Ferrari 360 F1 Spyder

[Zak33]

Right, it's yours truly's job to sort some stuff on this car, and one of those things is a service.

OK,....Maranello (Ferrari HQ) want £X amount for an 18,750 service (yeah, wierd mileage but its one of the services) and Kent High Performance http://www.theferraricentre.com/ also offer the same for £Y

Now, lets be clear on Block Exemption Rules: to keep the warranty ruinning on even a Ferrari, so long as a reputable dealer, with the correct parts, does the job it IS still under warranty.

And for the record also, simply the OIL CHANGE on this Ferrari is charged at WAY OVER £200 alone.

OK.....X= and Y= what?

And also for the record, the chap at The Ferrari Centre, (which is Kent High Performance's Rari dept) was so helpfull I nearly married him.

Information to help you:

Ferrari UK charge £150 per HOUR
Kent High Performance/The Ferrari Centre charge £55 per hour

which is less than the local Ford Dealer

Total stab in the dark here but how about...

X = £2000
Y = £1250

As for the labour being cheap... Maybe it's cuz they make a truck load on parts, etc or just that they hope the owner will come back next time they want to buy a car that costs as much (if not more) than a house?

Have to say BTW... How rich is the guy / girl that owns the car...? They don't even care about it enough to get it serviced... (personally I mean... it's so 'run of the mill' for them that they get someone else to do it)

damn good guess

X= £1800 plus vat
Y= £850 plus vat

And who knows how wealthy people's heads work

[Tumble]

more importantly, do you get to drive it down to the garage for them?

Why thank you... I just thought "what would be a ridiculous amount to charge for a service" and brought it down a bit for Y

And who knows how wealthy people's heads work

Very true... My old boss (self made, rich as you like) has been known to say things like "you can't get a decent bottle of wine for less than £50"... And he's talking about shop prices not restaurant prices too! I wonder if he realises that me (and most of the rest of the country) think "£50... I could get 10 bottles of (perfectly drinkable) wine for that!"

I think you mean "thrash" not "drive"

[Zak33]

I am still negotiating that bit of the deal.

TBH I'm gonnatry quite hard to have a small go-ette in it

Its gonna be expensive no matter where you take as they have to remove the engine to do a service on the 360 do they not?

All depends on what your prospective buyer is going to want to do, if they're gonna want to take out one of ferrari's second hand warranty jobs then I think it has to have a full ferrari service history not 100% sure on that though.

[Tifosi]

But surely a Ferrari FSH will help the cars selling value. And if you can afford the car the running costs are negligble. I can't wait to own mine

[Shad]

I can't wait to own mine

Amen to that

[Tifosi]

I'll let you know when i get my deposit down, got 9 years left to meet my target.

[oshta]

So Zak, do you actually have a 360 to service?

[Knoxville]

Says it all tbh

[oshta]

Maybe?

[Stoo]

Errr, no, when he types that he has a 360 to service, oddly enough he has a 360 to service..
