Looking to buy first Fcar on budget, which model least expensive to maintain

They will all need expensive work. The newest 430 is now 11 years old. Price a brake job lately? Gearbox rebuild? Bad pump replacment?

Price the repairs before buying. If they make you poop your pants, then maybe the car is not for you. Budget and ferrari do not go together.

 

*sigh* another thread by someone who A) is 14 and wants to pretend that they're "buying" a Ferrari or B) Has been "in the market" or "shopping" for a Ferrari for years. And will ALWAYS be shopping and at the last minute find a reason not to buy one. For example "I've been looking at those for a while.. I'm totally going to get one soon but I just have to pay for (insert children, wife's new car, etc. etc.)"

No fear. The answer is a 360. But not just any 360, THIS 360. I will warn the OP though that majors are in the high 5 figures! See the breakdown below:
$6000 for winter vacation to Turks and Ciacos. Because so many of the "repair costs" are extras like refinishing the engine bay panels or upgrading the shocks. Not truly essential but added to the costs to inflate the end price for effect.
$1000 for various Ferrari clothing to wear "that only people who own a Ferrari would wear"
$150 for a used throwout bearing purchased on ebay to keep in the garage. This serves two purposes. For anyone who is going to visit you can tell them that the car is in the garage "getting serviced". Then let them hold the part to really lend credibility to the claim. And.. to look at and smugly smile to your self thinking "replacing this in a REAL 360 would have set me back $6 grand. Gosh that's money I didn't have to spend by NOT buying a real 360".
