Like going to a super fancy nightclub with $35 drinks, when right down the street, at a perfectly nice, upscale, but decidedly unhip yuppie bar, that same drink is $13. And \"inflated\" is a relative term because I'm not accusing those types of shops as being dishonest; they're just more expensive than other shops. Because they can. That's the brand they've built, and the customers they've attracted and retained. And typically does not come with shoddy work. A great deal of the owners of exotic cars simply have a \"luxury lifestyle\" point of view, they happily pay more money to do (or have done) all kinds off tasks that could be done less expensively elsewhere, but they like the security of their world. And some may have no clue that the cheaper alternative even exists. The very wealthy always seem to have a way to find out where the other super wealthy people get stuff done. And if they are very image conscious (the average Ferrari owner...), they don't want to go to \"cheaper\" place. Whatever blows your skirt up, right?\r\n\r\nThe point I and #Sncstr are making is that Ferrari ownership doesn't have to be super expensive. \r\n\r\nIt's up to a Ferrari owner to find the \"unhip\" shops. They exist. You won't trip over one of Niki Lauda's F1 cars on the way to the service bay, no cars in the corner in the middle of a Pebble Beach restoration, but the folks there still know their work (odds are that the unpretentious owner will have had Ferrari factory training at some point). \r\n\r\nAnd if you live in a large enough town, you might even find a shop that does both things \u2013\u00a0they'll charge more to work on the highly valuable vintage or complex exotic cars, while still managing to keep the bills reasonable for their 308 customers. \r\n\r\nBut it's up to the owner to sift through the choices, assuming there are any, in your city, town village or hamlet.", "likes": 8, "timestamp": 1653069253, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 8628255, "authorName": "TexasCarsDirect (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/texascarsdirect/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@johnnyb11 We put it back on the lift to take pictures of the rockers.
