How much to run a Ferrari FF

Saw this thumbnail and then noticed it was 15 minutes long. This is part of the reason why he gets a lot of stick nowadays, he chats s**t for way longer than is necessary.
I think the costs will be scary when its out of warranty/servicepack and you need parts.
Seeing as a lot of people here drive around in 7-14 year old cars, thats probably also the moment when people here would try and buy such a car.
Parts are generally 5-10 times as expensive as bmw parts. So a new headlight or somthing like that will probably be around 5k or so.
And for instance like some z4's had to have new steering colums at 1500-2000 pound, on a ferrari like this that would probably cost 10-15k :lol:
He drives fairly new cars so maintenance isnt a problem but when they get older......
A lot of 'maintenace' is also very specialistic. Like the hydraulic gearbox actuators. they will need service, and rebuilding is pretty expensive.
Not a problem (yet) for a current FF owner as these are fairly new cars, but you see it already starting on 430's etc.

There are a couple of FFs around where I live. One red, one black. I chased the red one across country one morning early on the way to work. I couldn't get close, and I'm not even sure he knew I was there : :lol:
seriously powerful, but not pretty. The Donald Trump of cars?

TitanTim said:They're definitely a marmite car but personally I love them as an alrounder drive across Europe type of car, 4 seats, AWD and a V12 but scary repair costs

The GTC4 looks the business! Perfect all rounder, IMO of course.
Christ , as we say in the electronics industry , very poor signal to noise ratio. The man really loves the sound of his own voice. I don't.
Fugly looking thing as well (the car that is)

To be fair if your worrying about mpg and other costs then maybe not the car for you :lol:
Good luck to him and all his cars, he gets a fair bit of stick but alot is pure jealousy. Anyone who takes the time and trouble to post vids on their Ferraris and Mclarens is OK in my book

Nictrix said:Strange, I had never heard of this car before and I saw one today in a rather ugly gold colour.
A black one passed us going in the opposite direction when we were on the Crieff run after the Killen turn off.
Admittedly it passed at speed! :evil: :driving:
Interesting that many think they're an ugly car, but personally think they're gorgeous, with a perfectly proportioned back end, and I prefer the look of them to the F12, 458 or 488, and I'd have one over any other post 2000 Ferrari.
Each to their own of course.
