I got to see this car first hand along with a tour of the rest of the Ferrari dealership when Nick (4RETECH) installed my springs on my Evo. Thanks again Nick

Someone told me these cars need to be serviced (tuned) every 1000 miles. I was skeptical though.

im actually surprised that the bill was only $5-6k on a major service, on an F40. my neighbor has a quattroporte, and the scheduled 5000 mile service (oil change, trans flush, and a "30point inspection") ran $1200, at a Ferrari dealership

Nah, just every 3 years or 15,000 miles whichever comes first.

You are reading it wrong, Labor alone was over $5K, parts are another $2K and set-up time,i f he went for it was another 5-10hours @$155.

That $1,200 QP service is includiing parts.

I always sorta liked Ferrari's. Friend of a friend introduced me to a guy in the shop ,I was working at Saturn at the time, and next thing you know when they needed someone, they called. Been here over 11 years now.

Chaotichoax: If you are close(spring Valley,NY), stop by....
