Ferrari today make perhaps the most reliable cars they have ever made. Luca Di Montemozolo has really turned around that aspect of Ferrari. When he first took over he noticed that the quality control wing (where they fix mistakes) of the factory was almost as large as the assembly area!
Maintenance for those cars is still outrageous but the Ferraris since about 2000 have been very much unlike the cars they've made the previous 20 years.

Also, Ferrari are rarely daily drivers from what I understand. Reliability is not such an issue with that particular car maker. I wonder what the average odometer reading is on Ferrari after 4 years. I'll have to check it out on Ebay
