    Happy, Happy, happy…:) I just bought a 2013 Cali30 in great condition with only 12,000 miles and it comes with a 2-year Power 15 warranty from the date of my purchase (2 years = peace of mind). Black exterior, cuoio interior. Handling package, carbon fiber. Pictures soon.

    I loooove the design (gorgeous, including the magnificent rear, class, a lot of class), the engine, the F1 mode, the quick shifts, the sound/melody from the engine/exhaust, the luxury, hard roof and convertible at the same time, trunk being enough to go shopping, automatic mode (being in Miami, I guess driving about 50% in that mode, 50% with F1 when on highways and large avenues).

    I’m creating this thread so I can provide the Fchat community with the costs of maintaining the car over the years.

    Thank you :)

    Thinking of upgrading the backup camera so I can have a better and wider view (180). But not willing to drill holes in the car. I was hoping a bluetooth system would exist (with camera on license plate and a screen on board). Would you know anything about such system, or recommendations about an upgrade? Thanks.

    getting power is gonna be the issue. NO WAY would I tap anything into the electrical system of a modern ferrari. Heck my 30 hates to be off a tender for more than 24 hours, cannot imagine what tapping a light would do to it.

    I have not had the time yet to investigate all the details but I noticed what you are mentioning in a few devices. I would not want to touch anything in the car too, will see if a device exists with its own power source.

    6 weeks with the car now. Nothing to report, ….except the pure enjoyment of looking/staring at it, driving it regularly (daily driver) and smiling all the time when I accelerate…

    Will post all the costs associated with the car’s maintenance and repairs over the years, so members have an accurate view of owning such a car should they want to purchase one.

    Same here, have been looking at them for a couple of years, so ultimately found a fully optioned Cali30 that already had the transmission replaced!! and has been regularly serviced, right price and took the plunge.
    I wanted the 30 as it was the last of the N/A California series and ticks all the boxes for me, from the retro styling touches harking back to the 250GT California, the stonking engine, the versatility of having a hardtop coupe or convertible at the touch of a button and the beauty of the interior from a driver's point of view. Having had and still owning earlier era Ferraris' I found that my wife loves it because the air conditioning works and it is comfortable from a passenger perspective.
    Would love a gated stick, but can happily live with the Carbon Fibre paddles.

    Congratulations, enjoy in good health!

    I totally agree with your comments (versatility, styling, N/A engine, interior, comfortable, …). The more I look/stare at my car, the more I love it :)

    I feel like I wrote this reply, as it describes my experience exactly in every respect. I’ve had mine for a little over three years and 8k miles and I’ve loved every minute of it.

    p.s. - I thought that all -30 models came with the silver side vents, no?

    Funny enough, the 30's that came with the upgraded suspension pack were gifted those silver side vents. Must say i like them, looking at how to have mine done Bill.

    Ah right, I remember now, it’s the Special Handling option that got the silver vents.

    The HS package allowed a no cost change to the silver side vents and the bright front grill..
    and it offered faster steering and some suspension changes all in all I feel it makes for a much sportier driving car ….
    I recently bought my second 2013 cali30 HS and use it as a daily driver
    Love it….one thing for certain is even though i drive it atleast 5 days a week I leave it on a charger at least overnight once a week to keep the gremlins away
