    Can some experienced owners please chime in on what they think or have paid for the following services on an F430 (the one i am looking at is a 2005 w/17,500mi.)

    1. Four new tires (it has the stock rims)
    2. Brake Job (pads all around, not rotors)
    3. Annual Maintenance
    4. Wheel alignment

    I am in Orange County, CA, so if you guys know of a great place to send if i buy this car next week, let me know as well. Thanks again.
    (owner and I are only $7k apart and I am willing to meet him half-way price wise, so we shall see!)

    Tires will depend on what you get. Pirellis or Michelens will be about 1600. Bridgestones are less. Go to Tirerack.com. Many brands will fit. I pad the dealer around 1K for new pads installed. Maintenance also depends on the year. I paid about 600. for this year but last year was more like 1100. Average over the five years is 700. but you will pay more in CA. A precise wheel alignment including caster will run probably 500+ at a dealer. Really your best option is to contact a dealer or other servicer in your area and get a quote.

    Dave seems to have below average service bills. My second annual at the dealer was $1908. Annual service is around $1000. 5K is around 2000.

    Ask around for a good independent technician and tire and alignment specialists since car is out of warranty.

    Second annual service only. Still under warranty. I find that a bit steep.

    Sounds steep to me. Ferrame's sounds more reasonable and I know they pay more in LA than in the rockies.

    I would take the car out to Wynn in Vegas for the work. They just did my 15K (3yr) service for around $700. I replaced one left front tire for $450 (installed). I have a three pedal car and they did not change my transmission fluid (once every two years). The alignment was $550 but they spent around 4hrs on it. They weighted the drive seat based on my weight and the passenger seat based on my son's weight. They sent me photos of everything that needed to be replaced or fixed. This included photos of the inside edge of my tire showing the metal cord, dirty air filter next to new one, crack in exhaust bracket, new air compressor being put in, a cracked plastic part where the gear shift lever goes into the linkage, and pics of the weight on each tire during the alignment showing that is was now even.
