£30k of servicing bills, is this the norm. for fezza's? Surely not, surely warranty would of covered alot of work?

Works out at 5k per service, and thats if he has all the bills from all 5 previous owners-so it could be more.
I would love one, but my indi chap (who specialises more in Ferrai than Porsche) reckons 10k a year. Too rich for me. Lovely cars though.

I'm sure our resident warranty expert Vesuvius has said on here before that if you have the Ferrari warranty they will only pay out a maximum of £1000 on a claim. Which probally wouldn't even cover a couple of cross threaded dust caps.
He'll be on shortly now the word warranty has been entered into a thread.

I read somewhere once (might have been Evo magazine) that everything at Ferrari seems to cost at least £1000 and then upwards only in multiples thereof.
