Yes it is a law here. Must be noted on every repair order.
The Cost to Own a 430 Scuderia

That'd be a nice car... and one which you could extract high miles out of (realizing it's value would drop due to i) possibly non Ferrari service records; and ii) due to high mileage... if one realizes that:
i) you had better know how to drive a manual transmission (so as to know what the automated single clutch is actually doing) and drive it always in manual mode!;
ii) you don't drive it in heavy traffic (results in clutch wear, in the extreme);
iii) you don't participate in the stoplight GrandPrix (again, clutch wear
); and
iv) you don't mind doing $10,000 clutch replacements at the 30,000 to 50,000 miles range (and 'way, 'way sooner if you don't observe the above!).
Oh, and the soft touch plastics / sticky goo switch faces is the unfortunate (and unconscionable norm) that takes $$ to get rid of.

I rarely watch Doug Demuro... He is so non technical, and his mannerisms which he so much accentuates as his trademark manner, bug me. His test of the Maserati Quattroporte V, was so, so dimwitted. However, if he did one thing positive, he singlehandedly depressed their value substantially, making them a stupendous value used. Oh, and he drove the QP in Normal, Automatic, which if you know anything about the Magneti-Marelli "F1" system, is daft.
I think a few people so with 4.5 million subscribers. He is good at what he does. YouTube is an amazing platform .
Shame about the stripes.
Car looks used, which is refreshing...

Still in for the 308 and 328 GTS!!!!
You'll still find insane bills for those cars, but I don't really understand it... they're not that hard to work on and parts aren't that expensive, generally. Ferrari tax is real.
That transverse engine (was it that way for all of that line of cars?) and how the transaxle is adjacent to the engine... make timing belt and clutch changes easy compare to most Ferrari's... The one thing it seems to me that might be hard is valve adjustments for the front bank of cylinders. Does the car have shim-over-bucket clearance adjustment? Can't be that easy to access those frt exhaust valves
.
The car could be ordered with grey stripes, or gold/bronze stripes, or none. Then the wheels could be matching color to the stripes as well if you wanted. I would say the vast majority have matching stripes and wheels but there are some out there with no stripes.
was thinking the exact same thing about the ignition lol, jfc

Car currently sitting on Cars and Bids at just above $140k.
They have a bunch of service receipts posted with it. Interesting to see what fluids they've used and some of the repair costs. Looks like a bunch of off-the-shelf stuff you could get at Walmart.
Mobil1 Gear Oil
Peak Coolant (You'd think this at least would be something special)
Castrol Edge 5W40
Penz Platinum Euro Bulk 5W40
Also looks like that by 22,000 miles the clutch is at ~80% used
$2200 throw out bearing replacement.
$62 Ferarri oil filter
Somewhere along the line they needed to do a heli-coil on something. Exhaust from the looks of it.
Pay to play indeed. Service records start at picture #77.
Something I didn't know, and maybe some CA members can speak to this. Car repair shops are required to set tire pressures to factory recommended spec as per state law?
Porsche ownership generally is (if you stay out of the dealer)
That’s been my experience as well. I’m in the aircooled world though, haven’t had a watercooled one yet.
I do as well. Think I will service the Cayman as well. Its a 2021 I will just keep receipts. I don't need $600 oil changes
My god ten k is huge huge mileage on any ferrari. 500 miles to 2 k is very typical..
Want to see a car people drive ? Look at used porsche mileage.
I have owned two.. some of the cheapest cars I have owned ever. And I have owned 25 or more
My friend has a 328 It is pretty yet uninpresside in most every way .Did a timing belt on it about 10 years ago and You couldn't give me one.
