Buying a used car always comes with some risk because of the vehicle's ownership history. An inspection can catch many potential issues, but gremlins can sneak by, leading to costly maintenance and repair bills down the line. One Ferrari 430 Scuderia owner experienced this with the car's first service racking up about $14,000 at today's exchange rate (£11,000) in repair costs.
The owner dropped the supercar off at the mechanic before Christmas and received an email about a month later detailing all the issues found. It needed new suspension bits like bushings and rubber gaskets, which he had completed at a different shop. The Ferrari was also leaking coolant, and had several other issues like a door rattle, loose taillights, missing door striker inserts, and rusty exhaust silencers.
