his state plates and as agreed once I transfered title/registration/plates to me I would return his plates to him,well I made it and so did the car!!

Appreciate you making these videos and sorry for this mess. I have wanted a 360 Modena coupe for many years and search for them on a regular basis. Unfortunately these type of nightmare scenarios keep me from buying one.

I'm going back to pre 60's cars to buy.

Matt, sorry to hear your woes and I wish you the best of luck. With that said I like the channel and will be subscribing to see where you take us on your journey brother 👍🏼

Just found your channel - wow how brutal. Kudos for sharing your experience and good luck with this mess. As I’ve dropped into the middle of the story I’ll have to go back and see how the nightmare started and how you’re going to move forward out of it. It does sound very familiar tho as I’ve bought some disguised dogs myself and eaten some unexpected costs all the while wishing very bad things on shitty shitty people. You seem to have made some kind of uneasy peace with your predicament which is commendable.

Don't feel too bad--I got a PPI from a super reputable Indy Ferrari shop recommended up and down FChat when I got my 360. Cost me $700. When I got the car, I found at least six significant issues they missed within the first 24 hours. Fortunately mine were all cosmetic/nominal wear and could be fixed at my leisure for

I bought a manual 360 this January. I had a PPI done at a Ferrari main dealer which came back with €15k of work needed. I used this to negotiate the price down and I bought the car. In the end I spent €25k making it mechanically perfect and it has been worth every penny! These cars are amazing once they are sorted out! The key is to keep on top of the maintenance every year and not let it build up. Pay the money, get it sorted and you’ll have your dream car and all you’ll need in 12 months is an oil change!

There's a saying that goes, if you can't buy the car you want twice, you can't afford it.

As a big fan of the 360 Modena and in current search mode for one that is as close to perfect as possible for the right money I am heartbroken by your continued misfortune. I am a fan of the PPI but have been mostly penny wise and pound foolish when it came to actually having one performed. In the past, I have relied entirely on ownership/maintenance history records to make my purchases. To this point I've been relatively lucky with a minimum of financial outlay for repairs. I've been trying to make a logical suggestion as far as how you should proceed; perhaps a good attorney (more expense), and adding your name to the list of CNC complainants at your local AG's office. I think you may want to consult Normal Guy Supercar for a manual shift conversion for your car which may be less expensive. The F1 transmission is a high maintenance component and could be prone to more heartache even after repair. I wish you the best as you move forward and will be watching for more videos in the future.

I'm not sure why you think that adding another $20k on a manual 6-speed conversion on top of all of the other expenses is somehow going to work out to be cheaper. In the manual conversion they don't replace the transmission, as the F1 and gated six transmissions are identical. The only difference is the F1 transmission is hydraulically actuated instead of having a manual shift lever/linkage. They just remove the F1 pump, hydraulic actuator, install a shift lever/linkage and a clutch pedal, then re-program the ECU/TCU so that it knows that it's a manual. The actual transmission, gears, bears, clutch, etc aren't replaced.

Glad you went to Chuck and his dad... I bought my 360 Spider there back then. Very professional

Matt, Pre- Purchase inspection is always a better idea than Post-Purchase inspection. This is good example when an uneducated and unprepared buyer enters the exotic car world . Learn and educate yourself before you spend your money! TALK TO YOU MECHANIC FIRST! Ben and Chuck Salerno are great guys with excellent reputation. Very honest, knowledgeable and professional. Their shop is top notch as well- I have been there. Otherwise, Corsa red Ferrari 360 Modena is still a beautiful car! Good luck

Instead of spending $45,000 to fix your transmission and engine, I would buy a good used Engine and Transmission and have them installed. It is a lot cheaper, and faster. Also to make some money back you can sell your old engine and transmission for parts.

I feel for you, and you don't deserve this. F CNC. Salerno did PPI on my car in 2014. The best move I ever made prior to purchase and to this day am very grateful. After a thorough inspection, a worn clutch/flywheel and brakes/rotors were found and fixed by dealer. If not, I would have payed through the nose.

Now I understand the hang up with the title,your in California, possible the worst state for any car purchase! DMV/CAL mails the title to you and the delay can be CRAZY up to a year!

I am going through some similar issues with my 360. The repair bills SNOWBALL out of control when you're trying to decide between "now" and "around the corner repairs". I just did them all and so far am $40k deep into the repairs.

Good story. Love the series.

Sorry to hear about your experience, Matt. Hopefully you will be able to get your money back and return the car, if it's 20-30k for the engine work and 15k for the transmission, and all the little things could be well over 40k. Even though prices have gone up on pretty much all sports cars, I think you'd be able to find a clean example for a little more money, maybe even wait until this winter. Keep up the good attitude though, maybe this whole mess will work out better than we expect.

Chuck is clearly a pro. He's thinking "your dumbass should've done a PPI" but he's walking you through the car, giving you all the details. I'll bet you never make the same mistake again.

What an absolutely necessary step when purchasing something of this caliber.

Some things you just don’t buy used like sports cars, atv’s and motorcycles…..(just my opinion) as well you always have to consider the cost of maintenance on anything…..never purchase off of your emotions or just to fit in…..

The cost of a mint $100k ferrari isn't $100k. It's like $200k for a $100k car. That is the way it works. It's like sailboats. The money will crush you if you don't have deep pockets.

PPIs are like home inspections, most of them are crap and don't catch shit. Sadly that's something you only learn after the fact.

@ScrubRadius

3 жыл бұрын

This is pretty much true. But you should always get one anyway because anything they do catch can be negotiated into the price and will most certainly pay for itself. I ALWAYS do my actual inspections myself, when whatever jackass who I have doing the ppi has it on the lift.

If you have a seller that BALKS at having the car inspected by a knowledgeable mechanic, that alone tells you something about the car.

The morale of the story: You can buy a very well sorted Ferrari 360 for $95k-$105k. Or you can cheap out and buy a beater for $60k, and then spend another $30k-$40k trying to make it usable.

Here in Germany we have certified and accredited appraisers for almost anything incl. cars. Those are accountable to their findings to some extent. Not cheap though, but totally worth hiring. I know several who earn a living on delivery and end of warranty inspections on Teslas 😊

I recently bought a Lamborghini Gallardo with no PPI, very naive move. The car needs some extensive maintenance now as well, so I would advise anyone thinking they are smart, or safe, get a PPI. It is so worth it!

I feel bad for Matt, but not because he bought a dud. I feel bad for him because he's a sucker that got taken for a ride.

At least you have a large bargaining chip with the previous owner to get the title.

Im so sorry you got such horrible news- you will make the right decision for you and I hope in the end things go your way regardless if you keep the 360 or sale it.

I haven’t bought my 458 yet, but I know more about common issues on 360s than Matt from doing my homework on 360s, 430s, & 458s over the past 3 years. You have to do your due diligence before you buy bro. I feel horrible for what happened, but like you said, $540 PPI would have saved you $50k+. Kind of a d¡ck move to throw out there, “A PPI for you guys must be about $2k?” Chuck didn’t force you to buy the car or bring it to him. You chose to walk into his shop. His rates are his rates. You’re in the exotic car market. Don’t blame that on him.

I've admired these cars since I was probably 15. That was twenty years ago. I don't think I can say the same. Maybe some of the newer models are a little more reliable but then again cost three times as much.

360's are generally reliable in terms of 'exotics'. This is just a bad one.

Dying on bolsters would be common on any car one that's been taken care of. Paint metering a Ferrari is in my opinion a waste of time because a car that low to the ground, is going to have rock chips if its used and will likely be repainted. That repair expense is too high for a 360. Not to say it's not fair, but at that level of expense, you won't see the return on resale.

Yep, the paint and leather repairs are absolutely run of the mill normal things on a used car like that - you're not buying something brand new out of a Ferrari showroom, so to expect otherwise, is entirely unrealistic. If the repairs have been done well (which the guy confirms they have) then it's no problem.

aside from needing a new car you are in great shape (when someone says this is the 1st 360 I have seen it on - you are screwed)

"I've researched these cars" but didn't research the one you bought. No pre-purchase inspection on the world's most maintenance intensive brand? Buy a used car without even seeing the title? I am not trying to pile on or insult you, but it boggles the mind. Whatever you paid or borrowed to buy this is lost. Sell it for parts, you can perhaps get $10K out of this mess.

Hi Matt! I know you don’t know me, but if I may, I’d like to weigh in on your dilemma. First, I’m sorry you’re going through this. As a fellow enthusiast and fan, it hurts to see this experience come forward, so I emphasize with you. Second, you made an important point towards the end. “This was an emotional decision.”When you reach this level of the car enthusiast experience, most of it is emotional, and that’s ok to me. After taking a minute to walk a mile in your shoes, if I were you, I’d decide to move forward with the 360. My reasoning is you only have one first dream car purchase. Sure, the beginning is being sucky, but think of the memories that can be made once it’s done....finally being able to realize your dream as it was originally intended. Obviously, if the money factor doesn’t make sense then by all means walk away. I’m not saying put your livelihood on the line, but if you have the ability, I say go for it. I see hurdles like these as just that. Hurdles. It’s one step in the way of achieving the goal of enjoying my first supercar. I also see them as opportunities for learning and deepening your appreciation for these cars and what they entail mechanically. Unfortunately, your example is one of what not to do, but it’s still a lesson learned. That’s a good thing. I hope this brings a little bit different perspective on your journey with this car, and I hope to see more on it soon. Thanks and take care!

I’m sure this sucks but for the life of me how could you not get this inspected before hand? I man buying a used civic is one thing but knowing what the repairs for things on this car would cost would’ve told me to get a PPI. Sorry this happened to you and hope you get the title.

I should try this myself. Make a 'buy me a Ferrari' gofundme.

@@cathrynm Absolutely... If you're a an authentic soul, you would be surprised how much support you could dig up on any subject.. Matt is authentic, and was scammed by an evil POS.. He would get donations from thousands of people if he asks... You "wanting a Ferrari" is not nearly a comparable... and getting even more than 10 views on a YT video is much harder than it looks. Give it a shot, and you'll find out pretty quick. :)

@@ferrisbuellersdayoff Yeah, he got major slimed. He's out his money, and I think that car is the booby prize, because he can't drive it, he can't fix it because he has no title. I don't think he can sell it without the title. If he's got no place to put it, he's stuck storing it indoors. It's broken, and crazy repairs are part of the Ferrari thing. Still, it is a luxury item. Honestly, I don't want people to donate to me to buy Ferraris, even if I could. I'm not quite at that level money wise, but I honestly don't need the money. I'd rather them give money to real charities. The CNC business is a mess, but what can you do? I think he's just going to have to take it as a learning experience. Maybe try to get some KZread videos to help pay off some of the loss.

Good luck brother. Hopefully this KZread venture helps compensate you some to help with repairs. As a car guy aspiring to own an exotic like yours this has been painful to watch.

Thanks. Yeah this was definitely not how I wanted my first Ferrari purchase to go. Hopefully I’ll figure something out soon.

@@FML I'm here rooting for you. I know there is no fiscal value for that, so I'll watch all the adds to the end and like all your videos. I do genuinely appreciate your videos because I'm hoping to buy a 360 myself in the next year. I used to run a performance shop, and I'm even nervous about this happening.

Sheesh. I need to do an oil change.. Biggest problem finding a shop thats local to me ... 😳😭. Sorry dude.

Matt got what is called a fixer upper. Get the title sorted out, then over time get this car back into shape. It is a "classic", it is going to require work over the next 5-20 years to keep it going. Slowly get it back in action. I disagree with those that recommend tossing it. It is your car (almost). Make it a project to get it perfect again by 2025 or so and enjoy it.

Cut your losses. Option A: Once title is sorted put it up on Bring a Trailer No Reserve. There are idiots there willing to pay way above what it is worth even with the issues disclosed. Option B: trade it in on another car at a dealer. It may take 10 attempts but you will likely find a dealer willing to give you decent trade value for what it is. Obviously you will need to deal with your loan balance but it’s all about minimizing your losses at this point.

On the bright side aside from the paint, frame, engine, transmission, suspension, air conditioning components, and interior the car is in perfect shape! This is a great example of why non "car guys" should always buy vehicles with a warranty. I guess the problem is that you don't know what you don't know. Researching online isn't the same as practical experience. Not knowing about a paint meter for example. It's expensive but you're gaining valuable knowledge. Luckily values are still going up on your car so it's at least not mechanically totalled.

Matt you need a dark room and have yourself a good cry - things will be better.
