Last Thursday night I went to the local Corvetes of Naples meeting. A new corvette owner came and brought his friend. His friend has a porsche. He told me he went in for an oil change and 12,000 mile check-up. This cost $800.:eek:
 
Ouch!

I read somewhere that Ferraris have to have the timing chain replaced every 7500 miles or so to the tune of several grand. I guess if you have the money to burn, then burn it.............
 
The Ferrari Enzo's brakes are something like $6k or $8k to replace every few thousand miles or one hard auto cross day later.

I had read recently about the Ferrari Enzo, the complete brake job with rotors $25,000. When you pay over 1 million for a car, I guess that is what you woud have to expect.
 
:eek: Now I really feel cheap, I quit taking my car to the dealer for oil changes cause I didn't like paying the 70 bucks for it:yesnod:

The article I read I don't remember much about any more. Except the price of the brake job. The magazine borrowed the Enzo from a contractor/builder and his son so they could put the car through a few tests for a supercar comparison.

My next door neighbor had a Porsche Carrera. It was a nice car but every time it needed work he'd have to take it to Mobile, Al. I guess there's no place closer that works on Porsches.:nonod:
 
my brother used to have a porsche and that thing was a money pit. in the second year he had it, he had to spend $10,000 on a trans and rear end. the dealer did not cover any part of it either. his sun roof got stuck open one time too. it didnt take long for him to get rid of it. they may be nice cars but i was not impressed at all with the cost vs quality and performace.
 
Ferrari Enzo.

The money doesn't stop flowing once the Enzo is in your garage, either. According to a 2003 Car and Driver article, replacing the brake pads costs $6,000, and the carbon-ceramic brake rotors go for $24,000. A special oil must be used (or else Ferrari will consider the warranty void) -- the oil costs $60 a quart. Oil required: Shell Helix 10w60 (syn) $60 a quart, 12.2 quarts are required. That's $732 before you even get to the filter and labor! :shocking:
