Service Questions
Does anyone know which car would require less service or would have be less expensive to service. A 2004 360 Stradale or a 2008 430 Scuderia. I have heard Ferrari's in general are more expensive than a Porsche.

I have heard the 360's have belts and the 430's have chain...therefore the 430's are much less expensive to work on. The diecast models of both that I can afford are pretty much equal in overall service costs.

While it is true that the 360 has belts while the 430 is chain driven, the 430 will cost more over time because the scheduled maintenance is much more expensive.
This is particularly true for the "major" services.

^ That depends on whether or not you have carbon breaks.
After 2008, all F430s came with carbon breaks standard. Obviously, this includes Scuds.
I would think that the Scuderia breaks would be larger.
As has been mentioned, several members own both.
I just have a standard 360 - so what do I know?

The major services - at 15K and 30K miles or every two years - require an "engine out" service on the 360 but not on the 430. That is where all of the consternation comes from.
