Hello everyone,
Can anyone tell me how much is a "fair price" for an oil/filter change on a Ferrari Spider F355 with less than one thousand miles put on the engine since the last oil change, done by previous owner 2 years ago?
Well, I took my F355 to a Ferrari dealer here in Miami for an "estimate" and ended up with a "2 year service fluids/filter change" estimate.
LOW AND BEHOLD:$1, 973.44 !!!
Of course, they also tried to push for the replacement of the "belts" (which are 4 years old) , for the mere cost of 8,000.00!!!
The car is from 1997 and therefore out of warranty. Do I really need to have this service done at a dealer for the sake of "keeping the records reliable" and therefore get a better price when I sell my car in the future?
In case I take it to an especialized private mechanic, what would be the normal range of prices for the same service???
Thank you ahead of time for your suggestion/responses.
