Ready To Purchase But Cost Of Ownership Question

The gearboxes dont need to be replaced like that.

As far as maintenance goes i find them reasonable, heck i have 3 bmws and the service is often more than my ferrari and also when any issues arise. I am not sure on mercs

 

For an out-of-warranty Ferrari, figure $3 a mile, if you drive it. If you don't drive it, figure $3,000 a mile.

 

The F12 or Lusso will each come with 7 years free maintenance. On the Lusso you’ll be paying for tires and fuel until 2026

depending if you have Ferrari warranty options, repairs could be covered there as well.

575... of your options would be the most expensive to maintain, but is an awful lot of fun when you’re driving it!

S63 i’m not sure if you should be more worried about depreciation or cost of ownership when it comes to services and repairs... LoL
Repairs on any AMG model are costly.

All my opinion, from previous personal experiences with the vehicles you listed.

A

 

my vote is f12 or 458 for your price range. i'm complete biased though.

 

Since you are price sensitive I would find a good independent mechanic shop and ask them to give you their labor rates, and rough estimates for things like oil changes, drive belt replacements, alignments, the common things that might happen

You're probably referring to the PTU on the FF/Lusso in regards to the 15k mileage mark - there are numerous threads with graphs and charts on the forums detailing the issue

 

Whoever gave you the advice about the gear box needing to be replaced is wrong and don't listen to a thing they say.

Regarding the s63. You are absolutely going to lose a ton of money on depreciation... There is ero avoidance of that. You will lose likely 100k plus in depreciation if not more.

F12 will depreciate very little and have proven extremely reliable. That's really your best bet if your budget allows go for a sub 15k mile car. Or sub 20k car and drive it and be happy.

A 575 will need it's clutch replaced maybe as often as 15k depending on how you drive it. The clutch job isn't cheap but it isn't crazy expensive either.

The f12 is twice as much money but 4 times as much car.


The lusso is a great car too but your going to get hit with some depreciation.

 

Having owned numerous cars in all those categories I can say that your best choice is a good quality 575 Maranello. Though I currently own the 812 SF I could easily own another 6 speed 575 if I had money and garage space to spare. Maintenance is on the order of modern cars and relatively inexpensive.
