Get your wallet out EuroAsian Bob! Your Ferrari 348 needs thousands to repair! 

It couldn’t have gone to a better owner that will care about it no matter what the cost 😊🏎️

@@wotrulke5868 It couldn't have gone to a better owner who couldn't have taken it to a better mechanics shop, who couldn't have showed it all to a better audience and you couldn't have received a better reply (I had to do that otherwise it wouldn't work).

All the service records the car will gain value, especially a car like that. Just need the right auction that gets the bidders pretty drunk and bid high.

@@sundown798 Yep a twenty grand service could add 30 grand to the value!

@@sundown798 In fact a car that has been utterly sorted out and running beautifully may do as you say and go bananas.

I was going to say something similar. Cool car. But you have to be a dedicated owner to have one of these.

The Daniel-san abides.

Dam good Ferrari mechanic

Bob is a good guy? I thought the whole bit between the wizard and Hoovie is that he’s the sketchy friend? The used car dealer lol

Curse you, Mr. Ed's Auto Parts! (shake fist)

The porsche 924 used the EXACT same door handles as the jetta. 30 bucks for the VW....Triple for the porsche

Sadly the MAFS are no longer available from Bosch, however, Fuel Injection Corp in California rebuild them for $275 each

Good advice ,should tell the car wizard so he can get the same exact part cheaper!

Did you ever use dielectric grease to keep out the moisture?

@@iceman9678 I tried EVERYTHING! I cleaned it, I deoxited it, I wrapped it with electrical tape. Yes I tried dielectric grease. A combination of tape and this grease increased the time between MAF pulls, but it still occurred. I exchanged MAF's with John Speake in England; He rebuilds Bosch MAF's and sent me the one off of his car and it still did it! The connector probably needed to be replaced, but I suspect that this part wasn't properly designed and eventually corrosion set in. I went around the car and cleaned all the other connections to no avail; None of them were bad. Crazy how one small simple item can make a car run like crap~

Only other thing is maybe change out the connector with an aftermarket type. I'm not sure the pin count and how it matches up though.

@@iceman9678 They don't make aftermarket connectors for this. Bosch connectors are available for about $15, but it would be a pain in the ass to change it out, so I just kept pulling the MAF every few months.

@@Flies2FLL Sounds like an ASSFULL of trouble...

I love their use of it. All they need is a dog named Toto...

Wow I just saw that supercell. Did it drop a tornado anywhere? I live in OKC so I know the drill buddy.

I had one for five years, 2 years as my daily driver; spent 5k on a major service and nothing more over 35 kilometres. Perfect car!

Same with wives & divorce...😅

Workin' part-time in a service job, you shouldn't have even considered buyin' one of those MONEY-PITS at all...

Me too, but not when Ferrari parts cost 10x more than they should.

Owned An Opel Monza cabriolet with that clutch system. Took me 20minutes to change the clutch and 15 minutes more to collect the tools, put them away and wash my hands :) Absolutely superb design, even faster than changing the clutch in my split window VW kombi!

The replacement of the clutch on a Ferrari 308 does not require the removal of the transversely fitted engine and/or transmission assembly - which is a significant benefit as clutches on these cars are not 'long lived' - when the cars are used with verve. The Dino 308 GT4 (later named Ferrari Dino 308 GT4) was the first Ferrari fitted with the said V8 and it first introduced in 1973 which predates the Cavalier/Ascona by some 8 years.

@@georgebettiol8338 Can you change the clutch in 45 minutes or less on the Ferrari??

@@andrewallen9993 Depends on the profeciency of the mechanic.

Cadillacs are definitely much more ownable and way cheaper to fix than Ferraris...

People defer maintenance on exotics because the labour and part prices are unnecessarily exorbitant. You can buy a part with a Ferrari stamp that is $1000 or the exact same part with a Fiat stamp for $50. If they wouldn't rip people off like this, maybe owners would spend the money.

Urination Bob about to take a golden shower.

​@@QuickQuipsEnjoy......😅

They are more complicated which could potentially result in less reliability (not always). Does not help that these high end sportscars live horrible lives. Just 30.000 miles in a few decades sounds like it has been standing wuite s lot or had lots of cold starts. Is not too surprising it is a money pit.

​@@BigBearBjornaThe engine and the entire suspension are mounted on a subframe . Removing the engine is easy. You take the engine out on the subframe to change the cam belts. It's really no big deal.

@@BigBearBjorna Then the NSX would definitely seem like a much better value for the money... You can get at least 100K+ miles on those if taken cared of properly!

​@@bobolulu7615 yup it's designed this way cuz it's basically an old school race car so stupid when people compare this engineering to their basic ordinary cars not even in the same category

I'm not a fan of cars that look like bananas.

Can it be done by yourself, and how much will it cost ya?

Buy a Miata and save your money. You'll have 95% of the fun and people won't think you're a prick.

Was it a V8?

@@chefgromano5025 OK, I get it... Those things are NIGHTMARES when it comes to repairs! 🤑

Hoovie started that. Lol

@@21Piloteer Oh good thanks, so I am not the weirdo, Tyler is.

Thanks!

Expensive Shit 👎

NO SHIT!!! 🤑

Ferrari should just bring back the Testarossa and JUNK all of their UGLY-ASS modern garbage shit designs... WTF is so wrong about cars from the 80s? 🤔

it does

what a horrible car as well as Lamborghini.

NO - the 348 is still a Maintenance nightmare. The Transverse engine design means that the engine MUST be removed to perform many basic service tasks. Ferrari/Exotic shop labor-rates have all increased, but the amount of hours to remove a 348 engine has not decreased....so just getting access to service issues starts at $2-3K before any real work can be performed. Couple that with the scarcity of quality 348 parts, some items are already NLA anywhere. Hard Pass.

@@MichaelJames-lz7ni Then I'll take an NSX instead... NO worries for at least 100K miles as long as proper maintenance is kept up! 🤗

​@MichaelJames-lz7ni In the 348 the engine is mounted longitudinally, not transversely like in the 308/328 that preceeded it.

Yeargh, but how much will cost ya to get all those parts installed tho? 🤑

People need to be made aware of these things before they get that eBay "buy it now" cheap Ferrari....and then get service bills north of $20,000 just to get it to run correctly. Those time-bomb cars are NOT in short-supply - many Exotic owners LIE about their service expenditures to get-out of properly maintaining a car they're looking to sell.

@@MichaelJames-lz7ni 100% FACTS!!!

True, but ya can't just park it out on the street or driveway tho... Especially if it's a Ferrari! 🤨

Go ask that question on the Cadillac channels instead... Might get an answer much quicker that way! 💡

OK, can ya just tell us which part costs like the most money and needs to be replace the most often? 🤔

@@OtomoTenzi The chassis needed to be replaced twice. The first time as the main longerons fatigue failed. Parts FOC from Morgan €7000 labour. It then needed to be replaced again as garage#1 had dropped and bent the chassis. All work done FOC at Morgan in Malvern but truck transport to and from south of France €4000. Bill last year for new clutch (failed cover plate), replace torsional vibration absorber yet again, replacement fuel tanks (originals cracked welds), new fuel pump, replacement seat belts, rebuild bevel gearbox was over €7000. This is just some of the larger bills. There have also been a lot of smaller ones and there would also be all my labour to take into account.

@@wilsonlaidlaw Hmmm, sounds like a MONEY PIT... 😐

YE$$$$$$... Like around 5-10K worth of repairs each year! 🤑
