Usually the people who complain about Ferrari maintenance costs and the like are those who can’t afford the car but really want one. They are part of the reason the world thinks Ferrari’s are unreliable and cost astronomical amounts to maintain.

You are correct.
Indeed. If he’s got records okay. But the ad doesn’t mention them so run!
Yeah they really aren’t like that anymore. Modern ones starting with the 360 that is. Source... I have 3 friends currently who own a F430, 458, and 599. The whole Ferrari maintenance and lack of reliability thing is blown way out of proportion. Yes some models do require expensive services, like this 348 or the…
The modern ones starting with the 360 have gotten much better for maintenance and reliability. F430's are great. 458's even better from that standpoint.
They got better with the 360, and then the F430 was a huge leap forward. Alot of modern Ferrari’s come with like 7 years of maintenance included (my buddy bought a new 458 in 2012 that did). They have gotten alot better, but when you are paying that much for a bespoke Italian car, they aren’t gonna be cheap to work…
The opposite is actually true. Look at asking prices on cars.com for F430's (there are more for sale than 348's so its more representative of the market). Spiders are up higher in ask than most all Berlinettas. For most other brands the opposite is true. But not Ferrari’s. Or at least the F430.
Well he’s missing any kind of service records otherwise he’d mention them. That kills any Ferrari’s value.
That may be true, but both require the nasty 10k (roughly) engine out service like every 5k miles. And that’s hard to swallow.
Correct.
Yeah... having ridden in one, the Ferrari sound is there and honestly beyond that I wouldn’t care.
A really minty fresh 997.1 911. S or even 4S.
If you look from the bottom of the windows up and back, it is actually similar in shape to an original NSX. If you look below the windows you lose it.
The funny thing was that it was superior to the Mustang in every way and in every magazine comparison of the time (I was 16 or so then, I read them all). Yet the ‘stang still outsold it.
Correct. The Mustang GT of the era when this car was new put out 215 hp to the Camaro’s 275. In 2002, they put out 260. By the the stock Z28 was 310. Mustangs of that era were posers compared to the Z28. You had to get a Cobra to compete.
Buddy had one of these back in the day. Can confirm the interior does not look better. Different, but not better.
No kidding... so far from that it’s not even funny.
Don’t forget, everyone else was putting out anemic numbers too.
