After working for years in the auto parts field, I have told so many folks: "If you can't afford a new one, you surely cannot afford an old one!"

[@anhiirr]

exactly and thats why a lot of these brands have exclusive buying/rights or require most ppl to buy/own used first to qualify to buy/order a new high/end luxury brand.

[@JStryker7]

That’s not necessarily true though. If you buy a luxury car that’s a little older, you might not have car payments. You can budget those savings towards repairs

[@pepinoveloz]

Yeah either that or your are a mechanic. I remember a colleague that bought a Porsche Cayenne for 7.000 euros and 200.000 km. After a while he had spent that amount in the garage and he was desperate for selling it. A porsche of 100.000 euros is not cheap to maintain.

[@howardscott7521]

I own an older Mondial. I do all of my own wrenching, partly to avoid crazy labor rates, and partly because I enjoy it. I find that most of the non driveline parts on the car are sourced from other manufacturers and readily available for reasonable money. When the door lock actuator recently broke, I cross referenced it to a Ford of the same vintage and got an NOS one for $40. Even had a Ford oval emblem on it. BMW window switches, fiat power window motors, etc. Parts availability is usually not a problem, especially when compared to my 1989 Corvette.

How do you find out what will interchange though? That's the hard part.

[@jmark7390]

I dont believe you

[@howardscott7521]

I spend a lot of time on Ferrarichat. Somebody has usually done it before and knows the workaround. On my door lock actuator, the ford part number was molded right into the plastic body of the part.

[@Cole-o8w]

Or they drive them 250 miles a year an have them serviced while they’re under some kind of warranty. If you’re rich enough to buy…keyword “BUY” a Ferrari then the maintenance isn’t going to scare you. Range rovers are an example of a vehicle you’d want to lease or buy and sell before the warranty runs out. See Doug demuros video on his. It’s insane

[@rudfil]

Rich people are notorious for neglecting maintenance on their expensive cars. Many Rich people aren’t even car enthusiasts so they don’t care of taking good care of them and that’s why many used Ferraris are a high risk for the next owner

[@batmasterson1715]

[@Fedgery007]

[@jasonknight5863]

I have one. A Ferrari. True it’s costly to service it. With per hour labor costs and the parts. The bill is high. But at least it’s not always check engine light on a small cheaper part is needed on the bottom of the engine like newer post 2010 BMW, Audi and Mercedes. Spending the same averaged out and those brands the car is worth next to nothing after being 15 years old. The Ferrari or Lamborghini is and continues to go up in value the older it gets. It’s like buying an expensive home in a high end neighborhood. It’s in demand so it goes up in value. Buying a cheaper home in a bad neighborhood will never see any real appreciation in price.

[@maxsjostrom67]

Still on Testarossa if you maintain it well and change the belts every 5 year for example it's not that bad. There is competition on the market on pricing for those so it's yes few thousand...but if you put that to five years, it's not that bad.

This is why when I buy a luxury car I get either a Lexus, Cadillac, Lincoln, Acura, or Genesis. Basically luxury cars utilizing volume brand platforms and engines. The other day Cadillac dealer wanted $300 just to replace the engine and cabin air filters. I did it myself, with Genuine ACDelco filters, for $30 from Amazon. The filter in my Caddy is the same exact filter used in other GM Epsilon cars like the Blazer, Traverse, Enclave, and Acadia. And yes I get it. “You have the money to own a new Caddy you should have the money to maintain it.” I wasn’t aware that owning a luxury car meant you shouldn’t be wise with your money in other ways.

[@kman-mi7su]

Yep, I had a Lexus and I did a lot of services myself. I can afford one, but it doesn't mean I'm going to allow you to rip me off or charge me an inflated price for simplistic jobs I can do myself or a local shop (as long as they have a good reputation) can do for less.

The saying goes when you buy a Ferrari you should have enough money to buy two just to maintain it.

You can usually cross reference the part number and find that they use Volvo for this, Ford for that, VAG for these items. It's the engine/transmission where you're pretty well hosed on costs.

I think it's hilarious how mechanics default to the excuse "I'm waiting for parts." I've worked on these cars and drive one every day for years and performed all the servicing he mentioned with no issues with parts, EVER. Just call Ricambi, Ferrparts, Wide World Ferrari (lots of good parts there discounted) and spring for the extra $30 shipping overnight and fix that car in ONE DAY. I just replaced an internal diff shaft in a 360 which the dealer quoted $20K for - cost me $450 and one afternoon of work. Got it back on the road the next day. You are overpaying for the variator solenoids. I paid $350 each for mine directly from Ferrari (599/430/Enzo). Within 1K miles, the oil will start to migrate again, so if you're replacing simply because there are traces of oil then you are wasting your time. If it starts to spill into other wiring or throw a code and cause a startup rattle, then it's time to replace. Same with the valve cover gaskets and plug rings - easy peasy job on that car. The front main will be a pain though. Either way, you need to call around for parts and pay the extra couple bucks and get the car back on the road. I know Tyler doesn't care but a normal customer shouldn't have to wait around for months for a car that is simply "in the queue" for repair.

[@keithdenney5420]

Yes, it is possible to build a flat-plane crank twelve-cylinder engine, although it's considered a very specialized design, often seen in high-performance racing cars, with the most notable example being the Ferrari flat-12 engines used in Formula One and some road cars in the past; essentially, a "flat-twelve" engine utilizes a flat-plane crankshaft layout with 12 cylinders arranged in two banks of six, positioned at 180 degrees to each other. Key points about flat-plane crank twelve-cylinder engines: Design complexity: Due to the high number of cylinders and the need for precise balancing, designing and manufacturing a flat-plane crank V12 is significantly more challenging than a V8 with a flat-plane crank. High-performance focus: These engines are typically found in high-end racing cars where the focus is on high RPMs and rapid throttle response, which are advantages of a flat-plane crank design. Historical examples: Ferrari is well-known for their flat-12 engines, particularly in their Formula One cars like the 312T, where this design was successfully implemented.

Buying a high end car is one thing, keeping it in good condition is another. Just because the car is 10 years old doesn't mean the parts are any cheaper, if anything they will be a lot more expensive, if you can find them.

A Silicon Valley billionaire my colleague worked for bought three exotic Italian cars. He pronounced them "socialism for mechanics" and sold them. Three NSX's took their place.

I’m curious whether you buy a Ferrari maintenance manual for this car and if so how much is a Ferrari mm?

[@brianwhitney9181]

Okay back up that Brinks truck to the front door of Wizards office and fill up that Hoovie ATM machine.😂😂😂😂😂

So Ford has Buick beat, cam solenoid For Ecoboost 3.5 2017 OEM from dealer 1/2025 under$30. I suspect same part # is used on bunch of different models, cheaper by the dozen.

Also, with prepaid dates, there is no worries about shrunken peeled back leather.

When I got my Porsche parts weren't too bad but they have doubled in recent years. Still not Ferrari prices.

I do sometimes wonder if the Car Wizard is genetically engineered? He seems to know SO much. I almost felt as smart as him at the 2 shops I worked at that did have Identifix. As he stated " you can't know everything about everything". Identifix is a god send!

Danielson knows his sh*t. What a smart tech.

That's the good ole Ferrari tax! Kinda like the big green weenie. It always gets ya!

[@autobotjazz1972]

I won't lie i would be shocked if the prices for parts on any Ferrari weren't insane. Their are various factors to why this is, starting with Ferrari knowing they can basically charge what they want for repair parts and then there is the relative low volume of production for anything Ferrari makes so it is not profitable for 3rd party companies to produce aftermarket repair parts for them., even more so when you consider how complicated and precise some parts for these cars can be.

I’d say this isn’t even a drop in the water for Hoovie. In the beginning of his YT career you could definitely relate to him with the repairs but it doesn’t feel the same way now that he’s loaded. It has turned towards more of a showcase of luxury. Luckily we have the Wizard to show us the interesting side of the cars.
