He cant have been that happy with his service center as it's been all over the place.

Thats not bad, £3200 a year over 5 years including a new clutch.

Yup, sounds just a little on the high side, but not by much.

Welcome to performance motoring!

The figure is only warped by its expensive clutch service, other than that it looks like normal servicing costs each year...

Slightly high but not too bad over the 5 years...

On the same topic is there any reason anyone can see as to why this 2007 spyder is on for £130k rather than the market value of around £85k-95k?...

A bit higher costs than normal presumably because he has actually been driving the thing. Annual services are cheapish, but if at each service they are doing a major service because you've done the required mileage, then its gonna look expensive.

[Mario149]

Also bear in mind that those all appear to be main dealer services. If you took the car to an Indy, I reckon you'd be able to knock about 30% off those servicing costs, so long as it's the same sort of reduction you see with Ferraris.

[christmc]

Yea perhaps it is normal, i think for me who will be in the market for a G in the next 6 months I was just supprised because it actually put me off a little.

Honesty is great but when your trying got sell something im not sure that amount of honesty looks very good. ( they will see all that in the service book anyway)

[BPD]

I would say for main dealer servicing it is about right. As suggested taking to an independant would be quite a bit cheaper. I just did a quick calculation off the top of my head and it would be approx 40% less than main dealer. This was based on 4 minors, 1 major and a clutch all being done at an independant.

I just got a bill yesterday for 3k on my 355 and thats now a sub 40k car!

Could it be the "Garanteed Mileage" ? *shrugs*

When you add on the price of consumables like 4 tyres, clutch, shocks etc, big bills ensue.
