Congratulations! You made the choice to become a Ferrari owner. There’s a reason Ferraris are so famous- they are the absolute gold standard for automotive performance, beautiful lines, and precision driving at its finest. Now that you own a Ferrari, you want to keep it looking and running like new for as long as possible. Follow these tips to ensure that your exotic car continues to uphold the Ferrari standard of excellence for years to come.

Stick to the maintenance schedule– As with any car, it is important to get your Ferrari serviced regularly, by skilled technicians who know what they’re doing. Keep in mind, though, that routine maintenance for Ferraris costs significantly more than an average car. Expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1100 for an oil change, depending on the model of Ferrari you own. Regular maintenance such as oil and filter changes, tire rotations and lube jobs will keep your Ferrari at peak performance as the years go by.

Keep your Ferrari covered– To keep your paint from fading, chipping or looking old before its time, invest in a good car cover for your Ferrari. Even if you keep your Ferrari parked in a garage, you should consider keeping it covered, since you never know what might scratch or damage your car, and you don’t want to have to take on the hefty expense of a new paint job for your Ferrari.

Keep mileage low– Remember that scene in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, when the teens try to drive the Ferrari in reverse to “erase” the miles they put on it? Well, that doesn’t really work in real life either. Your Ferrari is functional art and should be treated as such- try to keep the mileage down, not only to maintain its value but also to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on the high-performance engine and finely-tuned parts that make up the magnificent machine.

With the proper care and maintenance, a Ferrari can keep its brand-new luster and beauty for decades. Your Ferrari will continue to dazzle and outperform every other car on the road for years to come if you treat it right.
