It's a bit pretentious so it's embarrassing to mention and, also, I don't know if I can take another "do you have any idea what the maintenance cost is, on one of those?!" comments from some, random stranger on the internet (not you - others)
It's worse than when I bought the Aston

 

McLaren 12C?

 

Alfa, Lotus, any GM product. What is it?

 

Good points, all of those. I got this:





So now my garage looks like this:





So no more room for the Supra.

 

You like yellow

Congrats KAJ! sweet machine

 

dO yOu KnoW tHe MaINteNanCE cOsT oNe oF ThOSe?? Lol, that's pretty sweet man! A lil' jelly over here.

 

Honestly, I have always been dead set on red with a tan interior. But, after seeing them in person, the 360 looks best in yellow, in my opinion. Much like the Supra. I almost went with a 4:30 instead, which absolutely, definitely would have been red with a tan interior no discussion

Thanks! On a serious note, maintenance isn't too bad when you do it yourself. If I can find the software needed, I would even do my own clutch. Have already begun fixing some of the cosmetics that I was unhappy with. Not as expensive as I thought it would be. And, actually kind of fun to have a different type of project.

 

Did you go manual trans or the "fancy" F1 trans?

 

MT cars were priced 50k or more. I'm definitely good with the F1 box.
Plus I can still drive with coffee in my hand, seeing how there are no cup holders lol

 

I always assumed the maintenance costs were "more than you can afford, pal", but I'm interested to follow along as you do maintenance work.

 

Not reeeeeeally. If I want to buy all parts with the little Ferrari emblem on them, I could pay quite a bit more. If I'm not picky what stamp is on my fuel pump, coil packs, etc I can save a ton of money. Then there's the labor period you don't want to know what they charge for labor lol
Even the stuff that is specific to the car isn't too bad. It's more expensive than what they would be for other cars, but not atrocious.
I.E. I was missing a knob for my climate control. I would have to buy an entire climate control system. If I could find one it would be about $1,300. Used units on eBay are between $700 and $900. All that for a knob.
Or...
I found a knob that works from a Toyota Sequoia that ran me about $14 shipped.

 

I have to ask how this was discovered that it was a match, or perhaps it isn't?

 

I'm a huge fan. Beware of the trans they age like milk. Gated are certainly worth much more but hell that is a great car.

 

In for answers. Are there Ferrari forums?

 

I just searched for 40mm climate control knobs to find something that looked OEM. Toyota Sequoia came up over and over. I have a Sequoia so pulled one of mine off. Perfect fit.
So now I just need to keep looking for something I'm happier with. I may run to a junk yard for test fitting then order a new one.
Or...
There is a dude with a website that sells one that looks OEM, for $120. They are the same on the outside, just not underneath. So... May as well find my own. I'm trying to find something aluminum.

There is Ferrari Chat. Ferrari forums are NOTHING like this one. So few people work on them, themselves
