The last time I took my Ferrari in for maintenance the bill was about 4
grand.
And that was just an oil change and a valve adjustment.   Not even a a
Ferrari oil filter.
Seems the whole engine has to come out to adjust the valves --
Seriously, I don't own one, but that is why.  Found one at a great price a
few years ago before the dot.lawyer prices started dropping out and did
some research.  The cost of ownership on the F cars is not necessarily the
purchase price.  Well . . . at least on the "pre-cared for" market.
Have a mucho day,
Aloha and be good
