[dem maser]

Thats good.....hope they dont always charge you for something that needs doing to make up for it....

 

[Andyk]

It does make you think how they can do it....7 years.....Whats do you think a service on a Ferrari 458 of FF will be......2k a year maybe.....Thats 14k saving over the 7 years....

 

[dem maser]

Did they not put the price up by 14k though?? The FF is 221k!!

 

[Emtee]

That's astonishing! I don't know why they've done it? It's not like they have to to complete on service costs, but I'm impressed that they have nonetheless. It must be costing a fortune! How many qualifying cars would a main dealer sell in a year? 100? £2K per car per year, so £200K per year for each dealer?

 

[Andyk]

Same here Miles...amazing...surely the other big players must be a bit worried about that.....

 

[GransportFan1]

That is pretty amazing. Be interesting to see how other rival car makers will respond.

We can expect a lot of high millers in 7 years from now then!

 

[dem maser]

Good pont newton also ferrari are very over priced when compared to lambo or porsche
You need 200k for a 458 with an LP being 150k
250k fpr the FF woth toys but yiu can have an avantador now....the service is paid for as far as im concerned

 

[Andyk]

Avantador..Now you're talking Dem...

 

[dem maser]

They know the avantador will be better than the FF so they have to do something

 

[GransportFan1]

2 different cars though Dem. I bet a lot of new FF owners will use their FF everyday.

 

[Andyk]

I would hope so Adam....but not sure if they will....

 

[GransportFan1]

I think the newer Ferrari's are being used more often now, look at the F430, quite a few leggy mileage ones about, 599, not uncommon for those to rack up the miles either.

 

[Andyk]

Good to hear Adam.......

 

[GransportFan1]

Few F430's and 599's for sale which have around 25-30k miles on them. Ferrari have said the 458 can be used as an everyday car, not sure i would want to though.

 

[dem maser]

Not comfortable enough......the only everyday supercar is still a porsche

 

[Andyk]

They do make very capable cars Dem without a doubt......911 for everyday would be a joy.

 

[GransportFan1]

The 911 Turbo is probably the only supercar you could use 24/7. I bet a Turbo S with a PDK is all the Supercar you need.

 

[Andyk]

I've used an Esprit as my everyday car..............Saying that I've also used Elise, Exige, 3200, T350T, CSL, E30 M3.........So for me any car is an everyday car I suppose....
