Why so much?
Multi-litre engines take 8–10L of premium oil, plugs come in packs of 8–12, filters are model-specific, and labour times balloon (some need bumpers or intake plenums off just to reach things). On the exotics, a "minor" service is an all-day job with £200+ of fluids alone.
The mainstream trap
You don't need a Ferrari to overpay — big German SUVs and performance saloons carry £300–£600 services too. If you're buying used, budget the servicing as seriously as the finance.
