    New member here. I joined because I have a question to ask..

    I have found a nicely priced 2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia and I'm looking into buying it. The only concern I have is that the car has nearly 18,000kms. Should I look for one with less or no? What concerns would you Ferrari owners have if any?

    18,000 Km is noting, mine has 23,000 Km. I a have friends that has put 45,000 Km on his with no problems what so ever. If everything else is ok, I say go for it.

    3000 km per year is not a lot - usual rules apply - get it inspected before you buy and make sure you get the clutch and brake wear readings from the dealer's computer read-out

    If the car has many kms, as opposed to miles, on the odometer, you're fine. ;)

    Indeed, get a prpoer oem Ferrari Dealer PPI; 300 items inspected + all important measurements on print !

    You also get connected to the Factory Maintenance Network, all software is checked and updated in your car; costs about $500.

    This is what we call PPI; absolutely NOT at a local dealer.
