Hello long story short i have some incredible parents their getting older I’m getting older and I’ve always wanted to buy them a car. I’ll be buying them either a F360 or F430 this summer and last thing i want to do is leave them with a large repair bill. Their fully capable of affording the maintenance but i want to give them something they enjoy not something that gives them anxiety. I read that the F430 is a more reliable car and less expensive to fix when things go wrong. I’m leaning towards an F1 430 spider or coupe. The manual will be out of budget. i have read that i need to be worried about cracked head lights cracked tail lights clutch replacements which sound like their only 5-7k to have replaced? How about with the spider anything commonly fail on the auto tops? Looks like a very complex system. Please let me know if you think a 360 is a better choice and why. Also when it’s time to purchase and suggestions on where to take my business and maybe where not to go? Thanks
360 stick wld be lower protentional maintenance than 430 f1. the f1 actuator is a 7k bill and the headers about 10k if you replace them with capristo. the convertibles can be issues on both cars as they are the same unit. neither of my 430s have had issues but my brothers 360 top has been a nightmare. how old are you parents? id buy my parents (late 60s) a California or something, not a 360/430. also this shld be moved to the correct subforum.
2013 California or later. Excellent advice. Perfect car for anyone, but more so based on the description above. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
