7. Once you buy a 308, find a good mechanic. Then listen to his wise counsel. And give him a thank-you present.
Though in most instances you'll want to use genuine-issue Ferrari parts, the savvy mechanic knows that a set of Repco
brake pads ($45 a set) works just as well as Ferrari pads ($180 a set), that an electric radiator fan switch from a VW
Rabbit ($10) is the equal of a Ferrari switch ($63) or that the electric mirror switch from a BMW 7-Series ($26) is the
same one Ferrari uses (at $70). A good mechanic can make your dream of owning a Ferrari a little more affordable. |
