2001 Ferrari 360 Spider With 15K Miles, at $69,500 With One Day Left On BaT
My expert opinion and pricing analysis on the offer
Fifteen thousand miles on a 24-year-old Ferrari is the headline here, and it checks out. The current owner acquired this 360 Spider in 2016, and the car has been used sparingly since. That kind of restrained ownership history is genuinely reassuring on a mid-engine Ferrari, where deferred maintenance tends to announce itself loudly and expensively.
The December 2025 service is thorough and well-timed: timing belt, oil change, coolant flush, fuel pump replacement, transaxle fluid, brake fluid, and a fresh set of Michelin tires. That is effectively a comprehensive recommissioning, and it takes the biggest question mark off the table for any serious buyer. The Carfax is clean, with no accidents or reported damage.
Now for the honest part of the conversation. The average sale price for a Ferrari 360 Spider F1 is $83,046, according to Classic.com, and recent data shows F1 Spider values averaging around $78,536, with the F1 gearbox cars trading at a meaningful discount to their manual counterparts. At $69,500 with one day left on the clock, this car is bidding below both of those benchmarks, which on the surface looks like value. Classics on Autotrader places the broader Ferrari 360 Spider market between $55,000 and $159,900, with an average asking price of around $102,526.
The F1 gearbox is the elephant in the room. It was genuinely exciting technology in 2001, but it is a single-clutch automated manual that feels slow and jerky by modern standards, and the clutch wear and electrohydraulic system upkeep keeps buyers cautious. That said, for a buyer who understands what they are getting into and wants an accessible entry into a beautiful, naturally aspirated Ferrari V8 Spider without paying manual money, this is a reasonable proposition. The Tubi exhaust is the right addition on a car like this, the red over beige color combination is classic and correct, and the fresh service history removes the usual anxiety about what has been neglected.

2001 Ferrari 360 Spider listing details
Under the Pininfarina-designed aluminum hood sits the 3.6-liter Tipo F131 V8, a flat-plane crank, dry-sump motor with dual overhead cams and five valves per cylinder. Factory output was 400 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels through the electrohydraulic F1 sequential gearbox with paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel. The 0-62 mph run comes in at just under five seconds, which remains a respectable number and sounds considerably better than that figure suggests thanks to the Tubi Style exhaust fitted to this example.
The exterior is finished in red, wearing a power-retractable black soft top and a Challenge-style rear grille that gives the tail end a slightly more aggressive look than a standard Spider. The 19-inch split-spoke alloys are shod in fresh Michelin rubber. The seller does note creases on the soft top, which is worth factoring in.
Inside, the beige leather bucket seats carry Cavallino Rampante logos on the headrests, the steering wheel is leather-wrapped, and the instrument cluster includes a 220-mph speedometer, an 8,500-rpm tachometer, and a digital fuel readout. Climate control and a CD stereo round out the cabin, and the machined aluminum pedals are a period-correct detail that ages well.
2001 Ferrari 360 Spider quick take
The 360 Spider occupies an interesting position in the Ferrari market right now. Spider values have been softening compared to the hardtop Modena, and the F1 gearbox cars sit firmly at the entry level of the 360 family, which means buyers get a genuinely beautiful, naturally aspirated Ferrari convertible for money that would barely buy a well-optioned German SUV. This particular car makes the case well: low mileage, a comprehensive recent service, a clean history, and a color combination that has never been wrong on a Ferrari. The F1 transmission is a known quantity, and buyers who go in clear-eyed about its character and maintenance requirements will find it entirely liveable. If the bidding closes anywhere below $80,000, the winner is getting a well-sorted Spider at a price that reflects the gearbox discount more than the condition of the car.
