Naw. There are loads of people who are willing to pick things apart with no intention of buying. it’s the nature of things here and there.
beauty and value is in the eye of the beholder.
This just reinforces that she doesn’t want to leave me. with all of the reliability work done in the major systems - she will not need anything for the next 40-50k miles. Fluid changes etc and whatnot that are regular upkeep is easy.

 

she is amazing and maybe one day she will want to leave.

 

Thanks Alexander.
It’s on sale at JustRed for 100k
The car has every major system sorted out. So for the next 40/50k miles only routine maintenance. Oil change and belts.

Ferrari has long considered a belt job a seperate job. The major was specified at 30k miles. The belts at 3 years or 30k miles. Can be done in conjunction with a major or not.

No reason whatsoever to do a major every 3 years and ithas never been Ferrari's position.
