[DeTomaso] Ferrari 360 maintenance costs-- NPC

[pantdino at aol.com]

Or it may be your friends have been lucky so far.
I put this up on Ferrarichat and no one said the numbers were unreasonable except perhaps the depreciation was too high.

The belts used to be a 5 yrs service, but Ferrari currently recommends 3 yrs because of the number of failures that have occurred. If it breaks you're probably talking $30K.

360s are well built. I have many friends with them and they don't require 
nywhere near this amount of maintenance.
Belts are every 5 yrs and the service is fairly straightforwards...$3k to do.
Some of the other items listed are worst case scenario. I have two friends that 
ave put 30k on F1 clutches and they are fine. There may be a few sporadic 
ssues but nothing near $60k for 15k miles.
The 355 on the other hand could be a mess!

We do not have to be to scared of working at Ferraris, we changed a clutch
ere last summer without problem. If I had a 360 I would have put a Hemi
n it anyway, to make the car move. How about that statement?

 I can see why.

 I've noted that the early Ferrari 360's have come down into the $70K
 range,
 so I was getting an idea of what the ownership costs would be.

 If your wife complains about how much you spend on your Pantera, show her
 these numbers:

 The cams are driven by a toothed belt that has to be replaced every 3 yrs
 regardless of mileage. The variators are what advance the exhaust cam. If
 one breaks the cam stops turning and you bend all the valves. The F1
 actuator is what shifts the paddle gearbox. Actually it's more like $13K
 to
 fix but I'm deducting some because failures are not super common. Very few
 clutches last 20,000 miles.

 To be fair, any of us could probably do our own annual fluid changes and
 save $900 per year.

 -----------------------

 FERRARI 360 SERVICE COSTS for 6 yrs and 15,000 miles . Assuming purchase
 price of $70K, belts, variators, and annual service recently done.


 Belts every 3 yrs x 2 = 6K
 variators every 3 yrs x 2 = 1K
 Clutch assuming 15M life = 5K
 Annual service @ $1K per yr = 6K
 Tires x2 @1K each = 2K
 Depreciation @10% of value per yr = 33K
 F1 pump and actuator repair = 10K

 TOTAL 63K-- maybe less if the car does not depreciate as much as the
 Maserati coupes have.
