Read this guide, it should help
Ferrari Buyer's Guides - Ferrari Life

Maintenance costs will depend initially upon what services were performed on the prospective vehicle and when.

If deferred you could have an $8K-$10K bill as follows:

a) Clutch- F1's require a bit more replacement than 6 speeds- average cost is $5K-$6K assuming no hoses or relays or the pump need attention or replacement.

b) Belt Services - every 30K miles or 3 years average and the 3 years always comes first. $1,500.00 -$2,500.00 depending on what's needed.

c) Major Services - at 15K and 30K miles. If cam seals are leaking at 15K service, the full 30K service is usually done, and that's about $6K.

d) Fluid Changes- every 2 years - brake, F1, and cooling - about $1,200.

So you need to do your homework before you leap to know what you are buying.

Ferrari's are not Porsches or VW's. Average oil change is $350.00 - $450.00.

Ferrari's need much more maintenance than many other cars especially with timing belts that should be changed every 3 years or 30K miles which ever comes first.

Oil should be changed every year minumum.

No short cuts to maintenance; no rule of thumb to mileage driven.

You have to think of a Ferrari as quite different from the vehicles you own or have owned.

They are great cars but do need to be cared for.

agree with the advice given.

in addition, most f cars aren't driven much so they often have issues even with inspection and immaculate service record. so, getting a warranty from dealer would be ideal and worthwhile.
