Thoughts on this car??
Took a look at this car today, completely unintentionally, I was set on a Gallardo but, of course, I ended up on something completely different.
2001 360 Spider. Titanium on Bordeaux and best of all it's 6 speed. It's got 25k kilometers. The price is pretty good already too and I know they'll come down a bit. Tubi but no shields.
Could you daily drive a 360 in the summer??

I second all of these sentiments.
That is a beautiful car, and you could totally rock that as a daily driver. Manuals aren't so common - and are getting rarer with every subsequent model. Shields are no big deal - if you really want them, you can buy identical aftermarket shields for less than they were from the factory. What kind of wheels are on the car...? Colored calipers...? How many miles...? What are they asking, if you don't mind the inquiry...? When was the car's last service, what was it (i.e., 15K, 30K, etc.) and who did it...? Does the car come with full service history...? Does it have all of its books...? Were you able to see the window sticker...? Does the car come with a spare...? Does the car have all of the options listed on the window sticker...?
Seems like a great car, and if an independent PPI checks out, I think you should definitely pull the trigger. Good luck and keep us posted...!

Although the six speed is a very nice feature, I might still go for a more modern G assuming relative price parity.
BUT, then again, what do I know? - I'm drunk right now!!

Do your due diligence. I believe that particular car has been for sale on and off forever. I think it's one of the cars I looked at 4 or 5 years ago when I got a 360.
Ask about it on Fchat in the Canada section.
I had two of those in 6 speed. They're great cars.
Documented and up-to-date service are key.
The other thing to consider is resale. Those combinations are death, especially in the GTA where everyone seems to want red/tan. I personally like it, but my experience is that titanio is the least desired color in this market.
Why don't you consider that ithaca verde G spyder that's being quietly shopped around? If I could get away with driving that thing to work, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
