Re: so you think the SVX is expensive to maintain?

Don't believe everything you read. The one rep where I work is in the process of rebuilding a 308. Its like the 4th one he's owned but the first he's totally rebuilding. He has found 99% of the parts for the thing through the actual manufactures or has had things made one off cheaper. Seems (like with every other car Ferrari simply assembles the thing with off the shelf parts). Granted body stuff is different but as far as mechanics go he's saving a fortune. He said Ferarri wanted $300 per bearing but he inspected the bearing and researched the markings on it. Traced it back to the company that made it. Chicago Rawhide I think it was. They sent 'em to him for $8. Sure he's doing a lot of legwork but then again. He's documenting everything so the next one he buys he'll have totally done for 1/4 of the price it would normally cost.
