I bought this Cheap Ferrari 360 that sat in a foreclosed house for the last 7 years; and while we were initially able to get it running, it only took a few minutes for it to break. Today we go through and find everything wrong with it, and if it was worth buying.

29,000 miles and the zillion dollar car requires SERIOUS maintenance. Ferrari should be ashamed. This is simply not acceptable. By any standard. Ferrari should take the car back and fix it free.
This almost became a NSFW VIDEO 4:40
Best off buying a universal fuel ⛽️ tank BUNG
How did you become so smart with the workings of ferrari ? These are very interesting videos to me as I have always done my own work . Just on generation 1 small block chevies . C1 and C2 corvettes . If I had the money I would have a Ferrari .
😂dead Mustang 😂
Oi way all my hair fail out 😂
Cool … I’m thinking of tracing down my 360 which I bought new maybe still in one piece grab it & fix it good
Before i got a toyota fj cruiser i bought an AMC Gremlin. The reason i bought the gremlin because it was very simple. Even I could work on it. None of these super, hyper cars are problems. They aren’t driven enough. Labor and parts are very expensive. My porsche, 1962 356, used a lot of VW parts. I would
Buy a new ignition switch for a VW for $3, same as a Porsche ignition switch was $35. Todays cars of different brands from the same manufacturer are the same. Fiat, owns Ferrari. There are Fiat parts in the Ferrari.
What a nightmare! I put ignition cleaner in Cruze petrol and it goes like Ferrari.
It’s probably electrical ground problem…
Spoke to soon when you said to your mate the price is not going up since it started 1st. Greed is a bitch sometimes.
Used 25$ a piece
I am new to your site. Really enjoy your time that you explain what’s going on with these cars
Why not just remove the immobilizer?? Also have a question- if I have a mclaren and I want to an the stock ecu and another ecu with a different tune, if I switch ecu’s would I run into this problem?
What junk.
That top us controlled with hydraulics? That’s amazing
You had fun sitting on that emergency brake 😂😂
Those are Bosch motronic ECUs, also used on Alfa's from the 2000s, for example the Alfa 147 GTA has the same problem because the ECU is mounted on the exhaust side of the engine head and the heat kills them you can repair them by replacing the cap with conductive epoxy and remount them with some heat protective shielding.
here's a nice guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh0-ppZhed0
Sam brother how are you I hope this finds you and your loved ones well 💕 have a good day brother
Amazing how poorly engineered and made these boxes are ….
Omg, another 20yo italian "reliable" fiat with ferrari sticker. Good luck.
I know how o bcm2 immo bypass on vag cars, but it still requires a immo to be found just doesnt matter which one. the immo just by code.
Sam: #1. Thank you for not inflicting your (poor) stand-up comedy routine on me, as some of your YT competitors do. #2. You asked early, "Why do I do this?" But you haven't answered that question. Factoring in all your labor at minimum wage, will you come out ahead, financially?
Thanks.

Jump starting older Ferraris will damage the ECU, I had it happen. on a 1992 348ts.
Those ecu’s look very similar to the ones that are on 04-07 cadillac cts
Sounds like your friend made his Ferrari much cheaper to operate lol
About the "voltage spike" frying the ferrari computer while jump starting it…
A 2 dollar lightbulb connected in series for 30 seconds, before you try to jump it, would save these precious computer modules.
When you jump-start them with a long dead battery its not the voltage spike that kills the computer, its the inrush current. Inside the electronic modules you have capacitors. If the cars battery is dead and all those capacitors inside are discharged, there is a significant instantaneous current flow the moment you apply the voltage from your jump pack, so you should first connect the jump pack with a resistor in series for 30 seconds or so to let those capacitors charge up. After you do that, then you can connect the the jump pack normally and continue as you are.
flood car?
1st of all its a late model, so expect more parts to fail in the near future.
If the car has been sitting for years without running those timing belts really should be replaced. Sitting in one place for a long time can lead them to take a set and cause failure.
You also really can't inspect the timing belt to determine whether or not it's close to failure. I've seen very good looking timing belts fail due to age or mileage. I've also seen really bad looking timing belts going just fine
In my experience, most exotics are built with inferior craftsmanship.
Ferrari, looks good on paper.
Its like your favorite nightmare! Got this sweat deal man, now just rebuild the car the entire car, no big deal. Nice work, impressed with the knowledge on such a complicated vehicle.
dude. those are worth about $350 US dollas . i think you should put them back into car once all dun. it will appeal to younger drivers and open the Market up more to sell this car. this much i no . if an old driver wants it. take it out if they dont want the doof doof doof . love your work guys.
Samcrac id like to know how much this has cost to buy as is. to no where i should start at for my next car . not sure what car yet but one will stick out at me one day soon i have the cash. but not for a exotic car tho. . maybe after a few like u did to build up the funds. how do u no when you have not gone to far into it . how you no when to stop . where to stop.
computer was not ground to car so wouldn't start. maybe a new computer and sensors crank sensor an so on. or new battery as well
Should have bought electric- faster more dependable – clean
who cares. and no the computer bolted down would no way have anything to do with car starting or not, just content for youtube im guessing……… ffs i made the first part of this comment before the vid finished , my god these boys never worked on a car ever. scary stuff
Is ya truck a hybrid Sam?
Is that shampoo really working?
