There aren’t many brands in the world that are as recognizable as the Ferrari brand.  Most people know what it stands for, exotic Italian performance cars built for both the streets and racetracks.  They are arguably the most recognized and sought after exotic car brand in the world and the 360 Modena certainly upholds that part of the equation.

This is still one of the more beautiful cars on the road despite it's age and its a relatively modern Ferraris despite having 3 new generations in front of it.  It stays true to the long legendary list of mid engine two seat sport cars that Ferrari has been building for decades.  Performance and beauty are delivered with this model.

MSRP New: Approximately $140,000

PMPR (Poor Man Price Range): $64,988 - $99,990

Current Body Style: No…replaced by the 430 but the average person on the streets will not notice the difference as the exterior differences between the two are subtle. Ferrari has since replaced the 430 with the 458 and that has also been recently replaced by the newest addition with the 488. 

National Inventory: 61

For: It’s a Ferrari and the closest thing you will get to dating a super model even if this one is no longer a Victoria Secret runway model. Most of the issues with these cars are noted and possibly sorted out so it won't be hard to find or figure out what the potential issues might be.

Against: It will always deliver unwanted attention. Be certain you find one with all or most of the service history as maintenance won’t be cheap. 

PoorManRichCars.com POV

Single Poor Man POV: There aren’t many cars that are as symbolic and put an exclamation point to the image of a single man.  Some call it a club, some call it a cult and others even refer to the small number of owners as a fraternity.  If you can you must. 

Married Poor Man POV: This car will present an escapism but will also leave all your married friends thinking you are the man as their wives wouldn’t have signed off on such a purchase.  Your wife will feel like a celebrity when she is riding shotgun but I hope she is not insecure as there will be many women doing a double take when you drive by. 

Divorced Poor Man POV: This car will work wonders for your image and social life.  If you have any kids they will think you are a superhero.  Your ex-wife will second-guess herself as friends will wonder why you guys split.  Lastly, you can feel free in knowing that in the stop light grand prix there are less than 1% of cars that can get off faster than what you what you drive.

Curb Appeal: 8 and potentially 9 with 19" aftermarket wheels

Bottom Line: Great Italian exotic that shouldn’t be as costly to maintain as some of the older Ferraris that you could purchase. It's still fun to drive and can be had with either their F1 transmission that makes use of steering wheel placed paddle shifters or a gated manual shifter. The gated shifters have become in vogue and the cars fitted with them are appreciating.
