    Some say 80% of Ferrari's are clocked !

    When I was looking for one, it certainly felt that way when viewing and having a PPI's done on some cars. The amount of "teen" mileage cars with worn seat base, bolsters or refurb evidence, pedal wear, seat belt recoil, gravel rash, underneath etc that suggested quite a bit higher mileage than recorded.

    Anyway 34k miles, and 15k done by me in the last few years and loved every one of them.

    Do people realise using them keeps them in better health ?

    Ideally one needs a Ferrari with low mileage to collect and one to drive;)

    OP: Congratulation on your extremely low mileage vehicle I hope your plan is to keep it very low and send it back to Barret Jackson in hopes to make a killing.
    I have to tell you if your plan is to do the above you will be loosing much more then what you may gain towards the end...these cars are meant to be driven as often as possible, I get the whole mileage thing and just for the record I have a just turned 17K F430..being a automotive technical guy my entire career I can honestly tell you these cars behave much better all around when they are exercised. The smile it will put on your face is worth every extra mile.!
    Good Luck with your new ride and welcome to the club.

    picked up my '08 F430 a year ago with 36.4k miles on it, converted it to MT before bringing it home, now at 38.5k miles.

    I agree one just to look at and collect, and one to drive is the way to go, but if you're like me and can only have one, it's the one you drive :)))

    and with my hand on the stick the whole time, I can honestly say my right hand has never had more fun!

    OP: I remember when you got it, I see you chose not to drive it. I don't know how you resist.

    Bought my 2009 430 in Feb 2020 with 11,000 miles. Should hit 15,000 very soon. Wish I could put more miles on it, but some weekends are so busy with errands and “honey do list” I only drive the Cayenne. Here in NJ when the weather gets cold in a few months, a car with ceramic brakes and summer tires isn’t safe to drive, so the Ferrari will not be driven at all.

    Bought my '07 spider in 2019 with 21,000K miles on it Just passed the 24,000 mark wish I would drive it more, but a) covid jacked with my plans, and b) wife always has some errands that come up exactly on a nice, cool saturday morning :) Anyway, love this car, and actually seems to drive better the more I drive it. Each time I take it out, I try to drive no less than 25-30 miles, and "always" let the oil come to temp before hearing that glorious wail at 8K rpms.....(F1 shift)

    OK I have to know. What year and were those mostly miles putting the car on/off the trailer and then the lift for your annual service.

    Ok. Lucky you. [emoji1303]. I retract my earlier comment

    But still a “tad” sad that such a machine just sits there ….., waiting to be driven. Oh well… I can only afford one, so my perspective is obviously different

    Have a great weekend
