    Saw a similar thread on another site and thought it would make for an interesting conversation here. Pretty simple question: what Ferrari(s) do you own, and how many miles have you accumulated?

    Nice to see some higher-mileage F cars! What's the reliability like? Still a little ways off from owning a Ferrari myself, but it would be driven regularly (meaning semi-daily) so I would definitely want to be able to trust it. From reading on here, it seems that the most reliable Ferraris are the ones that get driven regularly.

    Nice to see people piling the miles on their F-cars. Hope to reach those exalted heights. Just passed 16K miles on my Cali. 11 K of those are mine in a few months short of 2 years.

    I figured so, but I looked around for a similar thread before I posted this and didn't see one.

    Hmmmm......... In light of the recent revelations, how many miles have owners done in their Ferrari's, and how many miles do their Ferrari's actually show? ;)

    Can't speak for other models, but a 328 / 308 is very reliable if maintained and, I believe, regularly driven. I bought a 328 for those reasons. I bought a car to drive not simply own and look at. I consider it to be an experience similar to travel, recreational activities, hobbies. I did not approach a 328 as an investment. Others' reasons for owning a Ferrari may be different and are equally valid for them.

    3K on my 308 in about 30 years.
    About 1K on my 250 in about as many years.
    Life is short......work as many hours as you can.

    I get to chime in and say "I visited your 250 in person and can vouch for it"... just need one more witness to be listed as "owner" LOL!! I've never forgotten the invitation to meet up and see your amazing car.

    Been a LONG TIME, friend. I hope all is well and that life is treating you better than it was back then.

    It was a wonderful experience seeing your 250, with all it's wonderful patina in perfect condition in your garage. I will never forget.

    I've put about 30K miles between the three cars.

    110k 430

    Rotates Daily driving em'. Another guy that lives down the street daily drives his 458 special (parks on the street!) I'll ask him.next time how many miles he got by now.

    I put 15k over 3+ years in my Mondial t = bulletproof. First year was fixing thing previous owners did not have either time or money to attend to.

    Most horror stories in my opinion are cars neglected, or never driven. Horses need exercise.

    32k miles 575M Maranello gated manual FHP
    12k miles F512M
    10k miles F430 Spider, gated
    4K miles 550 Maranello
    1k miles F430 Coupe, gated

    The higher mileage ones tend to be more reliable/have fewer things to fix at their annual. So far.
