Poorly assembled may not be the exactly correct choice of words but the parts which are fabricated and brought together as a whole can leave much to be desired for a car that runs mega thousands of dollars. In terms of quality not driveability.

There is a crossover point where a savvy Ferrari 360 buyer could justify, financially, it v.s. say a Cayman S 2008.

Find one which has its 30K service
Older 360s typically have had all their bugs out of them
In warranty with new F1 clutch
Drive it for 20,000 - 30,000 miles

If you get the right 360, then the cost of ownership should be close to the same. You have to avoid major mechanical, non warrantied work and hope the electronics stay in place.

Never before could one make this statement but today, it is true.

Makes you think, doesn't it?
