F430 service cost?
Discussion
Just looking for an idea please of service cost I should expect for my F430- first time I will have 'paid'.
It's an 07 coupe and has done 8k miles.
Will be going (unless anyone convinces me otherwise) to Ferrari main dealer who completed last service (I don't believe we can name names on here but a well known group where they service in Essex).
Sorry not the most exciting of subjects but some guidance would be very much appreciated folks.

I assume you are going to a main stealer for the re-sale value?
You will get it much cheaper if you go to am indie.
Also consider that when you do come to sell you will probably put it up for sale here on our very own classifieds.
Consider also that someone looking on the PH classifieds will also do a search on F430 running costs. And when they do, they will come across your thread and see comments stating that indies are probably offer a better service than main dealers for half the cost.
Or you could PX and the stealer will cream you for not having a full FSH in which case ignore the above

Good point. The main Ferrari warranty expired this April when the car was 4 years old but the dealer gave me a one year extension when I bought the car- which was nice because when it was serviced as part of the deal before I purchased it, the manifolds needed replacing (I don't know why as it was something that came from Ferrari and as I wasn't paying I didn't ask).

Are these things pretty reasonable all round for running costs? Will have a budget of up to around £85K ish in a couple of months and these seem a very tempting proposition.
So far that's all which has been on it in 13 months of ownership. The car was purchased in August 2010 for 90k from an independent - so 85k should definitely get you a good late car (just haggle hard!). Be sure to get it inspected and use it as much as you can. Everyone I know who has had a 430 and actually used it regularly has never had any issues.

I thought ferrari main dealers were giving 2 years warranty on used ferraris now not 1 ?Try5t said:

Many thanks. The R8 was a daily driver when I had it - I like to get good use out of anything I buy - and would think I'd use an F430 pretty much anytime I could.The car was purchased in August 2010 for 90k from an independent - so 85k should definitely get you a good late car (just haggle hard!).

Mine's had two annuals now including the biggy at 6250. I can't remember the exact figures, but no horror stories. Both done at Graypaul in Nottingham, who give the best service I've ever had from a motor dealership.
Be aware of the suspension. If it's not had regular use the arms need replacing because some rubber bit(dead technical) stiffens, and that costs a fair few quid. Luckily mine was in warranty when the fronts needed changing.

Can you explain why it needed £6250 worth of work. Did this include tyres,clutch,brakes etcBe aware of the suspension.
