They like to be driven. Yours just proves it. Go for 100K. I am jealous because mine only has 19K.

Great car you have

Well maintained and driven with mechanical respect, there is no reason why a Ferrari engine shouldn't do 200.000 miles. My 430 just celebrated his 31.000 miles, she's still a baby but growing up and getting mature. It's just impressive how long it takes to properly brake in these engines. Now, at 31.000 miles, I can start feeling she's getting really strong now. The next 31.000 miles will be pure plaisure

Take good care of her, yours is beauty Lucca!
