Hi all, long time lurker, new member. I'm close to buying my first Ferrari. I live in Sarasota Florida and the nearest authorized dealer is over an hour away in Tampa. That concerns me. There is a local mechanic that claims to be an expert in Ferrari repairs here: Home Page

I'm wondering if any members here have experience with this place. Good, bad or indifferent.

Lastly, the car I'm considering is: http://m.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=371971619

Miles are high, but price/model/style/color are what I'm looking for. Should the high miles be a major concern? Given the miles, is there a big service interval for this vehicle around the corner?

 

Welcome!

I am a new Mondial owner in Central Fla near Inverness, Citrus County.

I don't know about the shop you asked about.

Good luck and if you get your car, drive up to the Nature Coast and we will meet up.
Alden

 

Thanks Alden. Congrats on your Mondial. I sure hope someone can let me know about this Sarasota Ferrari mechanic.

 

Welcome to F chat, on the home page scroll down to regional areas ....
Florida is there and click on it.
Members who hang out there will be more than helpful directing you to a good service center. You can post your location and ask a general question for a mechanic/shop in your area. The car will thrill you, enjoy the drive

 

High miles are not an issue if you have access to all service records, at 44 K most known issues should have been addressed. A PPI, prepurchase inspection is always a good thing, a clean Carfax, bad one can sometimes raise a red flag or two, and those service records mentioned are a good place to start.
