Does any adult here believe that the engine on a modern ferrari only lasts 50k miles? wouldn't there be thousands of class action lawsuits over something like this? It's proposterous, that is why you are not seeing detailed long explanations..

There are many high mileage modena's out there.. the reason there are far more high mileage corvettes is simple.. corvettes cost 50k.. modenas when new cost over 200k (add the above sticker price most sold for).. the people that buy these cars usually have at least another car and work for a living.. they do not have the time to put that many miles gallavanting about in the ferrari.. Let me tell you I try to focus on my businesses and still try to drive the ferrari 3-4 times a week and I still will only put 4-6k miles a year on her.. It's hard to make time for it..

Also the modena is less suited as a daily driver than say a TT 997 porsche.. it's just a bit more difficult to use day to day.. (lower ride height.. more rigid)

There are a million reasons why you do not see many high mileage modena's and none of them have to do with engine failures.. You can use this argument to cover all exotic cars, does lamborghini, aston martin, pagani, mclaren, lotus all make cars with engines that blow at 50k miles? beause I do not see many 50k mile examples of those cars up for sale..

rubbish
