Most of the cost comparisons assume taking it to a high end shop where the labor is ridiculously expensive. For example, there are a lot of items that need to be inspected and that labor quickly drives up the price whereas you can do this yourself for free instead of paying a shop $200 per hour to LOOK at your car.

If you can DIY the work, the maintenance is actually quite affordable.
I'm sure basics are easy to do but don't F430s need engine out service every 30k? Most do it yourselfers can't drop an engine. These cars also have some well documented weaknesses that need addressing.
